ELECTRICITY IN BIBLE TIMES
Some Have Offered an Explana.

Its Use.

An electrical engineer Of Munich
named Siadenmann makes an ingeni-
Gus argument to prove that the Jews
in the time OF Moses had an advanced
knowledge Of electricity, using pas.
sages from the Bible to enforce his
claim.
His theory of the famed serpent Of
bronze is that II was lightning con
ductor; and he also says that the tenn.
pie at Jerusalem was protected by
metal points connected with the
ground
The most ingenious speculation is in
regard TO the work of the covenant.
which was made Of walls OF wood GOV.
cred on both sides with metal. If this
were connected with metal teeth on
the temple roof, Il would form a sort
OF leyden jar charged by the electricity
OF the atmosphere and would give a
shock to anyone touching it.
Mr. Stadenmann presumes that
Moses gained his knowledge OF cleo
tricity from the Egyptians This an
cient race certainly had a knowledge
Of many branches Of science that 1t
took the rest Of the world thousands
Of years to learn But the only proof
that they were electrical engineers
Is one recently advanced by an archie
