A STRANGE STATEMENT Nearly all
the medical authorities, and those who
have been fortunate enough TO recover
from n stroke of lightning, agree that the
electricity acts with such extreme rapidi-
Iy us to be absolutely painless. Prof
ryndall relates that while standing in the
presence Of an audience, and about to
lecture, he accidentally touched wire
leading from Il charged battery of fifteen
large Leydcn jars. Life was absolutely
hloted out for u very sensible interval.
without n trace of pain. In another sec
ond or so consciousness returned. lie SAW
himself in the presence of the audience
and in contact with the apparatus. and
realized that he had received he discharge.
The intellectual consciousness of his posi-
lion was restored with exceeding rapidi-
ty, but not so the optical consciousness.
TO prevent the audience being alarmed,
he stated that it had often been his desire
to receive accidentally such shock, and
that.h wish had at length been gratiied
But while making this explanation the
appearance which his body presented to
himself WAS that of being in separate
pieces. Ills arms, for example, seemed
to be detached from his body and sus-
pended in the air. Memory and the power
Of reasoning and speech were complete
long before the optic nerve recovered from
the electric shock.

INCOMPETENT DOCToRs.-With the
excep ion of one college in New York
and two in other states, says Barnes Ed
ucdt,onal Monthly, any one may become
IA medical student without preliminary
examinations in anything, moral character
not excepted. Students are always grad
ated with two years study, and in some
institutions the course of study is even
more superficial and imperfect. Exami-
nations for diplomas are not at all rigid,
knowledge of chemical analysis not
being required. There is not single
doctor in one of the western counties of
New York who Can conduct decent
chemical analysis, or even tell whether
his nitrate of bismuth does or does not
contain arsenic. A doctor recently stated
on examination that the proper dose of
prussic acid for child two Years old was
from two to six drops! AS general
thing, doctors in rural places. and in some
of our cities as well.stick to the antiquated
remedies and outrageous doses. We think
our educational journals ought to stir up
the young doctors to more diligent habits
as students. Each one of them should
have his chemical laboratory, where he
daily should conduct such chemical analy-
sis as sickness demands. If doctors were
little more enterprising and pushing.
we should know something more about
such diseases as typhoid fever and measles
Call two doctors in succession TO child
attacked with these diseases, and the
probabilities are that they will give you
contradictory explanations and totally
different remedies. This is no recon-
mendation to the medical profession
Because doctors are not scientific, the
practice of medicine is not conducted or
scientific principles, and medicine to-day
is not science. 1t is practice WI
admit much to the honor of sensitive
tastes. The day will be hailed with Joy
by Il diseased world when this practice i
conducted on scientific principles. w,
aymen would like to know many thing
our medical advisers will not tell u
simply because they cannot. Let us hav
some light on these diseases lurking
unsubdued in all parts of our land. 1t /
your duty to enlighten the world, and
you are the students you should be, som
of you will bless this humanity of ours b
telling exactly what will cure certai
diseases. and why it will do SO. Yo
should be paid to prevent as well as cure
We would rather give you twenty fiv
dollars to keep us well, than ten to cur
us when sick.

generic name, puL careful observation will
show us thlt this is not its perfect condi-
ton; AMI when later in autumn these
threads become more compact, and are
surmounted on their horizontal surfaces
BY shining black capsules, or perithecia,
each of which is filled with elliptical and
elongated cells. and each in turn contain
inc several spores, we shall find in Erysi-

of the dimorphism of this fungus, so iniu-
rouS in its effects.
The famous grape mildew so destructive
to the grapes of f irope, and known as
Odjum Tucberi, is also only an imperfect
form of some common Erisypbe; so Of
the grape fungi of New England, as well
us of various other fungel plants.
Even the cluster cup first described is
quite likely to turn out but one form oI

have before said, even now suppose il
identical with the pucciuia, and with good

Peer, of jumping from The new suspension

distant places in Canada, and excursion
trains had been run from various places
1t will be remembered that II few months

md there can be no doubt that by over
coming them he won in the present con-

would not train at all. His health was

appears to be all but insane. He imagines
hat persons around him are plotting
,gainst him, and frequently discharges all
his attendants. HIS caprices are some-
lines absurd.
During the walk in the American lnsti-
ure building, for example. be kept the
band playing a single tune over and over
I'll one afternoon and evening; sent an
order to the door TO admit no sporting
men; hired u woman to hand him bou-
luets on the track, and a little girl to
lodge under the railing and kiss him;
sent proposition to Mr.. Hepworth 10
preach on athletics on the following Sun
lay While he sat on the platform; invited
co npany of the 7th regiment to escort
him to hotel at the close of the walk !;
and did many other ridiculous things in
the way of grotesque costumes and antics
Before the walk commenced he wrote
out directions as to his treatment by his
attendants, and lectured to them on the
subject. They were to speak to him
gently at first when asleep and the time
came to 90 on the track; then louder if
he did not respond, and finally if he
remained on his couch, argue with him on
the folly of his course. His meals were to
be served at regular hours, and-in exact
quality and quantity. In point of fact,
however, he would subject himself to no
rules or restraints. Nobody could influ-
ence him in the least He would eat
whatever and whenever he pleased. He
walked at whatever gait suited him at the
moment, at one time being respondent
| sauntering, and at another boyishly elated
and nimbe. That, he was a walker with
wonderful powers was well known tc
those who knew the man thoroughly; but

men antagonized them, and they did III
they could to injure him. That he wa:
a trickster was abundantly proved, anc
