UNUSED ELECTRIC POWER.
There is Considerable Waste, as Poo
pie Sometimes Find Out.

From the New YORK Tribune.
did you ever think" asked an observ-
ing man lately, chow much loose cleo
tricity there is around? 1t is brought to
my notice, especially, every time / have
occasion to ride in q trolley car on a
wet day / have frequently received a
singing shock by taking hold of the
brass rail as I swung myself aboard.
My feet were wet, you see, and water is
so good a conductor that a ground con-
nection is established with myself as part
of the circuit. The sensation is quite
enough to be disagreeable, 1 assure you.
THE metal doorsill, too, is another place
where the current leaks out Since i dis

they step over the wet threshold, we'll

power. Then the expression on their
faces is ludicrous Most Of them look com
pletely bewildered, if they didn't know
what had struck them, and ] suppose they
don't for the instant
"'rhose are not the only places where
there is free electricity, either; In my
own Office 7 can get as severe a shock as
l could from q battery. In one of the in
candescent light fixtures there is a spot
where the current escapes in great force.
BY touching this place with a key, a
knife or any bit of metal, and resting my
other hand on the iron Of the steam ra-
diator near by, i can take a shock of such
power as to burn my hand and make
me drop the experiment in a hurry The
other day half a dozen of US Joined hands
and formed line between the two places.
The man at one end held key to the
fixture, and the fellow at the other end
laid his hand on the radiator. You would
hardly believe how strong the current
was. Our hands seemed suddenly gripped
together, and, after we let go, our fingers
tingled for minutes from the effects

The Photography of Pictures on the
Living Eye.
From the New York sun.

From the New York Sun.
The idea that the last object seen by q
dying person forms a picture upon the ret.
ina which can be detected by an examlna-
ton after death. has more than once been
suggested in works of fiction as a method
by which the identity of a murderer could
be ascertained.
Whatever may be thought Of this notion,
q discovery Of extreme interest has re-
Gently been made in the science of pho
Biography which appears to leave no doubt
that pictures are formed on the retina of
the living eye, which can be photographed
from the eye after the object which
formed the picture has been removed from
view.
The experiments which have resulted in
this discovery were made by Mr.. w. Ingles
Rogers, an amateur Photographer, and are
briefly described in a recent number of
the English scientific journal Nature. The
subject of the first experiment was a shill-
ing piece. MIR Rogers looked at the shill-
ing for an entire minute. Then, having
shut out some of the daylight from the
room by means OF yellow screen, he
looked for forty-three minutes intently at
a Photographic plate, endeavorng during
this time to keep I'm mind the appearance
of the coin and think of nothing else. The
second experiment, made in the presence
of three other persons. was still more re-
naFkable in its result. postage stamp
was substituted for the shilling for the
subject of observation, and was looked at
for the same length of time-one minute.
IN this case the eXperimenter gazed at
the photograph plate for twenty minutes
only. There Is said to be an absence of
detail in the picture which was developed
from this plate but Nature declares that
sufficient was seen to prove beyond doubt
that the picture of an object impressed
upon the retina can send out vibrations
which will result in the production of an
image upon a sensitive plate"
This discovery is suggestive of the most
interesting possibilities in physiology and
Photography, and may well prove import
ant also in the domain of medical juris-
prudence.
