The following details of recent cleo
trio accident are interesting, and may
be useful. November 20 an electrical
engineer was standing on a chair ready
TO move a reversing switch on the arc
lamp side OF a rectif'cr for lighting
series of 90 lamps 5000 voits). He
casually placed his hand on the metal
cover Of an ampleter (Which was in
series with another G0-lamp circuitl,
and, turning TO the left and leaning
back 70 make an observation (stili
standing ON the chair). he placed his
left hand on an iron pillar. Now. the
ammeter case proved to be in metallic
contact (accidentaD with the light
leads, and as the return wire YVES
''e2rthed" there played through the
body from hand To hand a current un-
der pressure OF (normally) 1000 volts.
AS matter of fact, the electro-motive
force tested between the points of con-
tact by Kelvin electrostaticvol meter
proved to DO ., SEQ volts.
He says that the first thing he realized
was that he found himself standing on
the floor, but has no clear idea as 10

the elbow was absolutely lost, but the
arm at the shoulder could be moved
from the side. The pulsaticns, al
though still retaining their periodicity.
soon became less violent. and motor
power returned successfully in the
muscles that move the elbow, wrist and
fingers. In three minutes he felt none
the worse" There was no sensation Of
burning at the moment, but ten min

full, and examination showed a burn on
the tip OF the left middle and ring

her babyhood she had every oriental
luxury which a Celestial baby could
possibly cry for Her grandfather was
a mandarin of power and wealth, who
late in his life became converted to
Christianity and brought his grand
child up in that faith.
When she was old enough little HUI
King was sent away to a boarding
school, but she never seemed to take
any interest in smuggling caramels,
going to matinees and other courses
which school girls take. Instead, she
prowled around in the dispensary con-
nected with the institution, learning all
she could about medicines and drugs.
So marked was her thirst for medical
lore that her father decided to make
a physician out of her.
After bitter opposition on the part of
all her relatives, who said they would
rather see her dead than a doctor, or
whatever the title is in Chinese, HUI
King came across the seas to this coun-
try. She matriculated at the Ohio Wes-
leyan University and after four years
of hard, persevering work, was gradu-
ated with the degree of master of arts.
From Ohio she went to Philadelphia,
where she took three years course in
the Woman's Medical College and a
postgraduate course in the Philadel-
phia Polytechnic, from both of which in
situations she received degrees. Then
followed several months of practical
work in the Woman's Hospital in Bos-
ton, and DIR. HUI, fully equipped, as
sumed charge of the SiangHu Hospit-
al.
Her success has been remarkable.
One instance is related of a coolie
wheeling his blind mother 1000 miles
in a wheel barrow to consult the wo-
man doctor A double cataract oper-
alton and the woman was made to see.
The only son of wealthy mandarin
was dumb from his birth, and so of no
disqualified to worship be-
fore the names of his ancestors. The
tied tongue was at once relieved, and
| the dumb was made to talk.

gates to the Woman's Congress to be
held in London next year.

MORE "CHINA CASE"
G. w. Macfarlane Appeals From
Stamp Charges.

, When the China arrived George w.
Macfarlane presented, to the Registrar
of Public Accounts bill of sale and re-
quested the Registrar to assess the
duty payable on it. The Registrar re-
ferred the matter to the Minister of
Finance, who assessed the duty at 81,
600, the stamp duty payable on valu-
alton of the steamship of 100000.
Mr.. Macfarlane appealed from the
assessment and made deposit with the
Minister for costs of appeal to the Su-
preme Court Yesterday the Minister
of Finance reported the matter to the
Supreme Court and made the plead
ings, exhibits and testimony in the
mandamus suit brought by the appel
liant against the Collector of Customs a
part of the case. 1t has been agreed
that the case may be heard either in
vacation or term time.

Seeing God,

Opening our eyes and minds and
hearts, we find God everywhere in ma
lure, in life, in all beauty. in all his
Iory. We see Him in the slow. ma
lestice processes OF creation; we see
aim In the reaches OF terrible power I'M
me universe; we see Him In the inn
mense revolutions of the stars. and in
Inc wonderful structure of the little in
sect, just perceptlble to the most pow
eriul microscope, on the leaf of the
little plant; we see Him In the long
years which, in the geological ages,
preceded the formation of the earth.
Everywhere that divine power is
working around us. We see 1t in all
the beauty which is manifested in the
mountains, clouds, and seas, and
brooks, and sunrise; in all the history
Oh the human race; in childhood. and
youth, and society; in business, in
pain, and in Joy; in all the riches OF
the world; because in all OF them there
ls some manifestation OF the divine
truth and love and he has left no race
ana no family of mankind orphans,
wthout some knowledge OF Himself.
And In the soul. in the distinction be-
tween right and wrong born in US all,
In the vast idea Of cause by which we
go backward to the beginning Of the
universe, and in the great conception
OF the infinite by which we, little crea-

able to reach out beyond all knowl-
edge and all understanding, and grasp
the eternal,-in all these we find Him.

Liquor In Alaska.

The territory OF Alaska affords a
striking example of the Inconsistencies
Of federal law concerning the liquor
traffic. The United States government
prohibits the importation and sale OF
intoxicants in that part of its domain,
except for use as medicine, yet at the
same time 1t is violating It's own laws
by issuing internal revenue licenses in
Alaska, and thus becoming a partner
in the drink business. Thousands Of
gallons of alcoholic liquors are being
sent to Alaska each week, large part
Of which is shipped to the Klondike.
Saloons are running wide open, and
liquor Is being sold to Indians as well
as to whites. The poorest kind OF
whisky, 1t is said, retails readily at
three dollars a bottle. When Uncle
Sam himself manifests such soant re-
spect for law, it is time for the more
level-headed among his nephews and
nieces to come to the rescue of the
nations dignity and good name.
