HOUSING AN OUTDOOR METER

Unique Device for Use in District*' Where Electricity Is Used for Pumping. For use in the irrigating districts oft Oregon, where many of the agriculturists employ electric energy for pumping purposes, a light and powef com-

pany has designed an inexpensive outdoor housing for its meters. This consists of a wooden box divided into two parts, the upper of which incloses the switchboard and fuses, and the lower, the meter. A door gives immediate access to the switches and fuses, while a cover plate securely screwed in place over the second compartment protects the meter, which, however, is visible for reading. The box is supported on, a substantial framework several feet from the ground.—Popular Mechanics.
