Electric Stock

The sensation of an ordinary severe
shock Of electricity is familiar to the
majority of people, and is not especi-
ally peculiar, but a Knockout dose of
the current is something entirely diff
ferent. Following is a description of
the sensations of a man who survived
a severe shock: I was splicing a con
nection in a power house and mistook
an arc light feeder, which had sagged
down, for a dead wire. 1 had a pair,
of pliers in my left hand, and attempt
ed to push it out of the way with them.
So much 1 remember perfectly. Then
all Of a sudden 1 had a most extra
ordinary sensation. I felt as if my
blood were expanding and swelling
every vein in my body to the last pitch
of tension. The great arteries in my
neck seemed to stretch until they were
as big round as ship cables, and were
sufocating me with their pressure;
and I had the same bursting feeling
in my eyeballs, my tongue, my nostrils,
and even in the roots of my hair. All
this came over MI with terrific swift
ness, but it vas nothing like a stroke

Dogs as smueglers.

In a history of laces, recently pub
lished, the following curious story is
told in regard to smuggling laces from
Belgium to France early in the nine
tenth century, when Belgian lace was
extremely popular. Dogs were trained
to serve the smugglers' purpose. IN
France the animal was fed well, pet
ted, caressed and made extremely
happy. Then, after a time, he was
taken across the frontier into Belgium,
where he vas starved and otherwise
ill treated. After a short time OF
wretchedness the skin of a larger dog
was fitted to his body, the intervening
space filled with lace and sewn up,
and the dog allowed to escape. He
naturally made direct for the old home
across the frontier into France, where
he had been so kindly treated, and
was soon relieved of his contraband."

Trading Rat Loft Gold in Place Of Sill.
yer Spoon.
The action of a rat led N. R. Ingolds-
by to the discovery of a rich gold mine
in Arizona. He named the property
the Rat Hole mine. Mr.. 1ngoldsby had
been spending several months near
Mammoth, on the San Pedro river, in
Arizona. His purpose was to enjoy
the hunting and make a collection OF
the animals and minerals of the South
west. He pitched his tent in the can
yon OF the San Pedro, in the Santa Ca
tarina mountains. He had no neigh
bors, and was for a long time unable
to account for the disappearance of
small articles that he left lying about
his camp. At last he noticed that when
anything was taken something was
left in it's place. This was usually a
bit OF wood or stone. The culprit he
found to be a large rodent of the spe-
cies known as the trading rat. The
habits OF the animal made an interest,"
ing study for Mr.. Ingoldsby, and he
often lay awake at night to watch for
his visitor. A silver spoon was miss
ing one morning, but in it's place was
a piece of quartz carrying free gold.
This still more excited Mr.. Ingoldsby's
curiosity, and after several attempts
he succeeded in following the animal
to its home. Near by was the ledge
from which the gold bearing quartz
had been taken. MI. Ingoldsby made
an examination thorough enough to
prove that mis- discovery was Of con-
| siderable value.

ell, but the progress in comfort and
safety was greater. In 1890 John Fitch
constructed a steamboat-and was con-
sidered a raving lunatic. This opinion
was confirmed when his experiment
proved a failure. Seventeen years
later Robert Fulton, another so-called
visionary, backed by Joel Barlow and
Robert T. Livingston, built the steam
boat Clermont. She was soon dubbed

for Albany on Aug. II, 1907. all New

She went to Albany in the astonishing
time Of thirty-two hours, returning in
two hours less. Now when a gigantic
ocean liner, with lifeboats as large as
the Clermont, crosses the Atlantic in
less than six days, we read the news

steamers should be so slow. Fulton's

tied, they bark with tears in their
voices. The same is true of certain
monkeys. The Cebus azarae weeps
when it wishes are opposed or when it
is frightened, and the eyes of the CALI
thrix %sciureus fill at once with tears
when it is seized with terror. The
aquatic mammals. too, are able to
weep. Thus all authors agree in say
ing that dolphins. at the moment of
death draw deep signs and shed tears
abundantly. A young female seal has
also been seen to weep when teased
by a sailor. st. Hilaire and Culver

with care to make a lovers affection

abundant evidence of the ease wi b
which it weeps. Sparrman assures u;
that it sheds tears when wounded, OF
when it sees that it cannot escape. Its
tears roll from its eyes like those of
lunar being in affection. Iennent,
speaking OF captured elephants. says
that some remain quiet. lying on the
ground without manifesting their
grief otherwise than by the tears that
battle their eyes and run constantly
down. Such are the principal animals
that have been reported as shedding
tears; doubtless they will become more
numerous when We have taken the
trouble to observe the same phenome-
o in other species. adviscthose who
wish to give attention to the matter
to note carefully the circumstances il
which the tears have manifested them
selves. From the examples given
above it will be seen that tears have
about the same emotional significance
in animals as in man, but to establish
the certainty of this we should have
more instances"

That Weep

The weeping mock turtle" in alice

ham classic, who held his pocket
handkerchief before his streaming
eyes," are not wholly creatures of the
imagination, observes the Literary Di-

pin, writing in La Nature. He quotes
numerous authorities to show that
many animals shed real tears, and for
the same reasons that cause human be-
1ngs to weep. He intimates that there
Is a fruitful field for investigation
along this and similar lines. Says Mr..
youpin: Laughing is believed to be
peculiar to man; put the same is not
true of weeping, which is a manifesto

yers animals. Among the creaturesthat

the ~ruminants, with whom the act is

with fearful eyes the hunter who has
wounded it. If we are to credit Cor
don Cumming, the Gland (African an
