SHALL WE ACQUIRE HAWAII?

The Dispatch says the United States
government needs Hawaii and the Mica
ragua canal. and that it must therefore
have both. Is that a sufficient ground
for the United States government making
acquisitions? Is this government TO take
forcibiy whatever some Americans may
tkisk that it needs? We are not prepared

trine. We must not only need the thing,
but there must be a foundation of justice

Electrical Ernnds-

Frauds" may be classed all electro-sal-

are concerned. Imagination Is Won

especially is this true when the ailment
is more or less imaginary. The agent

every opportunity TO help on the decep-
ton. lie will cali attention to the glow
warmth produced by the insole, the
blister made by the air-tight lining of
q belt or shield, or the sore caused by
the zinc or copper as the effect Of the
electric current. The writer had the
privilege OF examining an electric belt
with spinal column attachment the
cost OF the whole thing being so. This
was remarkably cheap. considering the
disease it was warranted to cure. The
box I'm which the combination was. packed
was covered with a long list Of diseases
ending with &c, &c. leaving one 70
infer that had the box been larger they
would have been longer. The current
generated from this belt was not SUM-
cient TO affect a delicate galvanometer-
a galvanometer capable Of indicating
one-tenth Of "A milliampere. The mini
mum electric current used by competent
medical men IS from two 10 five miiiiam-
peres. In a recent libel suit in England
il was brought out that the ordinary
current generated by an electric belt is
from one-four-hundredth TO one-iive-
hundredth of "A mlliampere, and consid-
ering the various paths open for the
passage of this current-the lining Of the
belt, the Underclothing the surface Of
the skin-the chance of any OF this
infnitesimal charge entering the body
may easily be imagined. Most Of these
belts and shields are worn in such n
manner that they form a closed circuit
around the body. thus putting the body
in a magnetic field, If there were any
current. Some recent tests in the Edison
laboratory show that this can have no
effect. The armature of n large, sepa-
ratey excited dynamo was removed. a
person then placing his head I'm the
strong magnetic field occupied by the
armature was unable to tell when the
current was turned on or off. EXper-
iments were made by rapidly reversing
the current in field magnets, and as be-
fore no effect WAS felt. The London
Times has refused to advertise any OF
these electrical frauds. The electrical
journals are fun OF advertisements OF
all kinds Of electrical goods, yet not one
of them will publish an advertisement
of any electrical belt or similar con-
trivance. This fact alone is sufficient
evidence Of the character Of these goods.
In a leading agricultural paper that
guarantees its columns 10 be free from
frauds. there appear weekly from three
TO five illustrated advertisements of
electrical belts, insoles or shields. But
people like TO be humbugged. and this
is probably as harmless n way as any.
