San Francisco. Cal Before q
number Of medical men and scientists
Sunday, Doctors Albert J. Atkins and
=. ]. Lewis succeeded in charging an
electrical circuit with human electric.
ity to such a degree that external
sound waves were transmitted and
heard through an ordinary telephone
receiver. The experiment consisted
Of the application Of two platinum cleo
trodes TO the walls Of the living stom-
ach. By means of copper wires the
electrodes yer connected with a tele-
phone and -microphone, a sensitive
instrument, which greatly intensifies
sound. There was absolutely no me-
ehanical or chemical battery in the
circuit yet the moment the electrodes
were swallowed sufficiently to touch
the walls Of the stomach. human cleo
tricity flowed over the wires, render
ing sounds audible.
Drs. Atkins and Lewis claim that by
this experiment they have demonstrate
ed the law of action of the human
senses. They reason that If sound Is
transmitted over a copper wire when
1t Is charged with human electricity,
1t is reasonable 10 consider the prin-
ciple the same when the auditory
nerve is charged with the same force.
In other words. we hear when the audi
tory nerve is made sensitive with hui
electricity on the same same prin-
ciple by which We receive a telephone
message. Furthermore. these scien-
lists claim that by a series Of expert
ments they have proven that diges.
ton is an electro-chemic process. that
all life action in the body is dependent
upon the activity Of the electrical
forces within the organism.

Apples for the Brain.

Apples are SAID to CONAN more
phosphorus than any other fruit or
vegetable. and it is claimed that this
makes them specially adapted to re.
newing the nervous matter Of the brain
and spinal cord. Perhaps for the same
reason, rudely understood. the old
Scandinavian traditions represent the
apple as the food Of the gods, who,
when they felt themselves growing fee

times this has been revived, and nearly

CLEVER DOCTOR.
Cured a 90 Years Trouble Without
Any Medicine.

A wise Indiana physician cured 20
years stomach disease without any
medicine as his patient tells:
II had stomach trouble for 20 years,
tried allopathic medicines, patent
medicines and all the simple remedies
suggested by my friends, but grew
worse all the time.
FINALLY a doctor who is the most
prominent physician in this part of
the state told me medicine would do
me no good, only irritating my stom-
ach and making it worse-that / must
look to diet and quit drinking coffee
II cried out in alarm, Quit drink
ing coffee!' why, What will / drink?
"Try Postum, said the doctor, Z

is made according to directions, with
cream, for it is delicious and has none

Wei, that was two years ago, and
| am still drinking Postum. My stom-
ach is right again and l know doctor

WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
It's Principal Charm Is It's Truly
Cosmopolitan Character, Says
This Authority.

Washington is peculiar city. 1t
has distinct physiognomy of its own.
It is unlike any other town in the
union, and is continually in the eye OF
The public. The peculiarities of the adj
ministratiCn may be criticised, not
withstandng it is dear to all OF us, says
The Metropolitan Magazine. Pennsyl-
fania avenue, by sheer force of its
many historical associations, keeps
alive in us an appreciation Of the CAPT.
tol.
The principal charm Of it is perhaps
it's truly cosmopolitan character. or
course New York lays clam to the
same distinction. But cOsmopOlitan1sm
in New York is of a different KIND.
The term would only apply to its mid
die class and it's large iaboring contin-
gency. Society is rather exclusive IN
that respect. Only few titled foreign

is cosmopolitan. The members OF the
| foreign embassies, the army and navy
! officers, the representatives or the
house, and the members OF the senate
all no <ads by inclination as well as by
profession, make it so. Washington Is
the only city in the world where one
may have the keen-witted daughter OF
| a Russian diplomat, the wife of a CHI
nese minister in her quaint, flower
starred costume, and the ambassadors
of some South American republic, al

of an open cellar window.
After all, this turned out good
