THE ALTERNATING CURRENT.
IU Action on tha MuioIm Mor latent
Tha th Contlaaoui.
Some German experiments conducted
to ascertain the eltecti of alternating
current! on the human body were made
as follows. Two metallic conductors
of opposite polarity were hld, one In
each band. With the hands damp and
effective electromotive force of thirty
volts at fifty alternations per second the
whole arm scorned paralysed; extended
It could not be flexed, and flexed It
fould not be strengthened. At the same
time the pain was so severe It could
not be borne for more than five of six
seconds, and It was with difficulty that
the hands could be detached from the
electrodes. When the voltage was
raised to fifty volts complete fixation
occurred, that Is, the hands could not
be withdrawn by voluntary effort, and
the pain was Intense. When the vol
tage was raised to eighty, even with the
hands dry, all the above phenomena
was accentuated. The effects of alter
nating currents on the muscles and or
gans of the body Is much more Intense
than continuous currents of the same
voltage.
Experiments were also conducted to
observe the effects of the current pass
ing to the earth through the body from
live wire. A person standing on a
damp macadamized road with dry shoes
and touching his hnnd to a conductor
having a potential of 1,000 volts, expe
rienced a burning sensation, and when
the conductor was grasped by the
whole hnnd a violent tremor occurred
through the body, with complete fix
ation, Ruch experiments are execed
l.igly dnngerous and might prove fatal,
and, fmsequently should not be at
tempted except under special condi
tions, of which an expert only should
be the Judge.

Children's KierrU.
The amount of exercee n chldbood
and youth should be carefully regulat
ed as In many Instances ambitious
children will far exceed tbelr strength
In the effort to avoid being outdone by
older and more robust companions. In
Infancy the almost Incessant move
ments of a baby's limbs show how Im
perative la the Instinct of nature tor
muscular exercise. Hence it Is Im
portant not to restrict too much th
freedom of Infants, and care should be
taken to prevent their clothing being
too tight to allow ample freedom for
the limbs. Even the cry of a young
child Is often useful as a means of ex
ercising the muscles of the chest, ind
In moderation must not be discouraged.
The best muscular exercise for young
children, says a well known writer, is
the movement to which tbey are led by
their natural playfulness. They, If
left to themselves, will run, tumble and
wrestle with each other like sportive
kittens. Each limb and every muscle
of their bodies will by turns rise and
fall, swell, contract and perform all
the actions of which they are capable.
Tbcy are haroly at rest a momcnt.nr.d
each movement I hey make la of '.hj
freest and most prueeful kind. No'h
Ing can be more favornMe for the first
development of the muscular system,
and, In fact, for vigorous growth and
sound health, than the motions of a
child In the free Indulgence of Its play
ful moods. During childhood and youth
efforts should be made to exercise ev
ery Important muscle of the body,
each In Its turn, so aa to secure for
all a complete and symmetrical devel
opment and consequently robust
health.
