MOTOR POINTS

TT is not generally known that medical science
has succeeded through the agency of the
electric current in causing any facial expression
desired. 1t is done by applying one pole Of the
circuit to the motor point necessary and the
other pole to an indifferent part of the body
usually the breastbone. 1t has been found that
these motor points are the only places where
the current will cause these effects. They are
situated invariably at the points where the
nerve controlling certain muscle enters that
muscle.
Thus to cause look of deep detection on
subjects face the two poles are placed one on
each side of the chin. The current causes a con-
traction of the muscle controlling the upper lip
this lip is drawn downward and outward, thus
causing the desired effect. To cause an ex-
preston of great mirth or laughter the cleo
trodes are placed one in front of the lobe of
each ear on the cheek. The effect of the bilat-
eral contraction is to draw the angles of the
mouth outward, to throw the skin of the cheeks
into arclike folds, and to close the ewes. The
expression of sardonic mirth can be brought to
a point of horror and the face be extremely re-
pulsive to gaze upon.
The most amusing probably is the expression
of conceit and Contemptuous haughtiness oc-
casioned by the contraction of the elevator of
the lower lip and chin. The effect is to fatten
the chin and to cause slight rise in the under
lip. The investigator Won Ziemsen saws in Sar-
casm that this muscle may be considered the
interpreter of exalted self consciousness in
scientists, officials, and aristocrats.
What has been said of the facial muscles ap-
plies equally to the other ones of the body
any effect can be produced that is produced by
Nature. Each separate finger or toe can be
wriggled the leg can be drawn up or kicked out
with force, the arm can be made to go through
different motions the ears be made to move
the skin to tremble the teeth to chatter
Every kind of expression known to humanity
can be produced on the face-one of extreme
pleasure or one of extreme pain, one of black
wrath and threatening anger, or one of con-
temptuous conceit The mouth can be made
to assume pucker for the OSCILLATION process
and the tongue be made to hang out or oscillate
back and forth outside the mouth.
The only thing that is left to Nature and one
that the current cannot cause is the different
degrees of glazing done by the eyes, or their
sparkling. This comes from something deeper
than even the electricitys long searching arm
and seems to be inherent only to consciousness
and real personal feeling.

air between its layers. If the inside of this
bottle is hot, the inside of the air space imme-
diately becomes hot by conduction; this hot
part rises. and the cooler air flows IN to be
heated likewise But the heated air flows to
the outside layer and heats it by conduc ton,
and this in turn is delivered to the outside air
But take all the air out and no convection can
possibly take place. Thus IS the second obJec-
ton overcome.
The third and last one, that of radiation, IS
difficult to overcome entirely, are the others
Radiation means that method Of transferring
heat or energy through ether waves. By radla-
ton we get light and heat from the sun. By
radiation we feel the direct heat of coal fire,
in fact any fame source of heat. These
ether waves have the power of fastening the
vibration of the molecules in any material body
and thus causing heat.
1t has been found that these waves can be
reflected by polished surface, mirror for in
stance. just as light can; that they are alb
sorbed by black or rough surface just as light
is that they are radiated from a black or
rough surface that is hot itself.
1t has been found that if two copper balls OF
the same size be heated to the same degree of
heat, and having one of them painted black
and the other one polished and smooth, the
black one almost Immediately gives up its
heat and becomes cold while the polished one
remains hot indefinitely So the last require
ment for such bottle is that all its surfaces be
smooth and brightly polished-and such will
be found the case in trade products.
More Things in the Future
A S to further application of these two prin-
4 cples, now that the way has been blazed by
actual commercial successes, time alone can
tell. If platinum and metals of like property
were not SO high in price a great deal could be
made out of the absorption phenomenon Ger
tain it is that great amount of energy is gen.
Grated almost automatically in few seconds
by the process. And if some natural method
was found of making the metal disgorge its
contents that remained after much use, such
allowing it to lie in the sun for sometime it is
possible that power large scale could be
obtained therefrom for a nominal price The
platinum of course wears out after awhile, and
therefore cheaper substitute would have to
be found.
Applications of the hot water bottle could
be made in icehouses and refrigerating plants
They could certainly be built of alright com
partments and of polished material. This alone

FsintS About Its RdlblIlty.

To THE EDIroR or THE SuN-SiT: It
was q revelation TO many on the out
side OF the cold storage walls when It was
made known last week that there were
in one Of the cold storage houses In New
York 81. 900 pounds OF fresh" halibut that
had been in the plant three years. besides
10000 cases OF other ish that had been there
from one to three years.
There is no article on the menu Of human
food that decays so quickly and becomes
so wholly unfit to eat AZ ish. no matter
what the species, age or size; nor Is there
any article OF food that shows the signs

the stage where they are sweet and ut for
