BY means of galvanometer of re.
markable sensitiveness Mr.. Baines
has ascertained that all fruits, nuts
and vegetables are, while alive, stor.
age batteries of electricity. When
they die or are killed by cooking the
insulation between the negative and
positive systems is destroyed. In an
orange, says Mr.. Baines, each alter.
nate section is a charged cell, which
will cause the galvanometer to record
a current. These cells are insulated
by their skins, and collectively they
constitute a battery which is insu.
lated by the rind of the fruit.
When the members of the British
Institution of Electrical Engineers
paid a visit of inspection to northern
Italy lately. they were interested in
device used to protect the overhead
transmission lines of an electric trac.
tion system from lightning dis
charges. The device consists of jets
of water, which form permanent
"earth" at the Monbegno generating
station on the Valtellina line. The
electric resistance of the jets was said
to be sufficient to prevent a serious
loss of current, while not too great to
enable them to serve for protectio'
against lightning.

HYPNOTISM FAILS

CHICAGO, May 6-Mrs Mary
Bicking, 33 years of age, had beel
driven by the insane jealousy of hef
! second husband, George Bicking, 80
years of age, to leave him eight
times. Eight times, by what he
friends declare to have been hypnot-

Today she threatened again to leave
him, and when his effort to bend her
will to his own by looking her in the
eye had failed, he killed her with a
revolver and then blew out his own
brains.
Before he stood in front of thu
mirror to aim the fatal shot at hin
self, Bicking attempted to shoot his
step-daughter, Lulu Young, 16 years
of age, and her cousin, Pearl Baus-
ties, 16 years old. In this he was
unsuccessful, the young women ee-

well to do, he refused to buy clothes
for his wife's three children, who
bore Young's name. Bicking was the
