DANGEROUS FASCINATION.
The EIectrician's Constant Battle
Against the Impulse to Touch
Live Wires.

"Did YOU ever stand looking at u
piece of electrical machinery, or at a
wire you knew was charged with Il
heavy current, and experience a strong
desire to touchit?' asked a well-known
electrician of a group of friends, re-
ports the Washington Star. "Well,
tina is one of the most peculiar things
about electricity, and n L have never
heard explained. 1t is a fact. never
theless, hat most everyone on seeing
some bit of electrical apparatus eX-
posed to view wants to put a finger
on it to see if it is loaded Time and
again / have heard people say they
have had a desire ore or less strong
to touch those electric switches ID
buildings lighted by electricity. There
they are on the wall. within easy reach,
innocent enough to all outward appear
ances. Everyone knows there is dam
ger in the touch, and turns away, but
the desire is there just the same. You
would think, however, that men who
work with electricity and know its
dangers would train themselves to
overcome this strange attraction. But
1 have known instances where cleo
tricians have had to actually turn ano
run from a machine to prevent giving
yay to this peculiar influence. Not
long ago a man in this city who was
EMPLOYED to sit and watch the switch
board on one of the big power plants,
fell a victim to this influence. AS he
felt the desire growing stronger he
moved the chair back from the board
Instead of getting used to the work
he became more afraid of it. Each day
this desire to walk up and touch one
of those switches grew stronger. AT
the end of two weeks this young man
resigned his place. He could not stand
the strain. 1t required all his will pow
er to restrain him while he was on
duty, and at night his system
was so upset he could get no rest. He
realized that to touch any switch be-
fore him meant instant death, and his
only safety lay in getting away from
the board altogether. / AVE not q
doubt but that many deaths from cleo
trio shock are brought about in just
this way. In an idle moment a per-
son will catch sight of a switch, a wire
or some other heavily-charged bit OF
apparatus, this strange desire to touch
it will come over him, and in a moment
of weakness he gives way, and in an
instantis dead. We frequently read OF
accidental e~lectrocutions when there
is no apparent reason why the victim
should have touched a live wire.
believe such cases are attributable di.
rectly to this influence. just what il
is or how it works I do not know, but
should like to have a satisfactory ex.
planation."

All Lizards Change Color.

It is a fact not generally known that
nearly all of the common lizards

the change, is less rapid. The ordi'

half a minute, but upon an old-fash-
