parella, or knee-pan. The electrical organ was
discovered about two weeks after the last named
experiments, and, when under excitement, acts
consistently with the caloriic and frigorihc or
gans that is, the electricity is supplied as rapidly
as it is conducted away. The patient being
placed upon a common insulating stool, and par
tally mesmerised, the excitement of this organ
( as produced by touching the patela. At first,
a phosphorescents smell was obvious, which
was in about minute succeeded by the most
powerful and pungent development of the aroma
peculiar TO the colored race and this continued
to an annoying extent throughout the whole ex-
pertinent. Sparks were taken from her fingers,
and every part of her body was pervaded with
electricity. The phenomena of attraction and
repulsion were exhibited, and Leyden jar was
charged SO as to give smart shocks. She did
not appear very highly charged, as the sparks
were only half an inch in length. Of the posi-
bility of this condition there can be no question
even with the most skeptical, since the well au-
thenticated account of an electrified lady in a
late number of Silliman's Journal. The Doctor
claims credit only for discovering the locality OF
the organ. The state of electricity was found
TO be negative, and this is interesting when
viewed in connexion with the fact that the
atmosphere of crowded rooms is always found
to be negatively electrified. Some further re-
marks and experiments with the "nervaura" will
be given hereafter AN EYEWITNESS.
