ELECTRICITY and Health.

A favorite illustration to make viv-
id the comparison between our grand.
fathers days and our Own, used to be
the wonderful development caused by
the use of steam power. But that
has been cast in the shade by the APP
plication of electricity during only the
past ten years. The uses to which it
has been put remind us most torcibly
that truth is stranger than fiction.
Still. though the electric spark has
been caught and harnessed for the
worlds daily work, what it really is
remains as much a mystery as ever.
Some declare it to be the all-pervad-
ing principle in nature, without which
any life or motion is impossible, the
only tangible and visible ultimate
cause aud moving force of the whole
universe. If this be true (and none
can say it is not) then the theory is
probable that the position of the body
during sleep. if due north and south,
is favorable to the great electrical
currents of the earth. exerting an i'm.
mense beneficial effect on the health.
The business man of to-day generally
takes the night for a journey, and
such will find that the great north and
south line, The Burlington, will at

The Statistician Of the Department

fluctuations, and obviate the unfair
showing of a single year of extremes
of yield or value, the average of ten
years is taken, making the most equit.
able possible basis of comparison. In

These who are interested in the eX-
port trade of American live cattle will
doubtless be glad to know that among
the laws enacted during the closing
days of the Fifty.irst Congress was
one by which the Secretary of Agri-
culture. through his inspectors at the
ports of export, is authorized TO exam.
inc all vessels which are to carry the
cattle TO foreign countries, and to pre-
scribe rules and regulations as to ac-
cOmmOdatiOns to be provided for the
cattle as to space, ventilation. fittings,
food and water supply, and such other
requirements as he may deem neces-
sary for the safe and proper transpor-
tation and humane treatment of such
animals. The violation on any vessel
Of the regulations made by him may
be punished by the prohibition of such
vessel from again carrying cattle from
any port in the United States for such
length of time not exceeding one year
as the Secretary of Agriculture may
direct. Secretary Rusk feels confident
that armed with such authority he can
secure to American export cattle such
necessary care and humane treatment
as will not only conduce greatly to the
profit of the shippers but also effectu-
ally offset the agitation aroused and
maintained in Great Britain by the
opponents of the American export
cattle trade on the ground of the in
human treatment of cattle.
