New YORK, Nov. 16.-The pos
sibility that the experiments upon
the person of a criminal con-
demned to death in the electrical
chair may prove successful, has
started at New York physicians
and electricians to discussing the
matter. A man is living in Pitts
field, Mass, having received
through his body an electric cur
rent of 1900 volts and remaining
to all appearances dead from the
shock for seven minutes. He is
not only alive, but well, and his
life and health he owes to the sug-
gestion of DR.. D'Arsonval, of Paris,
who a few months ago said that a
person shocked by a powerful cleo
trical current should be treated as
one drowned. An American who
reaped the benefit of the French
mans idea and who, so far as
heard from, is the only person out
side of Paris to be treated in the
manner suggested by M. D'Arson-
val, is Mr.. James E. Cutler, super
intendent of the testing depot OF
the Stanley Electrical Manufacture
ing company of Pittsfield. On Oc-
tober %, Mr.. Gu tier, while at work,
took hold Of two terminals carry
ing the high pressure Of 1900 volts
and was Immediately completely
Frustrated. Mr.. Charles Price,
editor of the Electrical Review,
of this city, has received from Mr..
| Cutler letter in which the in
jured man describes his sensations.
81 was examining a transformer
which carried a current of 1900
VOLTS" Mr.. Cutler says, Sand in
moving about the wires got in my
way and l took hold of them and
received shock through my en-
tire body. For brief instant
there was a sensation as Ii l were
being drawn downward by the
arms. Then everything became a
blank. In this condition L re-
manned for seven minutes. The at
tendants tell me that during this
period efforts were made to restore
respiration after the manner re-
commended by D'Arsonval, that is,
by working the arms and dia-
phragm to the time OF natural
breathing. For seven minutes
there was no sign OF pulse beat and
every indication OF death. Then
slowly / began to return to con-
seriousness and to repeat incoherent
remarks about the accident. When
/ first opened my eyes all | could
see was a huge black spot, which
soon began to diminish and finally
disappeared. Half an hour after
wards l could recall every incident
before and after the seven minute
interval, which was a total and
painless blank.
"The accident occurred about 10
o'clock in the morning. For the
balance of the day kept quiet but
on the following day l was around
as usual. | have experienced no
ill effects, other than the scars
from the burns, one of which Went

The success of the Jockey club
suggests greater possibilities for
the future. A derby track, and
this city as one of the great racing
points Of the United States.
Our wealthy men should not do
things by halves, or expect the
general public to put up all the
money,-it will pay them to bring
San Antonio to the front in big
shape.
The people will back them; the
multitude will be with them, and
by their numbers and small coin
make any undertaking a success.
Our capitalists must grow to meet
the generosity of the time.
How can this be done is the
uuestion--our water courses are not
sufficient-artesian wells hold out
the best hope for realizing the irri-
cation problem.
Our beautiful weather is fine for
visitors, splendid for all kinds of
fetes, but discouraging to the peo-
pie in the country who want rain
and plenty of it. The irrigation
convention that meets in our city
Dec. 4th should interest every
progressive citizen.
Could we turn the thousands Of
acres of rich lands adjacent to our
city into irrigable farms, there is
no telling the extent of the pros
perity that would come to us. Our
people would become the wealth.
est community in the United
States-San Antonio great city.
When once we have thousands Of
acres under irrigation-when arti-
ficial lakes dot the landscape, we
will find the windows OF heaven
opened, and our seasons excelling
the most blessed regions Of the
continent.

4 Lazy King.

George " was a mere puppet of a
king. His servants came in to open his
window curtains at 6 or 7 in the morn
ing. He breakfasted in bed, read the
morning newspapers through, transact
ed what business was brought to him
and then took a long doze Of three or
four hours. At 6 in the afternoon he
rose, dressed for dinner and returned to
bed again between 10 and II.
Being unable to sleep much, he found
pleasure in ringing for the servants,
ringing his bell forty times a night. II
he wished to know the hour, instead OF
looking at his watch he rung for a serV'
ant. If he wished a glass of water, in
stead Of reaching his hand for it, he
rung again for a servant.-New YORK

ONE u THE FIRST PIANOS MADE
fnterest;n% History of an Old Musical In
strr-lent That Has Travelled.

interesting History of an Old Musical In
stl1-nent That Has Travelled.
In a music store on Third street, be-
tween Marion and Columbia, there is an
old piano which attracts much attention.
The old musical instrument is of the
upright style and is in a fair state of
preservation, though it is nearly one hun
dred years Did. It has a keyboard with
white keys for the regular notes, and
black keys for the sharps and fats, just
like the pianos of today. These, when
deity touched, Gauss the ancient instru-
ment to discourse most e~loquently.
No one could tell its great age by hear
ing it played on. It's tones are still har-
monious and t~uneful, though, Of course,
it cannot be compared with the best
pianos of today, when volume or modula-
ton Of tone is considered. It's front is
ornamental with wooden scrollwork,
behind which is q crimson cloth of fine
texture. The frame on which the strings
are stretched is Of wood, while the frame
of the modern piano is of iron. The
double row of keys is followed to this
day, and the interior construction is
much the same as in vogue at present.

is in such a good state Of preservation is
a high tribute to the old time piano
makers. They built their instruments to
last. This is said not to be the case with
many of the present piano manufacturers.
The superannuated instrument has an
interesting history. The Nineteenth
Century had counted off but three years
when it was bought by an English gen.
tleman for his family Of the makers, j.
& J. Hopkinson, of Regent street, Lon
don. 1t was made IN the year 1902 and
sold in 1903. 1t passed as an heirloom
from one member Of the family to an
other until it came into the possession Of
a branch that left London for America
in the year 1854. The voyage was made
in the celebrated ship Robert Lowe.
During the voyage a heavy gale was en-
countered, and the piano was washed
overheard with other things, but was
finally fshed out of the briny ocean,.
The family that brought the instru-
ment to America settled at Victoria, B.
c., and they passed away one by one
until only two sisters were left. Finally
one of these died and the other became
insane with grief. Then it became nee
essary to administer on the estate Of the
sisters, and the piano was sold by order
of the probate court. The instrument
then fell into the hands of a gentleman
named johnson, who resided in Victo-
ria.
In 1859 Nj. johnson sold the instru-
ment to a gentleman who had it in bis
possession for the past twenty-five years.
During that period it has been at Port
Ludlow, Olympia, WILDLY Island and
Seattle. Once it was in a fire, in which
$4,000 damage was done, and it was
saved. 1t was moved from Seattle ia
Victoria twice. Finally the last owner
traded it off for an instrument of mod
ern make, giving good boot.-Seattle
