HOW ELECTRICITY KILLS.

IT'S ACTION ON THE HEART. LUNGS AND NERVES
although with the Increasing use of electricity
for power. lighting and chemical purposes the
world sees increased precaution against acci-
dent, there occasional exceptions to the
general rule of safety. and the question how a
powerful electric current acts on human being
is therefore a matter of vital interest.
DR.. r. Il. Cunningham, who has given this
subject good deal of study within the last five
years, recounts in The Electrical World" ex-
periments which he has made on some of the
lower animals These tests lead him to believe
that the first and most immediate effect of a
powerful shock is to interrupt the heart beat.
II does so by impalring the automatic tendency
of the muscles to contract rhythmfcally and in
unison. An effect known to psychologists as
fertilization" is produced. That is to say, the
separate fbres of muscle that should act to-
gether fail to harmOnize. and thus neutraze
one another. One result of this quasi-paraIys sis
is that the cells at the chief nervous centres,
where sense and will reside lose the nourish-
ment 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 COR electric pressure) light this eff
feet is only family observed. But stronger cur
rents, especially if prolonged. interrupt breath
ing more positively, and thus lead to asphyxia.
CCnvusiOns are frequently attendant symp-
tom.
The revival of animal that had seemingly
been killed was effected by DR.. Cunningham in
the following manner: He aimed to restore the
activity of the heart by two agencies he in
jected into the arteries what is called "detbri-
rated blood, and at the same time gently
stimulated the organ with electricity SO much
laboratory preparation would be required to re
peat this procedure in the of man that
it could hardly lie employed effectively 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 power station will ever be equipped
with these facilities for restoring injured men,
and it would probably take too long to carry
one who had received an apparently fatal dose
of electricity TO the nearest doctor.

Marquis 4 Huntly.
Lieut.. OystOn,
THE GORDON HIGHLANDERS
GLORY GAINED BY THE FAMOUS SCOT
TISH TROOPS ON BLOODY
BATTLEFIELDS.

The departure Of the Gordon Highlanders for
tbe seat Of war in South Africa was the occa-
sion of a demonstration on the part of the Eng
Iish people which showed that the deeds of war
which stand to the credit of the organization
are well remembered and that the regiment
takes high rank in the estimation of the nation.
II is not the first service in Africa for the
sturdy Highlanders. and their standard bears the
words: Nile 1884 49," 'ChitraI,' South
Africa" and "Tel-el- Kebir," along with "Eg-
mont-op-Zee." "Mandera," "Corunna,' 'Fuetes
dOner" "Almaras," ''Vittoria," Pyrenees,"
"Nive," "Orthes Peninsula" Waterloo" :"
Delhi" Lucknow" "Kabul," "Kandahar" and
"Afghanstan."
In lis early days the regiment known
the 92d. II was organized in 1874 by the Duke of
Gordon. who better known by the name of
Cock o. the North" The letter of service en-
powered the Duke TO raise regiment of in
fantry among his clansmen, and within a few
months after he began the task battalion of
over one thousand men had been enlisted.
The men were sent TO the Mediterranean dis
tr.cl but saw only garrison duty for five years
ard then received their baptism of fire at Eg

General Sir John Moore wounded at the

two G0rdons. When he recovered he asked for
the names Of the two brave soldiers and offered
d reward OF $40 to each of them. 1t was large
sum Of money for private soldier. but although
the order was read to the regiment at parade

CONSULAR REFORM.
SOME FEATURES OF THE NEW GERMAN
SYSTEM WHICH MAY WELL IN
TEREST AMERICAN READERS.

Although Germany possesses the best organ

world great is the Importance attached by
the Kaiser and his Government to this particu-
lar branch of the administration that. with
the object of increasing it's usefulness to the
trade and industry of the empire, it is about
TO be subjected to a very extensive reOrganiZa-
/ tiOn. The reforms determined upon of par
ticular interest at the present time, when both
in Great Britain and in the United States
movement is in progress looking to the intro
duction of changes in the consular corps.
There no cOnsuls in the world who are so
hard worked as those of Germany. They are
kept with their noses to the grindstone by con-
stant demands made upon them for information
from Berlin They expected to have their
eyes open, and to be on the watch for every new
opportunity for pushing German trade. They
required to keep the merchants and manu-
facturers at home fully posted as to the changes
in the economic condition of the country and
districts in which they are stationed and when
ever it is practicable. to induce local traders
and producers to open up communication with
the German market They are instructed to ad-
wise their countrymen to the best way Of
pres senting their wares; they even secure con-
tracts for them whenever it is possible. They
constitute themselves the guides, philosophers
and friends of the German producer and NOR
without looking for any other reward than pro-
motion, or perhaps a decoration from the En-
perOr Thanks to them, German trade has been
developed to such an extent that it has
become the principal competitor of that of Great
Britain all the world over, ousting the English
from many of their best markets Indeed Ger
man trade would probably be victorious all along
the line the quality of the proiuce and
manufacture offered equal to that of the English

of the eXertiOn made in its behalf by the hard
working and energetic German consuls
Efficient is the German consular service,
Emperor, Government and the trade and in
dustry of Germany determined to increase
its usefulness by introducing a number of re-
forms chief among which is the abolition of
the practice of confiding consular posts to indi-
VtduaIs, sometimes not even German citizens
who engaged in mercantile pursuits, and
who perform the mere bureaucratic duties of
cOnsuls without salary for the sake of the
prestige and additional business which they may
acquire through their official status This is a
most important measure, which might be adopt
ed with advantage by Great Britain and by the
United States. For instance. the British consul

The Great Northern has filed its
map of definite location for its new
line between Kalispell and Libby.
The new line leaves the old line
about miles west of Kalispell and

The new line is 1886 miles long,
and passes through the south part
of South Libby, cutting off the old
town by one or two miles, and this
having an important bearing on
townsite conditions. There will
also be new town laid out near

NEWS OF OUR NElGHBORS
RATHDRUM.

Auditor Callahan's records show
tht the Northern Pacific is making
a big thing out of the Priest River
forest reserve. Last week it sold
1000 acres in the reserve to Conrad
Kohrs, of Helena, for $22,500.
Two days later Kohrs relinquished
the land to the U. S. and received
forest reserve script which entities
him to 1000 acres of the best gov
eminent land left. The n. P. land
was worthless, except as it might
be turned into script. Kohrs will
take up 1000 acres of fine timber

stead of being law to save the
timber, is really law to help the
