Are We Electrical Batteries?

Professor Hyland Kirk, who writes of
the subject in The Popular Science
Monthly is sure of it.
1t is known that many persons. after
shufTiing and rubbing their shod feet
upon carpet for few moments in a
lively manner. can light a gas jet from
the electricity in the point of a finger.
But Professor Kirk tells a story which
MAX es that performance small indeed.
He q uotes a letter which narrates how.
in lS42, Gen. Dayton. United States SEN
ator from New Jersey. one night pulled
off his silk stockings, underneath which
he vote .GRafier- pair Of thin woolen
onss""dnd went to bed He noticed an
Unusual quantity of electric sparks and
snaps as he drew off the silk stockings.
But in the morning. behold-a wonderl
The silk stockings were burned to coal;
one of his slippers was also consumed,
the carpet was burned through, and the
floor beneath was roasted to charcoal
There was no possible way for the fire to
start except by electricity from Gen.
Dayton's feet. In fact. he had struck
his own silk stockings. by lightning and
consumed them An expensive scientific
experiment it must have been in those
days, when men wore long stockings
and knee breeches.
The strange part of the story is that
the general slept through all, and was
not awakened by the smoke or smell of
burning right by his bedside. Probably
he had been to senatorial banquet the
night before.
Professor Kirk gives several other in
stances that go to show the human body
is an electrical storage battery, giving off
manifestations powerfully under right
conditions. Good health is one of these
conditions.

Spain now threatens to give Colum-
bus exposition in 1892, and thus take the
wind out of the American sail. Italy
threatens the same because Columbus
happened to be born there. These ma
tions ought to celebrate Columbus, both
of them. Italy whistled him down the
wind with scorn when he spoke of new
world beyond seas, and drove him
out of her borders as crank. Spain
cheated him out of all his possessions,
even his glory, after he had given her a
continent, and finally starved him to
death. America is the only country
that did not wrong him. Oh, yes! Let
Italy and Spain have Columbus fair,
by all means. By the way. the city Of
Havana. in whose cathedral the body of
Christopher was finally deposited, after
having been carted over the world
two or three times, ought to have some
show in the coming Exposition in Amer
lea. The American Exposition is to be
