Efforts sunk into obscurity. IL consists
simply Of an electrie waking eaae
heavily charged. Tie cana IS made OF
wood OF leatheE. with q thin steel rod
running through tie centre OF IL a
Iaan puts small battery in his hip
pocket, with one fine wire raining down
into the4eft shoe and connecting with .
steel plate at bis hsel.
Another wire raEs from the battery M
into his coat sleeve and terminates IA
hook at the wrist. Upoa the head OF the
cane IS wire eyelet. and the hook IS fast-
ened to it. II is only this and nothing
more, and man thus equipped could
hold out against twenty men as expert
even as John L. Sullivan.
For illustration, short, slim gentle
maa. weighing 10 pounds, and knowing
nothing whatever OF pugilism. has occa-
sion TO 60 down town after dark. a
short distance from has home dog with
extended jaws and an rll-bite-you cir
about him leaps out 4 touch with the
point Of the cane elec.rifes and lays HIM
out ilatter than tissue paper.
Continuing his journey the gentleman
suddenly comes upon man with whom
he has not been on good terms for long
time. The latter is large and is noted as
fighter.
After first trying TO arrange their diff
ferences amicably the small man pro-
voke5 the other 10 assault hin, and then
e!ectTiies his assailaat. Henceforth
people viii heve TO be careful about call
ing even q puny, sashwearing dude a
liar. No brains are necessary to work
the machine, and one round VIII be suf-
icient to put stop TO a fight Police
men will have their clubs charged in
this way in order TO facilitate the max
ing Of arrests, and woe betids the luck
less individual who is so rash as to re-
sist.
Ladies carry their batteries in con
venient place, and the steel rod goes
through their paraSol handles. In the
crowd on Fourth avenue man snatches
lady's pocketbook. She sees him just
in time, and touches him with the end
Of her parasol. OF course he falls, and
she then easily takes her purse from his
fingers. Later on policeman finds him
and takes him 10 Jail. The result is the
same If an impertinent man makes an
Objectionable remark TO her.
When this invention is perfected there
will be no more of tho old style duels in
Kentucky, and it will lose its reputation
for blood Spilling. Two gentlemen will
engage in dispute, and one will chal-
lenge the other to bout with electric
canes. Two batteries of equal strength
will be selected along with the other
apparatus. Facing each other, they
stand with crossed canes, and at sig
nal agreed upon each endeavors to prod
the other with the point Of his weapon.
| Finally one receives ths shock and is
stretched out. There are no black eyes,
no ugly sword or bullet wounds, and the
fallen man is not dead. Besides, the law
has not been violated, and in day
! everything Is slovely.-Louisville Times
