SECRET or NATURE FOUND
Fact That It Is Possible to Taste
Electricity Has Been But
Recently Divu:sed.

In some forms electricity is invis-
,J.,, E.4ic in oihers il may be seen,
THE lightning fash and the electric
light are easily seen, but the current
itself is really invisible to the eye.
The sense of feeling can detect the
presence of the mysterious element,
and the sense of hearing may detect
it. and the sense of smell has been
known to locate the presence of the
wonderful power, but it has just been
discovered that we may. taste cleo
tricity.
Metals of an opposite nature will.
when properly connected. throw off a
small current Of electricity, and this
may be tasted by taking a piece of
bright, clean tin about the size of a
silver dollar, and placing either above
the tongue or beneath it, with sill
yer dollar on the opposite side Keep
the outer edges of the silver and tin
apart for a moment, ard see il you can
detect any taste.
Then bring the outer edges of the
metals together with one above and
the other beneath the tongue, and in
stantly there will be a sour taste in
the mouth. This is actually tasting the
electric current that is produced by
the contact of the two metals. and
which in making the circuit is passing
through the tongue which is very sen.
sitive.

head she carried white parasol. John
Folsom looked at her and the spell
was on him. He came to her side
"Lilith," he began hoarsely, taking
her hand. IL" He choked; he
could not continue. On his shoulder,
one arm about his neck. Minnie was
muttering and scolding. She meant
to warn him, but John was past warn
ing now.
Just then he heard the Judge calling
him. Folsom, come here!" he yelled
Come and get some iced lemonade
for Lilith and YOURSELF" He hurried
away. glad of the respite, glad to COM
pose himself. He must be articulate,
he must be clear-headed, for he had to
tell Lilith about Ada.
And yet he knew she would not
care. She would have no scruples
about usurping the others place.
To his surprise the monkey left his
shoulder and sprang to the lowest
branch Of the tree under which the
hammock hung. Folsom hurried away
and presently, coming back with the
lemonade, saw something which as
founded him.
Lilith, in an access of fury. had
reached up and grasped the monkey.
and now, holding her fast by the throat
with one hand, was thrashing her with
the other. The little animal was near
ly choked, she could not scream. but.
with both hands over her head, strove
vainly to ward Off that shower of stun
ming blows. Then Folsom came up
as Lilith flung the creature from her.
Minnie crept sobbing into Johns
arms. He turned and faced the girl
who, disheveled and flushed with pas
sion, stood gazing at him uneasily.
II thrashed the little beast" she
said.
"What did she do to you?" asked
John quietly.
"She sat on the tree and made faces
at me-" Lilith answered petulantly.
"And tell you. John, unless you get
rid Of the beast you must"
She had meant to say get rid Of
me-" but something in Johns face
checked her.
"I'm sorry il | hurt her, John" she
said. But the little wretch hates nj
and l can't bear to be hated. | want
to be loved, john" she added, lifting
her face toward his.
A sudden loathing for her came with
his new understanding.
"Lilith," he said, "a woman who
would beat helpless dumb brute
would beat child"
What do you mean?" she cried.
But he said no more. Holding the
monkey tightly to him he walked
away. And Lilith knew. She knew
that the mother instinct, which alone
can hold a man, had failed her; she
knew that she had irretrivably lost
him. He had found her out at last.
Little mascot" said John, when he
set Minnie down upon his table
there's a long letter from some one
In Boston that we haven't answered
yet. Shall we write to her this after
noon?"
And Minnie picked up his pen just
a. that moment and held it ward
him.

of Time.

When Folsom was sent to the Philip
pines he told Miss Ferris that he
would have something very important
to write to her as soon as he had es-
tablishsd himself. It was something
which he could not say to her then be-
cause Ada Ferris was rich and Folsom
had his way to make in the world. But
when he looked into her eyes he knew
that she would wait-that she was the
kind that would wait years-perhaps
for ever.
1t was lonely in Manila. in spite Of

tured, . tiny baby, in the forests Of
Mindanao. She was the tiniest and
most affectionate creature that he had
ever seen. One day he found her
perched gravely in front Of Ada Fer

ly with approval, for she made little
chattering noise that signified happi-
ness.
Some day, Minnie" said Folsom, as
she snuggled into his coat, some day
we three will be in a world of perfect
happiness"
Then he sighed, for he had not writ
ten to Ado Ferris SO regularly as he
had been used to do. Perhaps 1t was
because his promotion came slowly.

ony, and who distinctly liked Folsom.
There could not have been greater
contrast than between Lilith and Ada
the one proud, mirth-loving, self.
willed; the other gentle, sweet and af-
feCtionate. In his heart Folsom knew
that his new fame could not compare
with the girl whom he had left behind

far away and Lilith was near, and in
his loneliness he found it impossible
to resist her overpowering attraction,
her personality. vibrant with youth.

There had never been any love lost be-

to Ada and now overpowered by the
exotic allurement Of Judge Aintree's
daughter.
The old life seemed very far away
now. The new life was pleasant and
alluring. He had been taken up by
the colony; everybody believed that
he and Lilith were engaged. He must
make his decision.
The day of his decision came. 1t

had pulled out drawer in the desk,
found his box of cigars, and had lei

the envelope across, the Photographic
