The Horse and Electric Shocks.

Everybody knows that the horse is
easily killed by electricity, and it is
popularity supposed that the current.
on entering the body meets with some
anatomical popularity or physiological
susceptibility" that makes the horse
more vulnerable than other animals to
the action of such a current The Ian
Get holds that there is no good grounds
for this assumption. The explanation
lies elsewhere. The hoof, and more
particularly its crust and sole, is a good
insulator, but the shoe presents to the
ground a large metallic contact, and
this contact is in connection with me-
tallic conductors in the shape of nails
which pierce the strongest part of the
insulation, and affords an easy electri-
cal path into the body. The contact
with earth is further improved by the
great superintendent weight Of the
animal, and it may often happen that
in passing over wet ground, the exter-
nal surface Of the hoof and the wet fet-
lock, especially in the case Of untrim-
med horses, may become sufficiently
wet to form good surface conductor
and so carry current directly from the
earth to the upper part Of the body.
In this way, the safety Of the natural
resistance" of the hoof is neutralized
A horse, too, covers more ground than
a man, and runs greater risk from be-
ing in contact with points of ground
further apart

ILL LUCK OF THE OPAL.
1t Sometimes Works Both ways Ac-
cording to the Experience of jew
elers.

1t Sometimes Works Both Ways Ac-
cording to the Experience of jew
elcrs.
In speaking upon the subject Of The
common superstition that i'll luck is
sure to follow the owner of tn opal, a
New York jeweler said to a Sun report
er the other day:
Il could tell you good many stories
upon this subject, and not all Of tle1|
would be in support of the general be-
lief either. Of course women arc the
firmest believers in the superstition at
tached to this stone, and that Sex fig
ures in nearly all the cases that have
come under my observation. A lady
will conc into my place, produce ring
or pin containing an opal, and ask me
what will give her in exchange for 1t.
l examine it carefully tell her what it
is worth, and allow her to select any
thing of equal value from my stock
After the exchange is made the woman
will give sigh Of relief, and prepare
myself to hear her tale Of woe. Every
thing has gone wrong with her since
the fatal hour when that breeder of
misfortune came into her possession.
Even the most tritiing misfortunes are
charged to the opal. Sometimes. how
ever, the story is quite the other way.
About six months ago middle aged
lady OF marked intelligence and refine
ment brought me perfect gem of an
opal set in a pin, and desired to eX-
change it for diamond pin. She said
the opal had been presented to her by
her father as birthday gift, and she
hated=to part with it, but her husband
and daughter had worried so much over
the fatality they were sure would hap
pen If she retained it that she had final
ly concluded to yield to their fears and
get rid of the stone. She selected a
diamond pin in exchange for the opal
and went away. About Il week ago she
came back again, recalled the transac-
ton to my mind, and anXiously inquir-
ed if l still had the opal I told her
that it had been sold. Her disappoint-
ment was great, and she kept my at,
tention for nearly half an hour, telling
me about the things that had happened
to her since she parted with her opal
pin. Her Prince Charles spaniel had
died; one of her handsomest vases had
been unaccountably broken into thou
sand pieces; the moths had made sad
ravages among her furs; her bank stock
had ceased to bring her any returns in
the form of dividends; trusted maid
had gone off without the Formally Of
saying good-by, taking with her some Of
her mistress choicest jewels, and many
other dire things had occurred, all Of
which she was sure We're due to the
fact that she had parted with the opal.
She made me promise to look up the
purchaser of her pin, and said that she
would pay double it's value to regain
possession Of it. So it seems that the
superstition about the opal is capable of
being worked in either way, according
to the fancy of the owner

DOES 1T WORK QUICKLY.

The Terrible Celebrity with Which
the Guillotine Takes Human Life.
The striking thing about the execution
of Valiant was the appalling qulckness
OF 1t all. Action was so rapid, says a
writer in the New York World, from
the instant he appeared in the door
way OF The prison to the moment the
knife fell that it was almost impossible
to distinguish the slight chain Of Incl
dents. He flung himself eagerly against
the plank, was strapped to it and in the
flash of Il glance the plank was pushed
forward on the platform of the guillo-
tine. An instant's vision Of a recum-
bent figure, face downward; in the
same moment head. with two staring,
wide open eyes, whirled almost def
ant!y. rs it seemed. and with Il slight
zigzag movement, to the rightward,
while simultaneously the pinioncd body
rolled inert. convulsivc, into the capa-
cious basket, also ut the right-hand side
OF the guillotine. The swiftness, the
L echanical promptness of the business
fairly stupetied the spectator. 1t was
impossible to realize that human life
had ended in less time than it would
take to draw full breath. The gull
lotine had done its work well. There
was scarcely sense of horror in the
sight. Twelty-four hours later no one
could have associated Paris with per-
haps the most impressive vengeance
society has ever taken upon the re-
volt. The Mardi Glas festival was be-
ing kept us no Mardi Gras known since
