Experiments Wit1 Electricity to FInd tho Ball
 EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug. l, 1145 %. m.-The President k passing quiet and comfortable day. Under supervision of attending surgeons, Professors Bell and Fainter this morning made another ap- plicatiOn to the patients body of the electrical apparatus known as the induc- tion balance, with the view of completing the tests of Saturday, which were not entirely conclusive, and ascertaininE definitely and certainly, if possible, the location of the ball. Professors Bell and Fainter have been almost constantly en- gagged for two weeks in experiments " th the induction balance, and have made several improvements which greatly add to it's efficiency. They tried this improved apparatus upon the Presidents body for the first time last Saturday, and although it indi- cated fairly the location of the ball, it was afterwards found to be slightly out of adjustment, and the experiment was not regarded as cOnciusiEas---4h results of this ulG-1,fig's tests, however, are en- tireiy satisfactory tO both professors Bell and Fainter, and the attend ing surgeons, and 1t is now unan- fmously agreed that the location of the ball has been ascertained with reason- able exactness and certainty and that it lies as heretdfore stated, in front of the wall of the abdomen, immediately over the groin. about five inches below and tO the right of the naval.
