4 new cure for many kinds OF Internal

been found In the application of an enor-
mously powerful electrical current, such
as ia used for wireless telegraphy, 20 the

y The firm of electricians. Messrs, Siemens

on the market an apparatus whereby
such currents can be passed through the
human body without producing any detri-

no other effect than 10 produce warmth.
1t is now claimed that the application
OF the current to any diseased internal
organ may produce n healing effect.

rent to the part OF tile body to be operat-
ed on will produce sterilization and pre-
vent blood poisoning.

But Germany has more recently dster-

Efforts Being Made TO Stir Up

CAIRO. June 4.
4 story is being published by the
leading Nationalist organs here to the
effect that the Copts are ~conspiring TO
create a demonstration against the
Arabs. and that n deputation OF Cepts
is preparing to leave Cairo for England
to lay their case before his majesty's
government.
The lattor step is certainly a very
necessary one. and 1T is a pity it has
not vet been carried out, as It you'd
certainly allow the authorities at home
to understand more fully the criminal
work that Is being actively pursued by
the Natioralfsts.
Their Statement that the Copts are
busy plotting n conspiracy against tho
Arabs is a most serious matter Indeed,
az besides being utterly without fouu-
dalton, 1t produces a very strong feel
Ing OF uneasiness In the country aud
PARALLELS business to some extent.
Such articles can only lead to the
growth OF tho ill-feeling at present
prevailing between the Christians and
Mcslems. and may ultimately lead TO
blcodshed in the streets. Indeed. it
looks very much as if that were the
object of the Nationalist. They ought
to be brought to book before the au-
thoritiea.

are being accused OF Il fantastic plan
for massacring the Arabs. and the lat
