Two Illustrations of Inherited Appetite
for Strong Drink
The questions raised by the fact that
there is an inherited appetite for IN
toxicating liquors transmitted to chill
dren from parents who are inebrlates
furnish problems which confront the
moral sense and conscience OF the
country, and demand solution in con-
formity with Christian and humane
principles.
Tt is below the figures which might
be cited in proc o state that one nun
dred thousand infants are annually
bern in the United States with SO
strong an hereditary appetite 1or
liquors that they a,e almost certain 70
become drunkard5.
What Temperance lecture could be
more eloquent and pathetic than an
incident which happened recently at
the New York City Tombs. A lawyer

sometimes brilliant pleas, walked INTO

strong upon him, to meet temptation
on every side and to fall again.

Other things being equal, elevated

ELECTRIFYING ANIMALS.

How -Monkeys AMI Elephants Act When
Under the Influence of n Battery.
Some interesting experiments have
been made lately in electrifylng the
wild beasts of menagerle In winter
quarters at Bridgeport, Conn. A
savage baboOn-was tied after a des-
perate struggles; n sponge at the end
of wire was put into his mouth, and |
another wire tied to one OF his paws.
A current of two cells maddened thd
beast, and the irritation increased un-
til twenty-eight cells were used, when
t grew less. When forty cells were
applied the animal became lethargic,
and very much like man overcome
with drink. The resistance was 5000
ohms, a surprisingly large figure.
After his release the babOon became
furious with rage Small monkeys
acted very much like children when
electrified. When the current struck
! them they screamed as II in agony;
when the current was withdrawn they
looked puzzled. One monkey tore the
sponge apart as though looking for the
ten him. A tame seal was made very
vicious, and bit the wires in two. A
hippopotamus took the full force Of the
battery of forty-two cells without
wincing. The wetness of the hides Of
the seal and hippopotamus made 1T inn
possible to ascertain the degree Of re-
sistance. Wild carniv ora showed keen
constituencies to the current. their re-
sistance varying from 5000 to $4,000
ohms. Brother wolf sat on his launches
and cried piteously when the current
was applied to him. Elephants took
nearly Il, 900 ohms. aud they actually
enjoyed the sensation except when q
strong current was passed through the
, trunk. They did not seem TO care for
