The Menlo Park wizard claims to have
discovered another application OF the
wonderful force OF electricity, which
promises 10 revolutionize modern war;
fare, and that his new invention will
shame gunpowder and dynamite out OF
existence. In explaining his device to
areporter he said: =
1t is simple Us A, D. c.. have never spoken
in n fort can mako that fort absolutely impreg.
nablc so far rs an assault Is concerned, and
should only need twenty-five men In the fort TO
F do 1t. This is not guess work, but Il matter OF
absolutely scientific certainty. In fact twenty
five men would be a very liberal garrison. Some
y years ago. when the wires loaded with heavy
electric charges began TO go up everywhere, l
predicted that there would be danger OF the fire.
men receiving deadly shock by the electricity
running down the streams OF water which might
:. cross the wires. The insurance people laughed
nj tho idea; But l tried 1t on Il cat and the cat
( and found my theory to be true. That is to say
did and the cat found II out II there Is another
world for cats, lie never knew anything about
II in this world. ng
Now comes the practical part of the
invention. In the forts erected he
would place machines OF twenty thou
sand volts capacity. One man could
govern one stream, and by moving it
back and forth could NOW down any
advancing force. Ii he did not want to
be SO cruel he could modify the current
SO as to only stun the ASSISTANTS until
they were disarmed and nude prisoners
OF war.
The scheme is beautiful in theory.
New dramas are generally first tried on
a dog. but frequently the public do not
endorse the verdict OF the dog. Mr..
Edison's cat experiment may turn out
the same way. Executions OF criminals
by electricity have missed fire. The
perfection Of this method OF death
might be the realization OF the other.

Pensions for Ex-confederates.
MIssIssIPPI's APPROPRIATION WILL GIVE
$50 ANNUALLY TO EACH ONE EN-.
ROLLED.

JACKSON, MISS, Feb. 9-The House
has passed a bill appropriating $64, 200 a
year for pensions. This will give those
now on the rolls $50 each. The pres
ent appropriation is only $4,000. The
bill provides that all INDECENT ex-Con-
federate soldiers, sailors, servants and
the INDECENT widows of such shall be
entitled to $50 per month, unless the
number at this rate exceeds the appro-
priatioD, ia which event the amount
shall be pro-rated between them. 1t is
estimated that the INDECENT clause will
put at least 5000 on the rolls in few
years compared with the 1880 now on.
If this turns out true the amount that
each will receive will only be about
$I2. The bill makes the Auditor the
Pension Commissioner.
