Cow. Calf and Expires. Train.

culation, also had a similar effect. These
currents. if they exist. as told by the
learned scientist, must pass off with
the moistened deposits which are being
constantly expelled and a new supply
of electricity would have to be found
somewhere. Such electricity, having
its source perhaps in the decomposi-
ton OF metals. taken in the food we
Eat and the air we breathe, must of
necessity entail upon the organism Il
continuous strain in its production; 1t
may he that for such causes the body
becomes fatigucd after Il few hours of
eXertion. and absolute rest becomes
necessary for rec%uperation. Should
these experiments prove true there is
no doubt that, by the proper insulation
of the human body. much t~hrrapeutical
value would he its outcome. says u

1onr neur,nrs Take Less Oil.

With long bearings less oil is con-
sumed. If any one puts Il drop of oil
or water on one finger, and rubs it
with another finger quite hard, the
lubricator will squeeze out on the sides
and run away. The friction will then
produce heat, as there is no more lu-
bricator' to prevent it. When this has
been tried, adds p. Pryibil in Power,
put another drop of oil on the finger,
but do not press SO hard. and the lu-
bricator will last much longer. Some
one may say that Il longer bearing will
couse more friction than Il short one,
which is not so. 1t will only happen if
n bearing is too long i'll proportion to
its diameter and pressure, but if u
bearing las IL proper length aud is con-
tiruously oiled. it will take less power
than one which is too short and not
kept properly oiled.

made in 81 seconds, which was equal
to IL rate of 97.3 miles per hour; two
miles were made in 10 seconds. and five
miles in 2O5 seconds. which correspond
respectively to Il rate of 9G and S7.S
miles per hour. The locomotive was
drawing the usual train, and the time
was taken with Il stop watch. While
this was an exceptionally fast run, it
nevertheless was not much above the

Electro-Dentistry
A Process for Obtaining Electricity
Direct From Heat.


An authority in dentistry has called
attention to Il very important require
ment connected with the increasing
use Of electricity by dentists. He points
out the lamcntable results which have
so often followed GU the application Of
electricity by medical men who are
ruorly equipped with electrical knowl-
edge, and urges dentists not to place
themselves in IL similarly false position,
but, at all events, to master the ele-
mentary principles of electrical science.
| He also gives some facts. Tot generally
known, which have been deduced from
his own experience. He has found that
it takes twenty times more pressure to
overcome the resistance in the tooth
than in the soft tissue. The conduc-
| tivity is also modified by age, tempera-
ment and the nature of the disease.
Hence, greater quantity is used in
dealing with a patient who is advanced
in wears than in the case of a young
patient; moreover, greater quantity APP
pears to be desirable in operating upon
patients possessing a lymphatic or bill
iouS temperament than if the tempera-
merit be of the nervous OF sanguine
type. The problem Of obtunding SEN
sitive dentine is likely t be solved
through the agency of electromedica-
ton or cataphOresis. The favorable re-
suits already obtained encourage the
hope that after the 1ifferential actions
of the various kinds of electrical cur
