When alternating currents are sent
through the human body the physio-
logical effects increase in severity with
au increase in the current strength, &C.
cording to Professor Edwin j. Houston.
With current strengths greatly in excess
of those employed in electrotherapy, addi-
tional effects are produced, aud tonic
contraction of the muscles follows.
Moreover, in such cases the severity of
the physiological effects is increased by
the high potential of the break-inducei

He Makes CJclOnes.

Professor Douglass has succeeded IN
manufacturing miniature cyclones and
tornadoes by means of electricity, thus
proving the electrical character of the
"praTie terrors." In carrying out his
plans he suspended large copper plate
by silken threads aud charged it from a
battery. He then used arsenious acid
gas, whereupon the combination of gas
and electricity could be seen hanging
from the underside of the plate in the
form of a perfect funnel shaped cyclone
cloud. When everything was ready,
the Professor swung the plate and the
miniature cyclone to and fro across
table Uttered with matches, pieces of
paper, pens, pencils, etc. The lighter
objects were instantly sucked up, the
heavier scattered in all directions. The
effects were exactly those of destructive
cyclones. These curious experiments
explain cyclonic phenomena. Low
clouds become charged with electricity,
descend and form connection with the
ealth. Then violent electrical com.
motion ensues, fiually settling into a
whirl which continues ultil an electric
equilibrium is established.-St. Louis

Hawaii is chiefly famous for its volca.
noes, says the Aratic Quarterly. Kill
auea, the largest active volcano in tue
world, lies on the side of the mountain
Mauna Loa, at an elevation of four thou
sand feet. We usually think of an ele.
vation as cone, but Kilauea is rather a
great suaken pit, in the midst of a vast
desolate plain which slopes up gently to
the summit of the mountain. 1t is pit
ofno less than nine miles in circumference
and the area of its lowest level is six
square miles. The level varies but it
is at present six hundred feet below the
surrounding country, and is reached by
steep descent down the sheer face of
precipice, which extends right around
the crater, and, as it were, walls it in.
Within the crater, toward its southern
end, is an inner crater, with one or more
lakes of fire, called Halemaumau, or
House of Everlasting Burnings, which
constitute the true chimney OF the vol
cano. Here Kilauea exhibits its cease
less activity. In the outer crater occa-
sional grand eruptions occur, but signs
of the slumbering forces below are ever
present in the form of blowing cones aud
steam cracks, varying in size from mar.
row clefts to great assures, from which
issue puffs and clouds of steam, fumes of
hot poisonous gases, and, from some,
liquid lava. The general bed is made
up of countless lava flows, of a variety of
forms and contcrtlons difficult to de-
scribe. At times it is surrounded by Il
circle of crags, thrown up from the lake
in molten state and soidifed as they
rose. They tower above the level of the
outer basin to the height of 400 TO 600
feet. From the top one gazes down
ward into a sea of liquid fire. Boston

COrean Hospitality.

In the matter of hospitality we might
learn much from the Coreans, who ap.
pear in the following story to keep alive
the ancient notion that nothing should
be too good for the stranger within their
gates. When Admiral Shufeldt went to
the hermit Nation to arrange for a treaty,
Miss Shufeldt missed valuable bracelet,
the theft of which was duly reported to
the proper authorities. Suspicion rested
on two natives, who were taken before
the tribunal aud subjected to a rigorous
examination. The officials found that
no incriminating evidence could be oh.
tanned against the suspected culprts, and
informed Miss Shuieldt of the fact, but
added, in spirit of courtesy, "If madam
wishes, however, we will at once cut off
the heads of both men. boston Tran

Lefthanded Suddenly.

Three years ago young lady of Fall
River, Mass, was hit on the left side of
the head by falling sign as she was
walking along a street in Boston. This
was followed by brain fever.
After some weeks she was as we'll in
mind and body as ever, but from a right.
handed person she had become so left
banded that she could neither cut, sew
nor write with her right hand, but
found 1t easy to dc all these things vita
her left.
Her right hand was just about as use.
full as her left had beea before she was
hurt. What is strange IS that, with 50
recent change in the use of her hands,
she never makes an awkward motion,
and is as graceful in the use of her left
hand as if she had been born lefthanded.

Several young men in New York
thought it good joke, relates the At
lanta Constitution, to make one of their
set think that he had inherited and
would soon receive fortune of S14, :
600, 900 from an uncle in Europe. The
news got out and the heir was flooded
with solicitations from the merchants
and money-lenders. He began to live in
, the style of Monte Cristo, aud now re-
fuses to believe that he has been de-
ceived. The doctors say he will carry
his delusion through life.

The disappearance of the Jim Fisk
restaurant recalls to an old New Yorker
that there were as cheap restaurants in
New York forty years ago as now. In
the fifties there was a famous cheap res
taurant on Chatham Square. Here one
could buy for ct cents a good slice of
beer with potatoes and turnips. For St
cents more one could have plum pud-
ding with rich sauce. Thus one OBJ.

Atlantic cable became famous he brought

How Ear Pulling Began.

Auciently, in many parts of France,
when a sale of land took place, it was
the custom to have twelve adult wit.
nesses accompanied by twelve little boys,
and when the price Of the land was paid,
and its surrender took place, the ears of
the boys were pulled, and they were
beaten severely, so that the pain thus in-
ficted should make an impression upon
their memory, aud, if required after
ward, they might bear witness to the
sale. New York World.

Among the very foremost agitators for
the building of better country roads is
Ex-Governor James A. Beaver, of
Pennsylvania, who made this the subject
of an executive message during his term
of office. Governor Beaver has written
for the Forum au explanation why most
communities find it 50 difficult to get
good roads. The school tax, he says,
we have become accustomed to; so we
have become accustomed to be taxed for
charitable institutions aud for the relief
of the poor; but in most States tue
habit of generations, so far as concerns
the improvement of roads, has been the
ineffective system of working the
roads, so that most men haze not only
had it firmly fixed in their minds that
roads are not proper subjects for direct
taxation, but that the highways might
be made by a small contribution of per-
sonal labor. 1t is this long and deep
rooted habit and unwillingness to pay
direct sufficient tax that is the primary
cause of our National disgrace in having
so few good highways and the remedy
lies in such an agitation as is happily
now going on in most States for a
keeneI public appreciation of the direct
commercial benefits Of well.built roads.
