A singular alleged discovery regarding

In The Arena, is that IL carries with 1T
the potontiality OF everything through
which 1t passes, and consequently that
any number OF patients can be medicated
in succession or simultaneously DO given
of medicine without particle being lost,
us it is solidly incoscd. MY usual method
Of demonstrating thls,n he writes, sis to
place u sufficient quantity Of medicine In
n medical eleotrode tightly closed, and send
an electric current through 1t, which, on
toring by ono wire and leaving by another
passes through group of students, who
have Joined hands, to tho negative pole.
In u few minutes they recognize the char
actcristlc medical Influence, some very
promptly, some more slowly mot know
Ing what 1t Isl. think 1t probable that
with continuous wire and sufficient
electro motive force a medical dose might
be sent from San Francisco to New York.
Certainly II would be- practicable in hos
pital to send dose by wire from tho lab
oratory to patient in any part OF the
building, and evon, In properly arranged
bed, to havo the patient under tho intlu-
ence OF any current prescribed without
even knowing It,"

Some years ago an Englishman was
coming down tho river Milo, in Egypt, oil
large boat loaded with grain, and the
birds came off from every village and ate
tho grain piled on tho deck. Tho Eng
lishman asked tho Egyptian captain OF tho
boat, who owns this grainf' Tho
Egyptian captain said, II own it," Then
the Englishman asked why he let the birds
eat up the grain. Tho Egyptian asked
tho Englishman, "Who made tho blrdss"'
The Englishman answered, God" Tho
Egyptian asked whether grain was food
which God intended birds to cat. Tho
Englishman said it was, Tho Egyptian
said, Can the birds SOW and raise tho
grain for themselycsi" Tho Englishman
said, "They cannot" Then said tho
Egyptian: Lot them eat. God has pro.
