phenomenon Of electrical discharge, the

priains: but II must lie stated that these
apparlions brought about In the man
ncr described, are not known, nor found
cd upon any known theory, and have
been demonstrated for the first time by
Won ludko.
But he goes even further. 1t has been
stated above that electrical discharges
from the human body are brought about
10y the touch OF a person not In the cir
cult. These discharges have now been
brought about by Won Jodto in another
way, IN manner which permits the
photographnE of the discharges The
photogra phnE of electrical discharges is
also moi new. but the photoara phs shown
by Herr Won Jodko are absolutely uni
que. and are as new as the theory which
he found upon The results achieved by
him. He calls his new process "Elcc-
typography" but according 10 his idea
the electrical discharges arc, so to
speak. a Photographic description OF the
condition of the human body
The pictures produced by Won Jodko
are very curious He first showed the
photograph Of the electrical discharges
of whole hand. At some points we
behold stronger and at others n weak
cr radiation OF the electrical sparks. Won
,Iodko thinks that the stronger radiation
indicates the healthy. the weaker radia-
ton tho sick, and the spaces without
any radiation paralyZcd parts of the
hand. He showed Il number of photo
graphic plates with very differently
shaped pictures of electrical DISCHARGES
The series represent the condition of ono
person, who advanced from state of
great fccbleness. from loss of blood
