power of transmitting light through the
animal tissues, was recently exhibited
at a meeting of the British Society for
the Advancement Of Science. The in.
ventor, DR.. Richardson, says that the
idea of effecting this transmission OF
light originated with DR.. Priestly, who
had observed that on passing the dis
charge of a Leyden battery through his
finger the member became luminous. By
this lamp, it vas asserted that the
motion Of the heart and Of the lungs
had been observed while these organs
were under the influence Of ether. The
