a Curious Application of Electricity

4 Curious Application OF Electricity.
Electricity would probably be de-
scribed by modern Shakespeare as
playing many parts" Now it is
used as painlessly performing a
medical operation, another time to
blow up Cars palace; now to light
up large docks, at another time to
boil a kettle. We hear of an in
stance in which it was used to pro-
cure the destruction of a mule by
gun cotton, and at the same time to
assist in obtaining an instantaneous
photograph of the proceeding. The
operation was conducted by the En-
gineer School at Willet's Point, New
York, the arrangement of the appar-
stus, etc, being as follows: The
mule was placed in proper position
before photo camera and duly TO-
cussed. Upon the animals fore
head cotton bag was tied con-
tanning six ounces Of dynamite.
The slide of the camera was
supported by a fuse; the camera
fuse and the dynamite on the mules
head were connected in the same
electrical circuit. and with a key
placed at some little distance off.
On pressing the key so as to send a
current through the wires, both the
fuse and the dynamite were stimuli
taneously fired. The camera slide
and the head of the animal fell
nearly together. The photo sensi-
tive plate was impressed with a pic
ture of the headless creature, still
standing, before its body had time
to fall.
