Gas and Electric Light Dangers Mooded by Massachusetts
The Electrical Review comments on the Massachusetts gas and electric light commissioners report for the year ending June 30, 1980 noting 79 gas deaths and 106 non fatal gas accidents, 14 electricity deaths and 11 non fatal electricity accidents. It states no use numbers are provided to compare dangers and that most electricity deaths were workers or those touching live circuits while gas deaths stemmed from carelessness shutting off supply. It adds gas appears more dangerous to consumers and electricity more dangerous to employers, with 16 gas personal crisis reports and no public suicide case for electricity.

Progress of Invention and Wireless Theories
A survey of early invention milestones notes ultra sensitive microphones allowing audible echoes of dying flies, scarce knowledge of carbon paper and typewriter ribbons to around two dozen people, and wireless telegraphy performing worse at sea than on land. It claims underground coherers are unaffected by electric waves, arguing the earth’s curvature blocks wireless signals. It also mentions experiments generating electricity to run night trains by forward fan-induced air pressure.
