Moses, Electrician

That electricity must have been
known to the ancients has been many
times asserted, but now comes for
ward an electrician in Munich-Mr.
Stadelmann-who has been in times
past an archaeologist, to assert that
he found in Egypt, in buried walls, in
dications denottng the use OF electric
lamps, says writer in Harper's
Weekly. He claims that Moses
brought electricity from Egypt and
that there are Biblical paragraphs
which will bear him out in his state
ment that lightning rods were in use
in the temple at Jerusalem. StadeI-
mann believes that the serpent OF
bronze of Moses was nothing more or
less than an ordinary lightning rod
such as is in use today.
He points out, further. that the Ark
of the Covenant, made as it was OF
wood and adorned inside and out with
gold. constituted a veritable Leyden
Jar which communicated with light
ming rod on the roof. and that it was
so arranged that under determined
conditions it could be charged with
electric fluid and produce the death
of any ignorant person daring to en-
ter the sacred precincts of the ark
without necessary precautions.

CHAPTER v.
The Threat of Swords.

Stepping from the glare Of those
cleaning parlor lights into the gloom
of that narrow passage. blinded me for
the instant, yet moment later, be-
came aware of the distant glimmer of
a candle, the faint reflection revealing
the girls face.
please do not talk; do not ask any
thing-yet," she urged hurriedly,
noiselessly closing the door at my
back, and as instantly gripping my
sleeve. Her breath came quickly; her
voice trembled from suppressed excite
ment. Come with me, beyond the
light yonder."
l followed her guidance, bewildered,
yet having every confidence the rea-
son for this mysterious occurrence
must be fully justified. The passage
curved slightly, terminating at closed
door. Scarce reflection of the candle
reached us here, yet my eyes were by
now sufficiently accustomed to the
gloom SO that l could trace the out
lines of her face. A vague doubt took
possession of me-

SALT IN THE HUMAN SYSTEM
E~n.riments Have Proved That Too
free Use Of the condlment VIII
Do Much Harm.

orhere are certain affections in
which the presence or absence of salt
IN the diet is an extremely important
factor. There are various forms Of
tidney diseases in which there is a
tendency for water to accumulate In
the system because, somehow, the kid
neys are unable to excrete 1t. These
dropsical conditions, as they are called,
are very serious, bring on gradual in
reference with locomotion, disturb
the circulation and generally are con-
sidered Of serious significance.
Some five years ago German physi-
clans began to call attention to the
fact that If these patients did not take
so much salt, and particularly II their
diet were made absolutely salt free,
the dropsicaI illusions by which they
had become "waterlogged" would be-
gin TO disappear.
Experimentally it was shown that

Watts said he asked questions OF

any notes. He liked the fellow, but
thought he was mighty inquisitlVe.

Scatter them to every north post.
The fellow had no horse, and your
troopers can easily get ahead OF him.
Hurry up now" Carter departed with
click of steel, and MacHugh evidently
turned to his companion.

Some of those outposts will nab him

beyond the masque-what is occurring
now?"
She turned to look, attracted as
had been by the change and hustle
about us. A few feet from where We
stood conversing, large folding doors,
previously concealed by draperies,
were suddenly flung wide open, re
vealing a magnificent dining hall.
Dazzled by the magnificent spectacle,
turned TO my companion, unable to
resist temptation. She must have in
