How Lightning Kills.

In my article "Why Lightning Usually
Kills. which appeared in Notes for the
Curious" on January 7, of this year,
stated that the electromotive force devel
Oped by ''bolt of lightning" of the
regulation size was $500, 600 volts, the
current about IA, 600, 600 amperes aud the
time of discharge about 1870, 900 part of
a second. There is no way of measuring
the extraordinary amount Of energy thus
developed so as to give it in figures that
would be correct beyond all question,
but it is worthy of remark, that the best
scientists and electricians say that it is
not less than 2, 400, 000,00 watts, which
would be equal to n stroke of 1924, 1872
horse power!
At the time the article above mentioned
was written was not in possession of
data that would give clear explanation
of the cause of death from lightning
stroke, but have since secured it in
the following, which is from the pen
of one of the best electricians Of
the day: "The cause of death by
lightning is the sudden absorption of the
electric current. When a thunder cloud
which is highly charged with positive
electricity bangs over any certain place
the earth beneath it becomes abnormally
charged with the negative electric cur
rent, and man, animal or other object
standing or lying directly beneath also
partakes of the last mentioned influence.
If. while the man, animal or other OBJ
iect is in this condition, a discharge
takes place frop the cloud above, the
restoration of the equilibrium will be
sudden and violent; or, in language that
we can all understand, the negative
current from the earth will rush up to
join the positive oud-current, and in
passing through the object which sepa-
rates the two currents, if it be an ami
mate being, will do SO with such force as
to almost invariably produce instant
death.
According to the above, which seems
a tenable hypothesis, to say the least, a
fellow is really struck by the ground
current and not by the forked fury from
above at all.-ISt. Louis Republic.

THE BODY AND ITS HEALTH.


The HYGIENE OF THE TEETH. -"M
decay of the teeth,n says the London
Lancet, "begins from the outside, no
such thing as internal decay having ever
been demonstrated; hence, if the surface
could be kept absolutely clean, no decay
could take place, however poor the
texture of the teeth. This is of
course impossible, but much may be at
tanned by attention to hygienic rules.
Parents often ask dentists and medical
attendants: When ought teeth to be
cleaned?' The answer assuredly is: AS
soon as they are teeth A very small
toothbrush charged with some precipi-
tated chalk. favored with an aromatic
drug to make it pleasant, is perhaps the
best means"
The PULSE AND THE TEMPERATURES. -
If YOU take thermometer on hot SUM
mer day, and watch it until it runs up
under the influence of the sunshine to
9S.4, you will see it, when it reaches
that point, at the exact temperature of
your body, if you are in normal health.
Your temperature may fluctuate frac-
ton above or below 9S.4, according to
the time of the day or night, but it never
varies to any extent until fever or some
other kind of disease sets in. Then the
temperature begins to do what the pulse
would not do-tell just how dangerously
sick the person is. And one of the strange
things about it is that it does not vary
many degrees from this normal point OF
98.4, no matter how i'll the patient may
become. If there is a high fever, it may
run up to 104 or 105, and sometimes
to 1906, but it seldom stays at this
.ast point for any length of time.
If it goes up to 10S, the good
physician who is watching at the
bedside of the sick person concludes thai
death will soon put al end to the suffer.
ing. Sometimes, as in cases of cholera, il
may drop several degrees below 98.4, but
it seems to be impossible for 1t to change
many degrees from the normal point
There are cases recorded where the tenn
perature ran up to 10 or liz and the
patient recovered. The pulse, on the
contrary, may change many beats, and
still the sick person will not be in danger
of death But, as a rule, Il the temper
allure reaches 109 or 100 death soon fol
lows. A tiny thermometer called q
clinical thermometer. is used to indicate
the temperature. 1t is placed under the
tongue, or close to the skin in the axilis
or arm, pit, and left there for few min
utes. BY an ingenious arrangement tn,
mercury in the slender glass tube is self
registering so that you may tell how higl
it was any time after the temperature il
taken if the mercury is not disturbed.
