Electricity Causes Rheuma tisn.

Sir James Grant. medical man OF
Canada. has evolved the wonderful
theory that rheumatism is due to an
abnormal electrical storage in the hu-
man system. He says that for many
years he has been in the habit of treat
ing cases of supposed muscular rheu-
matism by the insertion of small fine
steel needles, the number varying ac-
cording to the extent of the affected
parts. and. as rule. the seat OF pain
will indicate the precise place and ex-
tent to. which the needles should be
used. They remain stuck into the
muscles for from one to two minutes
The previous hard. tense condition ap-
proximating one of tetany relaxes, the
needles are removed without force, and
the patient is able at once to use the
muscles. Experiments point to an alb
normal storage OF electricity in the
tissues. 1t may be stored as a result
Of sudden draughts and cold. When
the inserted needles are touched the
electrical accumulation is simultane-
eously discharged. passing through the
body of the operator without any seri-
Gus result. There Is almost immediate
relief in lumbago from the treatment.

Early N@ning Parties.

They are saying In England that the
hour OF dawn Is the only one In the
day which finds humanity fresh and
polite. and SO hostesses are consider
ing dawn parties. This means a ride
out into the country in the early morn
ing-of course. this is only in mid
summer weather-to see the sun rise
and get the benefit of the fresh. cool
air. America Is well started in dawn
parties and can give the English host
esses points, for at Bar Harbor, where
there are parties made up to see the
sun rise on the mountains. start is
made at midnight. and. after seeing
the first smile of Apollo. there is a
breakfast. and good substantial one,
made necessary by the coolness and
long ride, and then return trip.

Strange Discoveries in Central Africa by
Explorer Moore.
The problem of how the apple got
into the dumping sinks into inslgnlh-
canoe beside that of the iellyhsh, the
crustaceans and Lake Tanganyika; but
J. E. s. Moore, who mas just come Dack
from Central Africa. believes he has
discovered how the fish from the sea
got into the lake in the middle OF the
continent. Mr.. Moore is one of the
young men at the Royal College OF
Science. South kensington. He WAS
leader Of an expedition largely subsi-
died by the Royal Geographical socie-
ty, and after a years march OF over
5000 miles. from the Zambesi to Ugan-
da, he has come back with hundreds CT
specimens and several important addi-
tions to the knowledge of Central Al
rica. He has encountered cannibais,
volcanoes and glacier and scaled an
ice-clad peak called "Sitchwi," III the
Ruwenzori mountains, or Mountains
OF the Moon. at height OF about $500
feet. The mountains took ten days to

and freezes at night. Mr.. Moore and
the twenty ujUi boys who accompa-
MED HIM lived on goats during the as
cent and descent. driving the goats
and killing them when food was want
ed. The Ujiji boys were SO struck with
the phenomenon of ice that they tried
to carry bits down to Ujiji. The trop
ical sun nearly boiled the ice on the
way. Between Tanganyika and Lake
Albert Edward is lake called kivu.
The best atlas published gives it as
about one-tenth the size of Albert Ed
ward. Mr.. Moore, who was accom-
panied by Malcolm Ferguson, geolo
gist and geophapher, found that kiTu
is larger than Albert Edward The
north end OF Tanganyika was found 10
be fifty miles westward of its ascribel
position. 1t was between this lake ana
kiru that the cannibals were met.
They are tall, light-colored men, more
like Arabs than negroes. and are born
thieves. They gave much trouble and
killed two or three bearers. but Mr..
Moore never had to fight them out
right. Dae primary object of the ex-
pedition was to dredge and sound the
lakes with reference to the marine
forms which Mr.. Moore found there
four years ago. The question was
whether the jellytish and cr,lstaceans
originally got into Tanganyika by way
OF the Nile or the Congo. Having de-
termined that these marine species are
to be found in none of the lakes north
OF Tanganyika Mr. Moore believes
that Tanganyika was once j&ned to
the sea by way Of great basin in the
Congo State. When Tanganyika was
left high, II not dry, in the center of
Africa, the jellytish and crustaceans
OF the sea remained behind and their
descendants are ilourishing today.
They have been there many thousands

GooDFo THE SECOND DISTRICT

The Second District in electing Mr..
Maynard by so handsome majority
did better this year than was expected
of it. The returns as given by the Vir-
ginian Pilot yesterday morning make
the reason of this showing apparent
Mr.. Maynard ran ahead of his ticket,
while Mr.. Wise trailed in the rear oe
his.
AS a matter of fact, many Republi-
cans of the Bowden faction scratch
ed Mr.. Wise while voting the Nation
al ticket. this vote in several wards
of this city being quite large. On the
other hand a large number of voters
in Norfolk who did not vote either
National ticket voted for Mr.. May
nard.
If the Republicans have a majority
of the newly-elected Congressman,
therefore, Mr.. Wise will have trouble
in making out contest that will pass
muster even before a Republican Con-
gressional Committee. The election
was practically n landslide for Mr..
Maynard and the unseatihg of Con-
gresham Young doubtless contributed
largely to it. The Southern people do
not take kindly to having congressman
