upon retiring to rest, the gas being out and the
room quite dark, the writer's attention was di.
rected to her foot, which was illuminated by
light. which, upon examination, was found to be
phosphorescent, and proceeded from the upper
side Of the fourth toe of the right foot TYSON
rubbing it With the hand the light increased and
followed up the foot, the flames filling the room
with disagreeable odor. This lasted some time
when the foot was immersed in basin If water,
hoping 70 quench the light, but to no purpose,
for it continued beneath the surface of the water,
the fumes rising above The foot was taken out
and wiped dry, but the light still remained. A
second immersion of the foot followed and soap
applied. with the same result. No more expert
ments were tried, and after time it gradually
