The Republican journal., 1871-03-16

A writer in the Overland Monthly gives
the following interesting items of life in
Buenos Ayres: He was sitting with the
American proprietor Of q quinta, one
noon time, with doors and windows all
open, and slipping glass of wine, when
he felt sudden but not unpleasant SEN
sation, like Il chill, which lasted not long
er than a quarter of q second. At the
same time a sharp click proceeded from
the bottle and wine glasses as if they had
been lightly raped by some small object.
That's the aire" ''What's the aire 81
asked the guest. eff you attempt to lift
that bottle" said the host, ''you will find
it is cut in two; and you will also dscov-
er that the glasses have shared the same
fate This was found to be true. No
satisfactory explanation can be given OF
the phenomenon, but it is thought to be
entirely electrical. If a dog OF other an
imal should happen to be heated at the
time it comes in contact with the aire, it
