The Cause 81 Death in Electric
Shock.

SnOCk.
The theory Of the dislntegrating eff
feet Of the electric current upon brain
and nerve tissues In persons electro
cuted has been controverted by DR.. A.
NJ. Belle. DR.. Belle holds that death
in electric shock is entirely owing to
the contraction of the arteries pro-
duced by the current through its in
huence on the system. The
effect of this construction is that the
heart fails in it's attempt to overcome
the mechanical impeachment arising
from the greatly retarded flow Of
blood. In the course of investiga-
tons on this subject, it has been
found that where drugs have been
given to counteract the constructive
effect of the current much larger doses
of electricity than the ordinary a be
borne. This fact cannot but have Il
bearing upon the much disputed ques-
ton Of resuscitation after electrocu-
ton. Notwithstanding the apparently
conclusive testimony which has been
given on this subject it is still be-
lieved by some medical experts that
given a criminal who has had an ex-
ceptional capacity for resisting the
electric shOck-and this capacity va
ries In every one-and his power of re-
sistance be still further increased by
a dose of the drug mentioned, the eff
feet of the ~electrocuting current would
be so far modified rs to make it pos
sible to resuscitate the body after the
execution, even though signs of ap-
parent death were exhibited.

A Fire Curtain of Water for Protect
ing Buildings.

An effective device for the protec-
ton of buildings from fires in ada
cent structures has been successfully
tested In Boston. The idea worked out
In the apparatus is to maintain a sheet
Of water between the fire and the
buildings to be protected. This is done
by placing on every open side of the
building neal the top a line of per-
fOrated piping for carrying the water.
The complete apparatus consists of a
5-inch s%tandpipe, extending over the
upper story. From it runs another
pipe around the sides and front, from
2h to 4 inches in diameter. On the
front are three revolving sprinklers,
and n Is placed at each exposed
side, in the center. The arms are Of
bronze metal, slightly curved. At each
end of the arms is a ball nozzle, such
as Is used by fire departments On reg
ular hose lines, At the base Of the
stand-pipe is a Siamese connection for
four lines of 3-inch hose. At the Bos-
ton test a fire department steamer
furnished the power, and for about
fifteen minutes poured through the
sprinklers a delivery of 1000 gallons
a minute, completely d%renching tho
walls, and keeping n continuous sheet
of water from top to bottom.

Tho HiHNHlA Hmm

An i~ncalculable amount of comfort
has been scattered far and wide by the
statement of an old wheelman in a
bicycle journal that, as a matter Of
fact, the nal who bends over his
wheel is not bumped" but the man
who undertakes to sit up straight Is
round -shOuldered. He adds: "Watch
a rider coming head on, and you will
think the one leaning over the bar Is
dumped" while the other class ap-
pears straight. But when they pass
and you get the rear view, you find
the back of the stopped fellow is
straight, the bend being ut the hips,
the shoulders being pushed back
square by the weight resting on tho
riders hand from the top of the bar.
The rider who tries to sit straight
reaches under thegrips,and by pulling
draws his shoulders together, cramp-
ing his chest. Look for yourselves,
and you will be surprised"

FORTY YEARS AFTER.

We climbed to the top of Goat Point
Hill,
Sweet Kitty, my sweetheart, and /,
And we watched the moo make stars
on the waves
And the dim white ships go by;
While a throne we made on a rough
stone wall,
And a King and Queen were we,
And / sat with my arm about Kitty
And she with her arm about me.
The water vas mad in the moonlight,
And the sand like gold where it
shone,
And our hearts kept time to the music
AS we sat in that splendor alone.
And Kitty's dear eyes twinkled
brightly,
While l sat with my arm about Kitty
And she with her arm about me.
Last night we drove in our carriage,
To the wall at the top of the hill,
And though we're forty years older,
We're children and sweethearts still.
| And we talked again of that moonlight
That danced so mad on the sea,
When l sat with arm about Kitty
And she with her arm about me.
The throne on the wall was still stand
ing,
But we sat in the carriage last night
Flo a wall is too high for old people
Whose foreheads have Innings Of
white,
And Kitty's waist measure is forty,
While mine is full fifty and three,
So l can't get my arm about Kitty,
Nor can she get both her about mo.

Frustrated by sunstroke during the wal

serious consequences. At present writ
ing Mr.. E. is a prominent officer of Post
Lyon, G. A. r.. Cohoes, and a past aid
oe-camp on the staff of the commander
in-chief Of Albany Co. In an interview
with a reporter. he said:

When l reached Washington I was in

days while in the hospital. An abscess

been gathering Inc breaking ever since.
The result of this 100 mile ride and sun
stroke. was, heart disease, ervou pros

me no rest night or day. AS a last re-
sort / took some Pink Pills and the

though 1t would burst and my once shat
tered ervou system Is now nearly
sound. Look at those fingers" Mr.. Ed
wards said. do they look as IL there
was any rheumatism there?" He moved
his fingers rapidly and freely and strobe
about the room like a young boy. "A
year & those fingers were gnarled at
the joints and so stiff that ! could not
hold a pen. My knees would swell up
and / could not straighten my leg out.
My joints o squeak when / moved.
II cannot begin to tell you,' said
Mr.. Edwards, as he drew a long
breath. what my feeling Is at pres
ent. I think IL you lifted ten years
right off my life and left me prime
and vigorous at forty-seven I could
feel no better. 1 was an old man
and could only drag myself painfully
about the house. Now 1 "a walk off
without any trouble. That in itself"
continued Mr.. Edwards, would be suf1-
cient to give me cause for rejoicing, but
when you come to consider that I am no
longer what you might, call we and
that my heart Is apparently nearly
healthy and that l can sleep nights you
may realize why l may appear to speak
in extravagant praise of Pink Pills.
These pills quiet my nerves, take that
awful pressure from my head and at
the same time enrich my blood. There
seemed to be no circulation in my lower
limbs a year ago. my legs being cold and
clammy at times. Now the circulation
there is as full and as brisk as at any
other part of my body. I used to be Sc
light-headed and dizzy from my nervous
disorder that I frequently fell while
crossing the DOR Of my house. Spring

Electrical Mining.

An electrical journal has published
a most suggestive picture of mining
life In South America, which illus
trates not only how electricity is revo-
lutionizing the mining industry, by
making it possible to work valuable
lodes in almost inaccessible places,
where formerly the cost of operation
would be pronounced prohibitive, but
also the extraordinary mildness of the
mountain regions in some countries
near the equator. The picture shows
the top of the shaft In a copper mine
In u valley on a lofty mountain range.
The work is going on briskly, al
though the generator which supplies
the motive power is many miles away.
But the singular point in the scene
is that the motors, machinery, and
transformers are all out in the open
air, entirely unprotected from the ele-
ments, as rain Is almost unknown in
the region.

The Speed of Electricity.

The speed of electricity under the
most favorable conditions is now es-
tablished to be 10000 miles a second.
What this enormous speed implies is
somewhat dimly suggested by an il
lustratiOn recently used by the eminent
scientist, Sir Robert Bell. Suppose
that a row Of telegraph posts $4,000
miles long we're erected around the
earth at the equator. Suppose that a
wire were stretched upon these posts
for this circuit of 25,OO0 miles, and
that then another complete circuit was
taken by the same wire around the
same posts, and then another, and yet
another. In fact, let the wire be
wound nc fewer than seven times
completely about this great globe.
We should then find that an electric
signal sent into the wire at one end
would accomplish the circuit in one
second of time.

Electric Light and Candles.

The Russians will not allow gas or
electric lights in their splendid
churches, but by the use of thousands
of candles produce a most brilliant
yet agreeable light. Prof. Crookes,
the scientist, says that "if the electric
light were universal to-day, the can
die if suddenly introduced, would be
thought a wonderful invention, as it
enables a person to obtain light in it's
simplest and most portable form, and
without the use Of cumbrous machin-
cry or the necessity of attaching a
lamp to any fixed point by meal OF
wire before it could be lighted" The
desired portable electric light has not
yet arrived. An inventor Of our ac-
quaintance has long been experiment
ing upon it, but has not yet reduced
it's weight below 20 pounds. The tri-
butte to the best sperm candle is de-
served. The softness and clearness of
the light are delightful to the eye.
The candies dignity, like that of the
horse, remains; for as the mightiest
steam and electric engines are esti-
mated in horsepower" so the unit
of measurement for gas lights, the
powerful Welsbach light and the cleo
trio light is "candle-power."-New
York Christian Advocate.

Electric Power n SaIabIc Commo o

dfty.
An incident is reported from Ma
CARA Falls whichillustrates the readi-
ness of manufacturers to utilize cleo
trio power. 1t has been generally ex-
pected that Buffalo would be a larger
user Of the electric power generated
by the Cataract Company at Niagara
Falls. Considerable delay has taken
place between the negotiations be-
tween the city and the company for
the power, and in the meantime an
other customer has arisen. According
to a Buffalo poper, "while Buffalo Is
dickering for Niagara Falls power and
talking about impossible restrictions.
Depew has made a bit for 1t, and liter
ally goes half way to get 1t. In all
probably Depew will get the power
before Buffalo does" AS a matter Of
fact, Depew, a growing town, eight
miles from Buffalo, actually stepped in
and pre-emptied a large amount of the
power for which Buffalo was some
what too complacently bargaining.
The town has large locomotive shops
coupler works, ETC., and in the acqui-
sitiOn of the new power it has made
a big bid for prosperity.
