Alessandro Volta the inventor of the
electric battery, on April 5, $500, died on
March 5, 1927. AS early as i176O Jonahn
Sulzer announced to the Berlin Academy
of Science the discovery that peculiar
bitter taste is perceived when two met
ais are placed on the tongue and touched
at their edge. The significance of this
observation was not appreciated till Volta
had described his crown of cups" in
1900. While pursuing his experiments to
explain Galvanrs discovery of what is
known as the galvanic battery, Volta, of
the University of Pavia, was led to the
invention of the Voltaic pile
The eighteenth century was drawing to
a close and the scientific world was en-
gagged in a fierce conflict over frogs
leg. The chief combatants in this strife
were Volta and Galvani The latter had
discovered animal electricity by the
twitching of a frogs leg which he. had
hung by a copper hook to an iron railing.
The curiosity to repeat Galvani's expert
ments led to the slaughter of countless
thousands of frogs, which would have
aroused the united opposition of the anti
vivisectionists In these days.
Volta claimed that the pretended ami
NAL electricity was nothing but the cleo
tricity developed by the contact of two
different metals. Galvani answered that
muscular contraction could be produced
with only one metal. Volta replied that
the metals employed were not pure, and
that they therefore acted like two met
ais. The great Humboldt took sides with
Galvani, who succeeded in producing
muscular contractions without the inter-
vention of metal whatever, but merely
applying the nerve of a leg on the mus
cIes, or establishing a communication be-

Galvani died on December 4, 1898. while
the controversy was still raging A little
more than year afterwards Volta had
discovered the Voltaic pile. The inven-
ton of this instrument seemed to silence
forever the claims of Galvani's partisans.
1t consisted of a series of galvanic cir
cles, each composed of a disc OF zinc
and another of copper separated by disc
of paper, card or clotn, and soaked in
water or some other fluid. BY connect
ing a number of pairs of these circles
electricity was developed to an indefinite
extent.
Volta exclaimed with triumphant scorn:
II don't need your frog. Give me two
metals and a moist rag and 1 will pro-
duce your animal electricity. Your frog
is nothing but a moist conductor, ana
in this respect is inferior to my wet rag.
Twenty-seven years thereafter Voltaire

destroyed the illusion of animal electric

death, Galvani was indicated. Subse-

LAST MEETING
Of COUNCIL TO
OCCUR MONDAY
Douglas City atherS Expected
To Give Attention to Several
important Matters al Gath
ering Before Election.

DOUGLAS. MBy 1S.-(Special. y
What is expected to be the last
meeting of the present city council
viii be held at the council chamber
of the city hall Monday night.
When the regular meeting for May
was held there were several matters
that required further attention and
1t was seen that a special meeting
would be necessary and so some reg
ular business was allowed to go
over and it was announced that a
special meeting would be held on
May I6. It is thought that all bus
mess can be transacted on that
night and that the present adm mis-
tration will wind up it's two years
work.
II is understood that several i'm
portant matters will be attended to
by the meeting of the council Mon
day. At the last meeting It was left
TO the financial committee to decide
the taking over of the plant but 20
be used In betterments, engagements
and improvements should be invest
ed. AS the representatives of two
banks are on the water commission
the commission requested that the
council decide this and the report of
the finance committee will be includ-
ed IN the business to be transacted.
The water commission was given
power at the regular meeting to as
certain at what price the building
adjacent TO the city han on the west
could be purchased and il IS ex-
pected that the commission will re
port Monday night and the council
take the necessary steps TO acquire
the property IL the price is found 20
be right
Another matter which VIII probably
receive attention is the fire alarm
system. At the May meeting bids
for the installation OF an automatic
box system were opened. There was
only one bid. from the Gamewen
company. and consideration OF this
was postponed 70 the special meet.
ing II is known that the present
council favors the installation OF such
a system and II the funds are avail
able a favorable action may be an

taken on the appointment OF judges. :

nary will be appaointed for the cleo

entire day yesterday. the case of

bezzlement was before the district
court Numerous witnesses for both
the prosecution and the defense, were
ON the stand during the day, and
when court closed shortly before six
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. practical
y all of the evidence had been intro
duced
The count upon which Phillipson
is being tried is that charging him
with having embezzled some 1900
shares ia the ella county Angora
Goat compan. belonging to Mrs. Anna
Neal. this case being a retrial of the
case upon which Phifilpson was con-
victed at the last term of court.
When the case was taken up by the
I prosecution. Mrs. Anna Neal was
placed ON the stand. She testified
Athat she had placed the goat stock in
Phillipson's hands and that neither
the stock nor its equivalent in money
had been returned to her
j. r. Barnett testified regarding
the reissuaace of the stock in ques-
ton. Frank Frakes afterwards tes-
tifying that he received the stock
from Phillipson, who claimed TO be
an original stock holder in the com
Dany and the owner of the stock in
question.
Sheriff Thompson was also placed
on the stand. He testified that he ar
rested Phillipso1 in Edmonton. Can

paid Mrs. Neal for the stock. giving
her $500 in cash and two checks
When the case was taken up by At

defense, it became apparent that Phil
ipson's defense would be that he had
paid MIS-. Neal for the stock
The chief witness for the defense
was Frank Ewing. who stated that
Mrs Neal had told him of having re-
ceived payment from Phillipson for
the stock
