since, in consequence, as is supposed, Of the me.
tshc substances forming o part Of her dress and
toilet attracting the subtle fluid. The electric
current probably passed through the gold plate Of
her set Of teeth, thus killing her at once, and then
escaped by her hoops, passing on through her
garter and foot. The artificial teeth were disoov-
cred at some distance, and her metallic hoops were
found to be melted. Women, nova days, are
most ~fearfully and wonderfully made.
