w. S. Sharp, superintendent of the
Oakland electric light and motor
company, while adjusting awire at the
company's works last Wednesday
morning, received a 6OO-volt shock.
He fell to the floor unconscious. His
eyes were glazed and his hearts ac-
ton had ceased. He soon recovered,
however. His hands were burned,
but not badly. The current was of
twenty ampers, and it was feeding a
motor circuit. This powerful stream
of electricity was generated by an en-
gine running forty-horse power. Edi-
son, the inventor, recently offered
500 to the man who would subject
himself to 100-volt shock.

Rough On The African Desert.

The chief delight of some newspa-

and disagreeable things, We confess
to having no taste in that direction,
We only wish that all the mean, low,

tend to degrade others could be
shipped to some African desert where
their associations and influence would
be among those not much better than
themselves.-POlk Co. ItemizeF.

As purchase, Mr.. Trullinger's prof

superf1uous accessory to comfort. The

youth courses merrily, the most pleas

provided the moon shines as brightly,
the stars twinkle as freely and
Nature still maintains her summer
garb. To them there would be

definite continuance of the summer sea
son, the happy little tiirtationS meath
lakeside foliage, the jolly little two-in-
One-hammock adventures, which go to
make a season at the lake the fun that
it always is. All things must have an
end, however, and wise manmaS refuse
to run the risk of allowing their dar-
lingS to contract severe colds or incur
able love affairs by prolOnging the eX-
pGSure to either. Practically the lake
season is at an end. and soon the mem
DRY of the happy times at Mlnnetonka
will have faded by contrast with the
more brilliant affairs of a social season
i'll the city AS usual, the White Bear
hotels, as being most accessible to par
ties desiring to go to the lakes for a
day, will remain open the longest. The
MinnetOnka hotels probably will close
within the next two weeks.
