Electrical Execution in Practice.

The preparations necessary for
electrical executions are very SIM
pie. The condemned criminals cell
is visited by the prison authorities
and his hands and feet are saturated
with the weak potash solution which
so rapidly overcomes the SKINS re-
sistance; during this space Of thirty
seconds or less, his electrical resist
ance may be measured, though Mr..
Edison's researches in this line
have rendered even this unnecessa-
ry. Shod in wet felt slippers, the
convict walks to the chair and is
instantly strapped into position;
his feet and hands are again i'm
mersed in the potash solution con-
tanned in foot-tub connected to
one pole and in hand-basins con-
nected to the other. With this per-
feet contact there is no possibility
of burning the flesh and thus re-
ducing the effect of the current upon
the body. Dials of electrical in
struments indicate that all the ap-
paratus is in perfect order and re-
cord the pressure at every moment.
The deputy sheriff closes the switch.
Respiration and heart-action in
stantly cease, and electricity, with
velocity equalling that of light,
destroys life before nerve-sensation,
at speed of only $50 feet per Sec
ond, can reach the brain. There is
stifening of the muscles, which
gradually relax after five seconds
have passed but there is no strug-
gle and no sound. The majesty Of
the law has been vindicated, but no
