Electricity in the Human Body.

Most people are familiar with the
spark" which may be produced under
certain conditions by stroking the fur
of cat; and travellers in Canada and
other cold, dry countries have Witnessed
the still more remarkable phenomeL on
of the human body being turned into a
conductor of electricity and the posi-
bility of lighting the gas by merely
placing ones fnger-given the necessa-
nv condition of electrical excitement
near the gas jet, without any other
agency.
Mr.. A. w. Murcheson, the African
traveller, gives some more startling
facts. He states that, one evening,
when striking an African native in a
moment of anger, with cowhide whip,
he was astonished to see sparks pro
duced, and more surprised to find that
the natives themselves were quite ac-
customed to the phenomenon.
He subsequently found that very
light touch, repeated several times nm
der certain conditions of bodily excite
ment and in certain states of the atnos-
phere would produce a succession of
sparks from the bodies of native men
as well rs from native cattle. A lazy
negro, it seems yielded none of these
signs of electricity rather unfortu-
nate circumstance for his more active
brethren, who may possibly come in
for a share of undeserved fogging from
the hands of future travellers in search
of electrical phenomena among the hui
man race. We are not aware that these
facts have been recorded by the other
travellers, but they deserve thorough
sitting by competent observers.

vaars AGO n Young man named Henry
richards. who lived at Terre hante
Ind, was going home one evening
about dark from VISIT TO o iriena, aho
was walking along the railroad track
some little distance from was very
b;gb trestle work over creek, there
heino no planks placed across Tor
walking, so that people had to go over
ON the ties. Richards was walking
along at a lively rate, and when he ar
rived at the bridge he did not stop to
think that train coming IN was theh
due, but, being in hurry to get home
he started to walk across on the cross
ties. He had gotten nearly halfway
across the bridge when the train came
slipping around curve at hveiy rate
He saw the train at once, and started TO
run. but saw that it was useless, as IL
would certainly overtake him before he
could get off the bridge. He was now
in a terrible plight; to Jump Oh was
certain death, and if he remained on
the track the train would crush him to
pieces. There was no woodwork be-
meath the bridge for him to hang on to,
SO he saw that his only chance was
to swing on to small iron rod
that passed under the cross.ties. No
time was to be lost, as the tain was
nearly ON the end of the bridge. So
he swung himself under the ties, ana
in few moments was hanging on Tor
dear life. The engineer had seen him
lust before he swung under the bridge,
and tried to stop the train, but did
more harm than good, as he only sue
ceeded in checking the speed OF the
train, and made it longer time IN
passing over the form OF Richards. AS
the engine passed over, the Goals OF
fire from the ash pan dropped out, and
a number of them dropped ON his
hands, burning the flesh to the bone, as
he could not shake them of, and to let
90 would have been certain death.
"The trial was at length over, and,
nearly dead from frightan exhaustion,
with his hands burned in a terrible
manner, Richards swung himself upon
the bridge again and ran home, When
be reached there, his hair. had not
turned, but in short time afterward 1t
began to get gray, and by morning was
almost perfectly white. "-LoatsSOstIe
