Galvani showed that the nerves could be
traverscd and the muscles contracted by
current of voltac or of high. tension cleo
tricity, and many later investigators con-
flrmed his statements, while still others
have shown that currents actually traverse
the muscular and nerve tissues which
originate in tho body, and which, reversing
Galvanis experiment, reveal their nature
by all the tests familiar to the physicist rs
detecting tho presence and measuring the
action of electric currents from artificial
sources. The potentialties of the animal
machine are developed in this direction
most strilzingly in tho gymnotus and many
other creatures, in which the currents are
produced in great power and intensity and
directed at will in the capture Of their prey
Or in self defense, sometimes disabling q
man or telling an OK by their powerful dis
charges The fact of the transformation OF
energy is well illustrated in these cases by
the exhaustion of the creature when 1t has
continued this discharge of electrical ener-
gy short time. To this extent certainly.
these animals arc clootro-dynamic ma
chimes. The electric col and the torpedo
arc but the two best known of about Do
such elcctro-dynamic animal machines al
ready discovered, and it is thought by some
authorities that all animals possess this
power of producing and applying electric
energy in less degree. Faraday found that
the gymnotus, the electric eel, has stor-
ago power equal to that of Is large Leyden
Jars. 1t is probably well established that
every muscle and nerve Of every animal is
trayersed by energy closely related to the
electric current, and Daguin calls this

cases. incontestablo evidence. know as
O fact that injured citizens, whose interests
are represented by claims, have supposed
that Mr.. Olney was doing everything in
his power to secure an indemnity for their
losses. The truth Is that, with unimpor-
tant exceptions, Mr.. Olney has simply
notified the Spanish government that such
claims have been filed at Washington.
But his view is that Spain cannot be held
responsible for property destroyed by the
insurgUnt armies.
I'm other words, Clevcland's admins
tration declines to recognize the independ-
ence of the Cuban government or the bel
ligerency of its arms, and at the same time
calmly absolves Spain from all RESPONSE
billty for the protection Of American prop
erty in the island.
"rhere is q spectacle for the ediflcGtion
of tho American people. The Spanish
press and public laugh and sneer at con-
gress and eulogtze the president and the
secretary of state who plot secretly with
the Spanish minister at Washington
against the brave people struggling for
their liberty almost within sight OF the
American coast,
minister Taylor plays no part In the
main diplomatic transactions of the two
governments. De LONE has fooled every
body in Washington, and is playing for
delay. At this moment tho purpose of
Spain seems to be to arrange some agree
ment with Cleveland and Olney which
will commit McKinley's administration
in advance to an attitude hostile to Cuba !"
Mr.. Creelman then refers to ''the mock
scheme of reform" promised by Spain, and
In conclusion declares that recognition OF
Cuba by this country would speedily end
the struggle in favor of Cuba.

Denouncing Cecil Rhodes.

PRETORIA, Transvanl, Jan, 2.-Upon the
occasion of the New Years we'll wishers
calling at the presidency to offer Presi-
dent Kruger their congratulations, Judge
Jorrson made speech, in the course of
which he said that the gratitude which
his countrymen felt at the deliyerance
from the attack upon the Independence of
the country was mingled with fears for
the future. He proceeded to mplain bit
terly that the republic had been insulted
by the ovations accorded in Cape Colony
to Cecil Rhodes who, said the speaker,
twas undoubtedly the chief criminal in
the despicablo assault upon our country.
This is an insult to you, to us and to the
whole republic" Cecil Rhodes has been
welcomed with unboundod enthusiasm at
Cape Town where 5000 persons Joined in
singing God Save the Queen" A gigan-
tic banquet in honor of Rhodes has been
fixed for next Tuesday.

Burke has credit for political prophecy.
No great foresight was required to surmise
that anarchy would end in military despot-
ism. The example Of Cromwell was sug-
gestiye Burke fancied at one time that
the military power of France would de-
part. He fancied that the departments
would become so many separate republics
and throw off the yoke of tho central gov
eminent He fancied that there would be
a domination of bankers. The sphere in
which he is a real prophet is not the polit-
ical, but the ethical. He did discern moral
tendencies and consequences discernible
by no ordinary eye. In a passage Of his
letters he traces with admirable skill and
truth the connection between the loose
sentimentality of Rousseauism and the In
diligence of murderous passions in the
reign Of terror
That Burke, when he wrote the ''Reflec.
lions on the French Revolution, though
the victim of temporary frenzy, was in
no other sense mad is proved if proof were
needed, by tho appearance two years after
of the letter to Sir Hercules Langrishe on
the removal Of the disabilities of Irish
Catholics, production as sane, as liberal
and as wise as anything no ever wrote.
His conduct in championing the Catholic
claims was the more chivalrous because
his Catholic connection had through life
exposed him to calumny and suspicion.
There is some reason for believing that his
arguments at the time made favorable
impression upon George III, whose mind
perhaps was opened to them by his ALI
ance with Catholic monarchios against the
atheist republic. In tho end other innu-
ences unhappily prevailed, and the country
rues at the present hour tho rejection OF
Burke's policy of Catholic emancipation

From Their Point of View

There's a good bit in being educated
up to thing after all. Whore DO ye
goin to hang tho little bats, ma'am?' ask
ed a maid of her mistress during post
housecleaning Encouragement of pictures
and furniture the other day, And upon
inquiry "the little bats" proved to be
nothing more or loss than Raphael's Sis
tine Madonna cherubs. 1t was another
maid who always referred to her mistress
cherished cast Of tho Parthonon's "Three
Fates" as "them dogs" "Well, don't
wonder, " remarked the small boy of the
family upon learning Of the misnomer.
"Smashcd up old thing like that, that you
can make head or tail of! Idon't see how
you can tell what they are yourself, auntie. !"
An irreverent man in the Louvre supplied
the very tasscl to tho cap of the climax Of
this sort of thing. 1t was in that Mecca Of
all art lovers the world over, the alcove
sacred to the Venus of Milo, and every
body was attitudnizing in worshipful
way that is somehow inevitable to tho spot.
The man walked brislIly in, at ono sweep
ing glance "took in'-as he would have
said-tho statue and the everyhodies and
