Death by Electricity.

Scientists think that death by cleo
tricity or lightning is painless. They
do not know that it is SO, but infer that
it is from .hese facts:
The nerves communicate the sensa-
ton Of pain by their vibrations or
movements, which are at the rate Of %
feet per second. Electricity moves in a
copper wire at the rate Of ass, 900 miles
per second. Hence it is probable that u
strong current Of electricity kills man
before his nerves can make him con-
scions of the shock.
