EXPERIMENTS IN BODY ELECTRICITY ASTONlSH DOCTORS

with the mucous membrane secreting an
alkaline and being moist the lungs, too,
are voltaic batteries.
Prof. Leibig in investigating animal
fluids has shown that there is Tactic and
phosphoric acids in all organisms where
lines are separated by a membrane con-
stitutng myriads O" galvanic circles Which
produce chemical electricity.
The lifelong Investigations of Matteucci
and Du Bois Raymond prove this muscu-
lar production OF electricity beyond the
possibility of q doubt. Hundreds Of scien-
lists have shown the structure of the
electric organs of electric fish to be con-
structed on the same principle. All inves-
tigators have found with the sure test of
the galvanometer that the muscle sur
faces have always the positive and mega
tive currents of electricity.
The liver is covered with the acid pro-
ducng membrane and lined with the
alkaline-producing membrane. The liver
being more acid. the negative polarity, 1t
draws the surplus and waste alkaline
salts and SecretionS into the intestines
for passing out of the body in the daily
waste. The liver is also voltaic bat
terry.
In the voltaic battery solid metals are
used, like copper and zinc. They cannot
chemically unite to form the electricity
until they are converted into liquid form.
In the body the acids and alkalies are
abes them to unite and produce electric
ity faster than in the voltaic battery.
1t has been shown by good electric au-
thorities that the positive and negative
poles of a battery placed upon the sur
face of the body will decompose alkaline
salts at the negative pole and acids at
the positive pole, proving the free circu-
lating fluids of the body to be acids and
alkalies This was first demonstrated
by DR.. Means of the Georgia Medical Col
lRre some flffy wears ago.
From these facts science accepts the
theory that the body is great electric
battery, containing many batteries within
function is the production and distribu-
tion of electricity. One naturally sup
poses that, proving the vitality to be
electricity, the way to cure a chronic
weakness Is to take electricity from a
battery. But when electric battery
gets weakened one does not take 1t to
another battery and give 1t current for
producing electricity as when in good
condition In the same way the use of
a battery when one is not producing
enough electricity cannot do more than
momentary good, for the electricity cam
not be stored in the body. The only
| means of health is to increase the pro-
duction of theliving batteries.
Mr.. Mcconnell who has gathered to-
gether in his scientific researches all these
facts as to the voltaic character of the
human book, has recently been called to
New York to lecture on his theory of
health. He believes the control of ones
own vital electricity will cure any chronic

have good health. Any human being may
have good health by increasing his pro-
duction of electric power

Mans love is Of mans life thing apart
'Tis womans whole existence"
And it, as has been charged, this is
because that existence is narrow. it In no
degree lessons the fact. There is no
greater joy for the woman who loves
than to spend and be spent for the man
whom she loves, to feel that she helps,
strengthens and comforts him. that he
could not well do without her. The love
pf good man and true. when that love
is mutual, is the most precious gift
which God bestows upon Il woman.
All the same, it is many times better
that woman should stand alone all the
days of her life than leap upon a broken
reed which, perchance, will not only fail
her but pierce her to the heart. 1t is
better not TO marry at all Indn TO marry
badly. Moreover, there are some women
for whom marriage is always more or
less Of mistake. There are many peo-
pie in this world who are incapable Of

" HAT wax moths, which devour sur
plus combs of apiaries. are not an
unInixed evil, and that in their
destruction of the combs they also destroy
any infection of brood disease which may
exist in the hives, is held to be an er-
roneous idea on the part Of beekeepers
by e. +. Phillips, Phi. D., of the Depart
menl of Agriculture.
Although textbooks on agriculture and
treatises in bee journals have repeatedly
reiterated the statement that the wax
moth is a benefit in this respect the idea
has been disproven by recent experiments
and observations by the Department OF
Agriculture.
In his report on this subject Mr.. Phil
lips says that the character of the de-
cayed bee larva, killed by the disease
known as the American foul brood. makes
it impossible for the bees themselves
to ramove the infected mass from the
comb cells. The decayed larvae disinte-
crate rapidly and become a ropy sub
stance. which will string out for an inch
or more. But after the decayed mass
dries it adheres to the walls of the cells
so tenaciously in a scaly form that 1t
cannot be removed without tearing the
wax cell itself to pieces.
This permanently infects cell. and 1t
is impossible for another larvae TO reach
maturity in healthy condition. Con-
seauently, the number of bees which
reach the adult stage is greatly reduced,
AMI, as the old field bees die and are
not replaced, the colony becomes depleted.
finally disappearing altogether.
A strong colony, of bees experiences no
difficulty in repelling the invasions OF the
wax moth. but where the apiary Is weak
ened by the brood disease moths find
entry and soon unoccupied cells become
infested with the tunnels and cocoons
made by the wax moth. This destruction
of combs continues until nothing remains
on the floor Of the hive.
The prevalent idea, according to Mr.
Phillips, among beekeepers is that in de-
stroying the combs the wax moth con-
sumes the scaly residue left in the cells
by the decay and following desiccation Of
the infected larvae. This Is not so. If
the wax moth destroyed the infected
combs of wild colonies, or even of the
colonies in the apiarieS of careless bee
keepers. says the expert. the wax moth
would be a benefit to the industry to that
extent Instead of accomplishing this
end, however, the Agricultural Depart
ment's observations have proven that the
scaIy residue in the infected cells is the
only substance which the wax moths

"71TH all the modern talk of the
w bondage of woman to the tyrant
man, the abundant admonition
AID exhortation to the effect that
all women should live their own
lives. firmly putting aside the love
which might hinder. the ties which might
hamper them, the indutiable fact is that
marriage is and ought to be the chief end
OF woman in general; that her primary
mission in life is that of wife and mother
True, 1t Is not her only one; there is much
room, and more work, in the world for
women who nave neither husbands nor
children. For only suppose all the women
were married by whom would superfuous
babies be cared?, Where would be the
kind aunts who would knit all the stock
ings, and nurses to do up The trottingS

To be sure. modern science has abol-
ished the cradle as pernicious to infantile
health of body and mind. and home knit

or so ago We're full of the dis
covery by Dr. ]. G. Siebel, a
~ physician of Chicago, on the
electric power of the human
body.
DR.. Siebel made his announcement be-
fore the American Association for the
Advancement of Science that he had dis
covered a method of generating energy
within the human body. He asserted that
electricity stored in the human body can
be released and made to do work. This
work, he said, is the prolongation of life
through the additional vitality supplied
to the human body working as it's own
electrical generator.
DR.. Siebel announced that nutritive ele-
ments. such as alcohol, sugar and fats.
during their consumption by the human
body, act as generators of electricity in
the miniature batteries that comprise the
muscular structure of the human frame.
He declared that he has succeeded in the
construction of batteries on a working
scale in which the nutritive element nee
essary to form the connection between
the batteries and the system has been
created.
it is comes as a curious corollary upon
the investigation in this city of Andrew
Mcconnell who maintains that the hui
man body is itself voltaic battery.
The principle of the voltaic battery is
an acid and an alkaline substance like
zinc and copper, which when brought to-
gether in moist state will produce a
chemical change which generates a cur
rent of electricity.
This principle was discovered by Volta
in 1870. He found that two piles of acid
and alkaline metals would produce twice
the current of one pile: that hundred
celled battery would double one of fifty
cells. Up to this time the only way to
produce electricity was by friction, which
was neither continuous nor of sufficient
power to use for any practical purpose.
The voltaire battery furnished continuous
current and Davy. with one of 1000 cells.

Prof. Aldini, a nephew of Galvani. first
suggested the fact that the inside lin ngs
of the body, the mucous membranes, are
alkaline in substance and that the skin
exudes an acid. The body being three
fourths water has the necessary moisture
to keep up the chemical changes between
this theory, is thus a voltaic battery, con-
! :inually producing electricity.
Aldini proved this by touching one leg
of a frog to the alkaline tongue and the
other to the acid palm. which plainly
showed the presence of an electrical cur

showed that an electric current can be

leave untouched. and these scales may
be found in the bottom of hive depleted
by the invasion of moths, and that the
material which may serve to infect an
other colony of bees with the American
foul brood remains even after the combs
are destroyed.
These experiments. conducted at the
Agricultural Department by Mr.. Phil
lips. dealt with combs invaded by both
the large wax moth and the smaller va
riety Of the same tribe.
The comb infected with foul brood,
upon which was placed the larvae Of the
large wax moth, was inclosed in a box to
exclude light. The moth larvae at first
worked on the under side of the comb,
but gradually came to the upper sur
fRce. In one part Of the comb the lower
side walls of the cells remained intact
and there the dried-down scales of the
American foul brood were found to be
the thickest. evidencing that this was
the center Of the brood during the period
of infection by the disease. The re-
mainder OF the comb, when examined
after the period of experiment had
passed. was found to be a mass Of debris
and webs, with here and there a scale
scattered.
Unsatisfied with even this conclusive
evidence that the wax moth does not
thrive. or even subsist. on the cells in
fected by the foul brood. larvae of the
wax moth were placed in a box and
quantity of the scales placed therein.
All other possible food for the moths
was excluded, and examination after a
short period revealed the scales un-
touched and the larvae of the moth
dead.
The work Of the lesser wax moth, or
Achroia Grisella, was observed under
similar conditions. A large comb was
obtained from Fillmore. Ventura county.
Cal, and when it was found to have
been the home Of colony infected with
the foul brood was stored away. In
some way this comb became invaded by
the lesser wax moth, who performed the
work of eating away the wax very thor
oughly. The scales left were then taken
and used in connection with innoculation
of undefiled combs and found efficacious.
The experimenters. therefore, arrived at
the incontrovertible conclusion that the
residue left by the smaller moth was
still dangerous and infectious.
In the control of the brood disease Of
bees. the constant reinfection Of apiaries
from the diseased combs Of colonies in
a wild state Is one of the things which
must be constantly guarded against IT

to rid his apiary of disease. but he must
