The tblrd rail ia always dangerous, so do not touch lt. Swinging wires of any kind may somewhere in their course be io contact with live wires, so they should not ba touched.

If possible the rescuer should insulate himself by covering his hands with a mackintosh, rubber sheeting, several thicknesses of silk or even dry cloth. In addition, he should if possible com plete his insulation by standing ou a dry hoard, a thick piece of paper or even n dry cont. . Rubber gloves mid rubber shoe* or boots are ?till safer, but t!?<.}. cannot usually be procured quickly. If a live wire is tinder a person nud the ground is dry lt will bo perfectly safe to stand on the ground and (mil him off the wire with the bure bauds, care being token to touch only his clothing, and this must not be wet. A live wire lying on- n. patient may be flipped off with safety with a dry board or stick.

A llvo wiro n>?y be safely cut with on ax or - hatchet with dry wooden handle. The electric -urrent may be short circuited by dropp'gg a crowbar or poker on the wire. This must be dropped on the side from which the current Is coining and not on ?he far ther side, as the latter will not n'iort circuit the current before lt linn pa<.vd through tho body of the person In con tact.
