In spite of all that has been said TO the

Flats as a result of the discovery of
smallpox In that building. As told in The
Times this morning. Ethel Petit, a SER
want of the Alexander family, was found

Alexander is immune from the disease

sentative however, has never had small
poX, and as a consequence viii be con-
fined TO his rooms for period of sixteen
days.
In some of the small towns in New York
State smallpox is said to be very prevalent,
and the residents of the places have become
so used TO it that they do not take the or
binary precautions. The servant was eX-
posed to the disease in this manner, and it

communication being through a public hall.

tive and the room in which the servant
sleeps, on the floor above the household TO
which she was attached. are the only ones
that will be closed
The remainder OF the building viii be
thoroughly disinfected and the people llY-
ing in the place will be examined. The
disinfection commenced last night and
will be completed tonight

patient was removed to the hospital.
The sick woman has been in the AleNan-
der family for some time. il is said. and
was brought to this city from Buffalo.
She was very highly spoken OF by her en-
ployers. and whenever they visited their
home she Was taken with them.

today that a number Of them had hastily

port could not be verified this morning.

Indians who could speak but a few words

HOW ELECTRICITY KILLS.
Its Action on the Henrt. Lungs. and
Nerves.
Frnm the New York Trihyme)

(From the New York Trihymee
Although with the increasing use Of
electricity for power, lighting and chemi-
cal purposes the world sees increased pre-
caution against accident, there are occd-
sional exceptions TO the general rule Of
safety. and the question how powerful
electric current acts on a human being IS
therefore matter Of vital interest.
Dr. H H. Cunningham, who has given
this subject a good deal OF study within
the last five years. TeCCunts in che EleC-
trical World experiments which he has
made on some OF the lower animals. These
tests lead him to believe that the first
and most immediate effect Of powerful
shock is 10 interrupt the heart beat 1t
does so by impairing the automatic ten
dency Of the muscles to contract rhythm
cally and in unison. An effect known 10
physiologists as '''fbrillation is produced
That is 10 say, the separate fibres of mus
Gle that should act together fail 10 haT-
monte. and thus neutralize one another
One result of this quasi paralysis Is that
the cells at the chief nervous centres,
where sense and will reside, lose the nour-
ishment which the blood supplies and on
which they rely for life. Thus robbed,
they rapidly die. Furthermore. the electric
current often checks respiration. If the
volume is small and the potential Tor
electric pressurel light, this effect is only
family observed. But stronger currents,
especially if prolonged, interrupt breath
ing more positively and thus lead to as
phyxia. Commissions are frequently an at
tendant symptom.
The revival of an animal that had seem
ingly been killed was effected by DR. Cum
ningham in the following manner: He
aimed to restore the activity of the heart
by two agencies; he injected .intorthe ar
teries what is called "defibrinated blood
and at the same time gently stimulated
the organ with electricity. So much la
boratory preparation would be required to
repeat this procedure in the case of a man
that it could hardly be employed effective
ly in cases of pure accident. unless the
necessary means were close at hand in
consequence of unusual forethought 1t
is doubtful whether central light or pow
er station will ever be equipped with these
facilities for restoring injured men, and
1t would probably take too long to carry
one who had received an apparently fatal
dose of electricity to the nearest doctor.

There are several fictions which have

minds that the power of the press has
never been able to completely eradicate
them. One is that ]. Wilkes Booth is still
alive and in concealment in Alexandria
Va. or on some lonely island in the South
Pacific Another. that Barbara Frietchie put
her head out of a window in Frederick
Md, and waved an American flag at the
Confederate army which was passing
through, and that Stonewall Jackson melo-
dramatically threatened to shoot any man
who interfered with the composure of her
gray hairs. Another, that the gallant and
historic General Sheridan actually rode
twenty miles in a gallop from Winchester
as proved by the possession by Phfladel-
phia mans heirs of the saddle and bride
with which "Rienzi' was caparisoned on
the occasion. Another, that there was a
