ElectrtcIty Is Not Dangerous w hen Il

Experiments on the brain OF living
subject with electric currents have
been comparatively rare, rs there has
prevailed among physicians and ply
Biologists the idea that such a course
of experimentation was extremely dan
gerOus. There have recently been
published. however. records Of some
experiments carried on by NJ 8. Leduc,
with the object Of using the electric

early experiments 1t was shown that
the brain Is the best conductor OF cleo
tricity In the human body. being about
5000 times more conducting than mus
Gle. 1t was also observed that when
continuous current was passed
through the head from one ear to the
other, that the sensat ton of giddiness
was produced and that objects ap-
peared to revOlve i'm the same direc-
tons as the current flowed. However.
when the electrodes are placed on the

from back to front the effects are in

used and in some cases may be bene

satisfactory current is one Of four mil
liamperes at thirty volts. which Is
broken or interrupted 100 times a Sec

interruption. The first effect noted
was the disappearance of the faculty
of speech. after which followed the
loss Of the motor faculties. Under or.
binary conditions there is no affection
of the respiration or pulse unless the
current Is increased, and then i; may

GOT A COAT AND TROUBLE.
James Marshall Charged With Theft
from Train.

A negro named James Marshall was
arrested last night by Officer Hen
bricks on the charge of grand larceny.
Marshall was caught with an over
coat which was stolen from a Santa Fe
train Wednesday. A description of the
coat was sent back to Topeka, and it
was on the description that Hendricks
made the capture. The officer started
Il converse ton with the negro and
made some remark about the coat
which was about two feet TOO large for
the alleged thief. and finally called Ser
geant Darby into the consultation.
When they spoke Of arresting Marshall,
the latter made a run for it, but acct
dentally crossed the path of Officer
Duncan who was approaching, and was
taken in.
The manner in which the overcoat
was stolen was rather bold. The thief
passed through the train as it pulled

AFTER THE BOYS.
Policemen Are Now Enforcing the
CurfeW Ordinance.

Probably because he could find Moth
ing else to do and wanted to appear
busy, Officer James arrested half a
dozen boys last night on the "curfew''
charge. He started with two, and to
make it look better, gathered up all the
boys he met along the way. The last
two were arrested at the postoffice cor
ner. All the boys were released in a
short time by the sergeant, and their
names We're not placed on the police
register. The two boys picked up at
the postoffice had been sent there by
their parents with letters to mail, and a
pair of anxious fathers were hunting
for them in a short time. Some police
men do not seem to realize that the
curfew ordinance was made with the
same understanding that many Others
are made-that officers were capable o.
using little judgment in its enforce
ment.
