A Disputed Question.

Scientists and electricians cannot agree upon the number of electric volts which are necessary to cause a cessation of life in the human body; some claim that an excessive shock is more likely to cause incineration rather than instantan- eous death. but if they would turn their attention to prolonging and increasing the pleasures of life, the public would hail the result with more satisfaction. For instance, the electricity generated in a way of laughter is after all the most pleasant shock, and to see a large as- semblage moved by current of unoon- trollable mirth while witnessing the play of ''She Couldn't Marry Three,' ; places beyond dispute the fact that large volts of laughter are better than volts of electricity any day,
