Electricity to Restore Youth.

No little interest is being taken in the electrical instruments for the use of dentists and surgeons, and in this connection 1t is permissible to refer to the worldwide curiosity which is felt relative to the claim made by Dr. Eugen Steinbach of the Universi- ty of Vienna that he can restore youth to the aged by the X-ray.
 The full merits of this treatment are yet to be determined, as is the efficacy of the patent taken out by young Edward NJ. Hubbard of Seattle for a process of generating electricity from the air by means of a dynamo weighing only forty pounds. Hubbard says his invention will revolutionize the uses of electricity in the home, of fee, etc, for by 1t every householder shall be able to make his own heat for cooking and house heating and shall be dependent on nothing but air for his supplies.
