on the further side f.f the encampment,
and as Ksdaile passed the servants'
"pal" he caught their dim outlines un
der their respective blankets. He had
at first intended to online his stroll to
the eompuss of the eimip, but his nerves
were unsettled, and tiie presence of
other men. unconscious though they
were, jarred. It was a rash thing to
do, to venture imo the forest in that
wild beast haunted spot: but Ksdaile's
rashness was an incepted quantity, and
he did not stop to consider now. More
over, he could walk In the jungle with
as stealthy a tread us n Jesuit, and n!s

could h t" t o'h'r.K more than the rustle
of a leaf. He slide across the encamp
ment and leude for the liue.which gaped
like an ip "i wound in the forest before
him. it cl'lt the jungl- asunder to
leave a pathway, and when Ids feet
were upon It Ksdaile knew himself safe
fur a mile's straight walk. Al'ler that
ai.other line bisected It, a large, empty
liut miiikhig the junction; beyond
iiL'aln, another liii", and at the end of
that a village. The geography of the
I nice outside the eaitip, the life link
ing behind the t'ees was plain to h
tlaile's car. There was the sruilic of a
frightened hare. the drowsy wing slink
of a chikor overhead, und every now
und then a long sweep of the nir from
a.i owl in Might. War away a blot in r
hooil of jackals shrieked, and. nearer,
tin re was the tread of chital stealing
from one glade to another. It
grew blacker and blacker as he strode
further from the clearing, and the air
became less raw and more charged
with the smell of foliage and rank
jungle grass, mice lie stopped and
snuffed the wind like n horse. A pan
ther had lias scd across the track only
u few minutes before. Its whereabout
were soon made known by the cry of
f 'lirhteneil deer, and the thought long
ingly of the shikar. Second thoughts
made him smile nt the possible revers
ing of the notion, and he walked on
again. After all. the odds helng in the
Im ast's favor, it was well that they had
not met.
The ranger's hut loomed suddenly out
of the blackness, and Ksdaile hesitated
as to which path to take. The right
hand one he knew it led to Saiiao,
where a tributary joined the (hinges,
and innhseer lishing was the best to be
had. The lelt-hand one pierced deeper
into the forest: It ended, lie thought,
in u village. Well, he would take It and
see whence his footsteps might lead
him.
Mlncker and blacker, and the beast
poises plainer than ever. Ksdaile
walked very cautiously, for he was out
of man's province and in the territory
of King Jungle now. He thought of
the strange creatures with wnieh na
tive tradition had peopled this p-rra
Incognita; the forest demons, the vam
pires, the werewolves. There was a
tale of men who had died in the forest
and whose spirits used to gather to
gether in the night and nod ghostly
heads over an illuslonary fire. Small
comfort that: and what a motley com
pany! His wandering thoughts came
bnek with a- shock nnd he stopped
dead. No. it was not fancy. There
was a point of firelight through the
trees.
For the moment Ksdaile thought he
had happened upon the spirit company,
and knew an impulse to turn tail. For
the moment only, und then common
sense came to the rescue. There was
not only the shaft of firelight sliding
past trunks und branches, but nis keen
ear caught the sound of human voices.
The policeman's Instinct made him
turn off the path and edge toward the
light, which was embowered In the for
est some fifty yards from him. The
men who would aim: in that dense
jungle, so far from any clearing, must
be madman or criminals; and in cither
case he had a right to be a witness to
their proceedings. He crept lip noise
lessly frnin tree to tree, und stopped
finally when three more strides would
have taken him up to the very fire.
He stood behind a massive trunk,
leaned his shoulder comfortably
against it, watched and listened.

From the Philadelphia Record.
When Thomas Ivlison exhibited
original kinotoscone
he foretold that he
would c-ninrge ine euecis proonepu iy i
and give life-size pictures In action, with
every detiil of raovimint and expression.
The development of thu vltascope has
already In part fullilled this prediction.
The p'roper colors have, furthermore,
been seeund through the careful tmnil
peinting of every aentirnte negative ill
the series of thousands that are whirled
bv the magnifying lens. This procens
is very coptly at present, especially ns
Ih.-w colors mi'st be fixed upon all the
tiny negatives of the gelatin ribbon with
powerful chemicals in order to prevent
their fading under the Intense heat of
carbon burner. A cheaper ilevlce Is
mech to be exported, however.
Inventive nge. A process of 11-
nhotogruphy Itself Is not be-
ho:e of realization.

of the vltascope s'.iail have been reached,
will it not be entire! practical to at
tempt to utilize lids new klnetoscople
recording laaiery fur le- purpose of

C.corife Parsons Lathrop propounds In
the errrrnt Usee of The North Anurl
ean Review, und he answers to his own
satisfaction in the aflhinullve. Tiie lt-c
ord is inclined to ugice with .Mr. Lathi-op
In his nrophecy. The only .ciili.ir dlf
liculty to lie obviated if Illuminate I vlt.is
coope" backgrounds are to tic used on the
stage as s;enciy would be that of hti
montelng the uetors and their surround
ings with the new scenic accessory. An
Mr. Lathrop remarks:
"At present, the vilascope picture Is
thrown from the front of the theater on
to the screen which takes the place of the
ordinary "lint" or lalnted canvas at the
back of the stage, if, this method were
continued the actors would neeesrarily
cast grotesque ar i disconcerting shadows
en the vltascope scenery behind them, up
I the stage. This ihtllculty can be ouviai? I
by placing the vltascope behind the screen
i oil the sluge; so that there would be no
! possibility ol its ladiance causing shad
1 ows from the llgures of the living actors
I in front of the screen. Thin, white, truiis-
parent muslin should be ustd for the
! screen."
Mr. I.athrop also makes public the in
teresting fact that Mr. F.dlson Is now oc
cupied with a much larger form of vitas
co;.e or, as he nrefers to call it, klnctos
! pope which will make negatives cover
i ing as many as six hundred llgures In nio
I Hon: so that Immense spectacles may be
displavid bv it. tilling the whole space of
the tint" scene ol" a theater. "An enllre

From the Washington Star.
. The mystery that surrounds the ef
fect of electricity on the human body
is a subject of persistent inquiry and
experiment by electricians and scien
tists. The amount ot electricity that
will sometimes pass through the hu
man body without producing fatal re
sults is surprising and often unac
countable, while at other times cur
rents less powerful In every way, for
some reason, are often fatal.
Dr. Francis H. Bishop, director of
the electrotheapeutlc clinic ut the
Kastern dispensary, has made a special I
study of this phase of electric phe-1
nomena. "The alternating current of j
great amperage high voltage and low
frequency," said Dr. Bishop to a Star
reporter, "Is the current that causes
the (create. number of accidental
deaths, as well as the current thut Is
used in the state of New York for the
purposes of executing crimlnuls. The
continuous current, which as used In our
incandescent street lighting, while not
harmless when close-circuited through,
the body, does not offer the same de
gree of danger us the arc light or alter
nating curtent. The number of periods
pqr second, other things being equal,
seems to be the most important factor
In the death-dealing qualities of elec
trictly. The ordinary commercial alter
nating current, with from live to eight
ampere, and K00 to 2.00b voits, witn
per second, would kill In a few seconds
periods of alternation from 100 to 130
any animal on the face of the earth.
When the periods are lOO.IMirt.OllO to bil
lions per second, a circuit which would
be fatal, at the commercial period be
comes not only harmless, but the sen
sation Is most agreeable. Dr. Elihtt
Thomson in his experiments has placed
himself In a circuit within alternat
ing current of great frequency, with un
amperage of from 1.5 to 3 nmpers.
"1 have had the pleasure of wit
nessing some of Dr. Thomson's experi
ments and placed myself In circuit with
two incandescent lamps, which were
brilliantly lighted, and yet, the cur
rent was almost agreeable.
"In this connection Dr. J. H. Kellogg
says: 'I have been able to pass through
my body currents of more than S.oisl
niilliumperes, when currents of a quan
tity ten times less would be extremely
dangerous, If the frequency In the place
of being riOO.DUU to 1,000,(1110 per second
were lowered to 100 per second, the
usual rate of alternating currents em
ployed for medical purposes,'
Kl.KCTltOOI'TION.
'VAc cording to newspaper reports,"
Bald Dr. Bishop, "they use In New York
tate for the purpose of electrocution
a pressure of l.fiiio volts. And, accord
ing to Dr. l-.dwiu J. Houston, in a pu
ller before the American Klectro-Ther-apcutic
Association in IN'.U, on 'Death
by the Alternating t'tirretit.' the re
sistance of the body of the criminal by
the use of H e large electrodes saturated
with salt solution is reduced to l!i0 or
liooo ohms. So, according to uhni's
law, he receives from ti to 7'-ss uinperes,
or from B.OUU to 7,iii)0 millainpei'cs. Or
take m amperes mtiliiplied by l.f.0')
volts, e find that the criminal has
passing through his body 11. "io Watts
or ll.l'.'.O Joules per second, equal to a
little more thun lri horse power, 74ti
Walts to the horse power, each horse
power being equal to DM! foot pounds
per second, equals 15 horse powet,
equal x.LTiO foot pounds per second. Still.
Dr. D'Aisonval of Paris has intimated
that our criminals are nut killed by
electricity, and Laves us to infer that
they are destroyed at the uutupsy.
D'Arsonval gives t,wo methods by
which the alternating current kills:
First, by the disruptive and electrolyt
ic elfects of the current; in these
cases he claims that death Is absolute
and certain. Second, by excitation of
nerve centers, uecotnpniiled by arrested
respiration and syncobe, without lesion.
In these cases he claims thut death
is only apparent."
QI'F.STION OF CONTACT.
"The serious accidents from electric
currents are caused by persons com
ing in contact with live electric wires
while they themselves are In connection
with the earth, or w ith some other con
ducting material that is connected witli
the earth. A bare wire suspended
from an arc light or trolley wire that
Is poorly insulated, or where there Is
no Insulation, may be Innocent enough
in itself, and when not disturbed has
no current of electricity passing, but
when touched by man or unlinal In
contact with the earth, the current
Is immediately short circuited through
the body to reach the earth and the
amount of shock that th. individual
receives depends upon the- umo'Jnt of
electro-motive force, the perfect con
tact, and the resistance oilered by the
body, as well as the length of time
the current passes through the body.
The body resistance depends upon the
moisture or the whin or clothing, the
perfection of the contact ami lh;
amount of surface exposed to contact.
"A person whose dry clothing strikes
a live suspended wire receives much
less shock than if the clothing wtre wet
or damp. If the hand should giasn a
live wire and the hand be perfect iy
dry, the shock would be less severe
than If the hands were damp or wet.
The current finds its exit through the
course of least resistance, which might
lead through very important- structure
and death would be upt to claim Us
victim. The length of time that a per
son is subjected to the cuirent Is a
question of gnat Importance, as every
second adds wonderfully to the horse
power und foot pounds that raas
through th" victim.
TO P.KSCTF, A VICTIM.
"Kvcry e.t'ort should lie made to lib
erate him r.t once. How Is this to be
done? Find, keep cool; don't lose your
head. Do not place yourself in circuit
in trying to help others out. When the
victim is a lineman nnd up nmong the
wires, or on a pole, nothing much can
lie done until the current Is shut off vt
the powir house. Should the victim b-
lying upon the ground, grasping the
wire In one or both hands, take a dry
stick and push the person from the
wire, or wrap a large dry sIIk hand
kerchief around your hand nnd catch
hold of the victim's coat tall or dress
and pull him or her from the wire, s
on extra precaution, if your own coat
is perfectly dry, you might place It up
on the earth to stand on. I'nder n.
consideration catch hold of. or tanner
with In any way the wire, unless you
are positively certain that you are
thoroughly Insulated by rubber boot
or gloves. r both. Even then It Is bet
ter to pull the victim from the wli e.
Remember always that the currenf fol
lows the course of least resistance and
Is not going to go out of its path for
the sake of running into you; nor will
it vary its course If you tret in the way.
unless your body puts In more resist
ance than that of ano'her circuit.
Therefore, never, under any circum
stances, when you are removing a per
son from a live wire, allow- his body
to leave the earth. Or, In cither words,
don't lift him. Keep him to the earth,
for when-hiB body leaves the enrth your
hotly become the conductor, and you
simply add another victim to the list.
An Iron rod or heavy copper wire run
deeply in the ground. In such a way
that when the free end Is liberated It
will rprins o the live wire above the
victim, w ill lake the current from loin
to that lie may be pu!l:d away. Kven
then be cautious. When the victim has
been released f rem the w ire proceed
at once to artiriclal res;i!r..Mit. Be
sure that the clothing is well loosened,
especially n'jout the neck and watrt.

by Dr. Pierce in his daily practice in the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Dtiffalo, N. Y., the greatest institution of
the kind in the world. It has relieved thou
sands of women from suffering and pain and
prepared thousands for the successful per
formance of the duties of maternity.
