Scientists are harnessing, with ingenious method* the hazards of the miniature strokes of lightning which are generate by moving machinery. Shot off into a dust-laden atmosphere, thesr tiny bolts,of electricity often cause major explosions. This menace is being lessened by the ingenious method of a “curtain" of humidity created by small steam jets. Ey increasing the humidity of the air the charges of static electricity are reduced and the danger of explosions lessened as the “curtain" likewise checks the circulation I of dust. * — ■ "- ■— — — 1 •— -
