l stood upon the highest point Of thu
pyramid and held up my own fore,
finger in the air. There was a slight
hardly perceptibls prickling observa.
BILE on the skin Of the finger which was
opposed to the wind. I could only ex'
plain this fact, observed by all Of us
as an electrical phenomenon. and such
1t proved to be. When l held up a full
bottle Of wine, the top OF which was
covered with tinfoil, l heard the same
singing sound as when the finger was
held up. At the same time little sparks
sprang continually from the label to
my hand, and when l touched the head
Of the bottle with my other hand I re-
ceived a strong electric shock. 1t ID

SO strong that / could make use Of 1t ~
a very powerful weapon of defense.
After the Arabs had watched our
proceedings for a time with wonder,
they came to the conclusion that we
were engaged in sorcery, and requested
us to leave the pyramid. As their re-
marks, when interpreted to us, were
without effect, they wanted to use the
power Of the strongest to remove rs
from the top by violence. 1 Withdrew
to the highest point, and fully charged
my strengthened flask, when the Arab
leader caught hold OF my hand and
tried to drag me away from the posi-.
ton | had attained. At this critical mo-
ment l approached the top Of my flask
to within striking distance to the tip
Of his nose. which might be about ten
milllmeters. The action Of the dis
charge exceeded my utmost expecta-
ton. The son Of the desert, whose
nerves had never before received such
q shock, fell on the ground as though
struck by lightning, rushed away with
a loud howl. and vanished with a great
spring from II vicinity. followed BIZ
