Source Of Nervous Impulse.

The theory of Loeb and Matthews
that the nervous impulse, although it
brings in electricity, is far from re-
garding the transmission OF that inn
pulse as identical with a simple cleo
trical current In a medical journal,
DR.. O'Brlen advocates the old theory
that nervous current and electrical
current are Identical, because, first,
electricity is always present when
nerves act; second, electricity is the
form of torce which would do the
work required third, because the ter.
minal and central mechanisms con-
nected with he nerves correspond to
the terminal and central mechanisms
connected with electrical system OF
communication, and do similar work
In sending, receiving, relaying, switch
ing, Transforming, accommodating, re-
tarding. distributing and translating
impressions, and, fourth, because elec-
tricity, with such construction of con-
ductors Ind of terminal mechanfsms.

that would do ali the work required.

A TERROR TO CATS.
British Inventor Seems to Have Filled
Lonq-felt Want.

Probably nowhere Is a peace-loving
community more annoyed o. nights by
philaDdering cats on every roof and
back wall than is the population OF
London. Just now. for the first time,
a genius has risen with what appears
to be a successful remedy for the
evil II consists OF nothing less than
the invention OF a fearsome automa
ton tom cat made up OF tin frame
and covered with fur coat.
tom" is as black as the darkest
night, with stiff black tail standing
up defiantly In the air. and ghostly
look In its sightless eyes. This bane-
full glare is produced by a four-volt
electric battery slowed away In that
PORTION of Toms" anatomy generally
occupied by the digestive organs.
The general principle of construc-
ton, according to the British inventor,
Is based upon powerful clockwork, re-
leased by a lever when the tall OF
the animal Is moved. The clock works
pair of bellows, with two loud
screeching reeds, at the same time
forming contact to light the lamps In
the eyes and forcing outwards dozen
long needle points which come up
through the skin of the back. The
tail also acts as trigger and releases
q hammer formed of the lower jaw
of the cat, which explodes two per-
cussion caps in the mouth.
One night recently an experiment
was made. The clockwork was wound
up and the beast placed in the back
garden. In due course OF time a fe
rocious tom-cat, with chips off Its ears,
walked up to the stranger to give bat
tie, while dozen of his lady friends
sat around to see the fun.
Without the slightest provocation,
he flew at the automatic cat, removed
a lump of loose hair from his back
and broke his tail In half. That ended
the first round, but 1t was only the
signal for the tin tom-cat to get into
action.
The tail exploded the percussion
caps in that cats mouth with sound
resembling that of small cannon, the
electric eyes blazed out like search
lights, while hcartrending shrieks rent
the air from the bellows inside, and
the needle points got their business
ends into the tom-cat.
Within a few secords the garden
was clear and pale-faced pussies were
tearing of through the quiet streets
in search OF home comforts. 1t was
more than a month before they ven
tured to peep over the wall TO see
IL the BLACK terror" was still in PCS
session OF the place.

IN MEMORIAM
Republished by reque St

Republished by reque St
Robert Lyman Russell was born in
Virgil CORTLAND County N. Y. Sept
the 9th 1925 and with his sister Lydia
was the youngest of family OF four
teen children and was the last to an
swer the death roll call responding
Saturday morning August the 22nd
1903 at six o'clock.
His parents were Josiah and Betsy
Russell. OF his early boyhood we
have but little knowledge. He came
from Oakland County Michigan and
was present as a boy under age at the
time of the first township election of
the Township Of Otisco April End 1888.
His older brother Amos Fl. Russell
who came to Otisco first in 1887 had
just brought his family to Otisco and
Robert Lyman come with them.
He was married to Miss Lucy Ann
Brown in 1S4S and settled in Grattan
Kent county where his daughter Ger
trude now Mrs. w. r. Odds was born.
A few years later he moved to gOtisco
where his son Bryant John Russell
now OF Luther was born both OF whom
survive the father.
In 1879 he moved to Luther then a
dense forest in the employ of the old
Wilson, Luther and Wilson Lumber
Company as land locker, surveyor and
pine estimator with whom he re-
NAMED ten years.
Here he lost his wife Lucy in 1887
and was married again to Mrs. Eleanor
Dimmick of Grattan in 1883 but was
once more left widower in 1891 since
which time he has made his home
with his only son Bryant J Russell of
Luthur.
His early life in the pioneer days of
Ionia county gave him an extensive
knowledge OF timber and for years his
estimates of standing timber either
pine or hardwood were considered
standard authority for the amount
upon any given tract Of land. Millions
of feet of timber have been bought and
sold upon his estimates alone.
He was staunch Republican OF no
mean power and held many public Of
fees of trust Ia both Ionia and Lake
counties and was veritabe land mark
in the history OF the last named county.
Last fall he cut his leg badly while
hewing timber for a new barn, losing
large amount OF blood, which at his
age left him in a weakened condition
so that when stomach trouble set Ia he
WASH strong enough to cope with the
combined forces which gradually sap
ped his wonderful vitality as he was
man OF strong constitution and OF al
most Unparalleled nerve, his power OF
endurance being marvellous. He pass
ed beyond into the great unknown,
very bravely and without fear, his
mind clear to the last.
Robert L. Russell was man OF wide
reputation and formed many ties of
lasting friendship during life. Was
familiarity and almost universally
known as "Uncle Lyman" His demise
will be mourned not only by a large
circle Of friends and relatives but by
the general public as welf.N.

Pending consolidation of the Salt

Gold Hill properties work was sus-
pended on all Of them except the
Gold Hill. In Difference to the wishes
of J. l.. Butler and T. l.. Oddie, work
was continued in the latter. 1t IS

and will consist of a cross-cut which
will be run from the 50o-foot Level
to connect with the Fraction No. 2

Plenty of Fish.

Yesterday John Carroll came in
from the club house and brought in
all kinds of fish. that is if numbers
count. He had several bottles of cat
fish about the size of tadDoles. The
little fellows all resembled their par.
ents and even had the whiskers that
go along with well constituted cat
fish. John says that thousands OF
the little fish can lie seen in the
slOughs near the club house. and that
the tules are full of fish of all sizes
This is The first year that they have
bred in such numbers, and il moth
ing happens to kill OFF the little FISH
the lake will be crowded for room
to accommodate them Il is believed
Gy the fishermen that the cause Of the
extensive breeding this summer is
that the dam at Lower Washoe has
been closed and the fish have had t
remain in the lake and tule fields. A.
soon as the fish go back to the mail
