PROT, keTuhnsrs Lecture - tue t.upli- ,

Prof, hcTuhn.t's Lecture - tue tuplt- uf
tho blsh -cha"l,
The nth lecture, 10 which tho pupI's f
the high school were treated on Friday
afternoon, was delivered by Prof Kersh
ner, of Franklin and Marshall college,
bis subject beng, " Electricity and
| Magnetism."
lie started out by giving skeleton oi
| the ground over which he intended to
| take his hearers and then began 10
| illustrate aud eSpatiato upon hs first
| topic. He described tue two kinds o,
| electrcties, positive and negative, show
ing how like eIectrIcitics attract, and
unlike rePal each other This was clearly
shown by holding an electrified piece OF
wax near pith ball. At first the wax
attracted the pith ball. But as the ball
became charged with similar electricity,
the two rePused each other. This, Prof
kershuer explained, was meCbaui "a
electricity, being caused bT friction and.
was evident TO ALL it could be put u very
little practical use But chemical eleC-
tricty could bc made decidedly practical
not only causing motion aud magnetism,
but causing motion and marGeti,m to
produce in turn, mechanical electricity.
The process by which chemical ecc
trical fluid is produced was then explained
and illustrated by showing the ac.lou OF
sulphuric acid, upon zinc plate.
After few experiments with the gravity
battery, in which he sho wed the use Oi
insulators, Prof Kersbuer proceeded u
explain the phenomenon Of magnetism
and TO show its relation To electricity. The
best natural magnets are iron, cobalt and
nickel.
The next topic was ths polarity of all
electrified bodies. The north AMI south
poles OF all electrified bodies, being charg.
ed with different eltGtriClties attract each
other. II two electrified bodies be brought
into contact with each other, the like poles
will repel, and the unlike poles will attract
each other. But if the diIectiOn of the
electrical current, that il Of tho subtle a
tractive force, be changed, the polarity Will
also be changed.
This subject vas aptly illustrated by
numerous experiments, aud then Prot.
Korshner proceeded 20 explain and detiue
"cOercive force" which is simply the
power which different bodies possess OF
retaining magnetism. The cOerciye force
Of different bodies, differs with tleir degree
OF hardness. But it may be permanently
retained, by connecting the poles with a
soft iron bar, called an armature,
Ia conclusion, Prof. Kershner explained
that although IL IL impossible TO under.
stand the true nature OF tho subtle, mighty
force called electricity, yet, that it does OK
ist 10 oil bodies, is au indisputaOle and es
tablishGd fact.

The burning Question.

The doctors OF the state, who have
been In session in Philadelphia, have
been interviewed as to their opinion OF
incineratlon as the best method Of dis
posing Of the dead They seem, like the
rest OF the world, TO be Of different minds;
some being hotly for the burning, others
rs hotly for burial, while the majority
are calmly Indifferent and dispc sed to
allow their patients entire freedom of
choice as to the disposition Of their
bodies after death, so that they are al
lowed full swing prior to that interesting
event. They would like, Of course
to have the bodies for dissection and
some OF those who halted between two
opinions on the incineration question,
seemed to do go because they were In
doubt as to its effect upon their cher.
isbed post mortems. They would incline
TO incineration OF the body, in a body,
most likely, IL only the law would pro,
vide that everybody's body should be
scientifically cut up before being burned.
II was suggested by some 81
these Philadelphia, doctors That the
only objection to burning bodies,
that they could see, was that
they would not be on hand for ex
animation in cases of murder, where the
funeral rites had been performed before
the law had stepped in to claim the re-
mains. But, they said, this difficulty
could be avoided by requiring post
mortem examination to be made in every
case Of death under suspicious circum
stances in other words to have doc
tors bill for dissection at every coroner's
inquest.
This would be good for the doctors
aud might be good for the law. 1t
would certainly he very convenient for
the commonwealth in murder trial 10
have o full autopsy OF the body nur-
dercd and very embarrassing to look
for IL N It's ashes. But we fear that the
coroner's autopstes taken as a matter
OF precaut!on, would not be worth a
great deal on the trial. The carelessness
and stupidity generally attendant in full
measure upon corOner's inquests would
be found In the autopsy. So that II the
doctors really want incineration 10 be
established, they must favor it on its
merits, anu rot on the idea that it will
help the profession.
Though it may possibly happen that
people o! a practical turn Of mind, when
they know that their bones are to be
burned, will incline to permit the doc.
tOra to carve them IN. either in the
interest of science or for lucrc. As the
burning will speedily ohliterate the dis.
fgurement of the eknife, there will be no
reason at all in your relations refusing
your body to the doctors, il they think
you are an Interesting case And, per
haps, there may come to be attached O
dissecting room 10 every crematDry
where after the friends have had the
last view of the remains, science gets the
last use of them before they are commit
ted - the flames.

The NUH-rk Savings Bank.

The faiLuyg OF the Newark saving.
institution t,rpws great deal Of light
upon the causes Of the collapse of Fisk
and Hatch, the truly Christian bankers
in New York, who have failed for the
second time. The Newark concern
failed before by and through them. The
bankers had the Cleslo.akc ani Oaiu
railroad to nurs9 a half score OF years
ago. They advertised its bonds as a
first class security and sold them but
they turned out not to be first class, aud
the buyers suffered. Fisk and Hatch
probably had faith in them, for they
failed on .hem {; 50 did the Newark

and set anOat with its Old officers They
have again come to grief with Fisk aud
Hatch, to whom they trusted their box
of government bonds, which was
all that they could inv st in :;
but they got around this res.ric
tion by permitting their bankers
to use their governments and their green
backs; and now they haven't any bonds
or greenoac but instead box Of mis-
cellaneous securities, politely described
rs being "of less value and less saleable
than government bonds"
IL seems that Fisk and Hatch have
been engineering the bill In Congress,
which authorizes national banks
to issue currency within ten
per cent. Of the market value
OF the government bonds they put
in the custody Of the United States to
secure their circulation, They had
bought up "a great quantity Of goyern-
ments in the expectation that the passage
or the bill would create demand for
them from the banks, and that the price

In the VI. Z. general conference on
