TESTS OF ELECTRICTSHOCKS Effect af Coatact with Wires af Vary ing; Veltace, with Caatlea arr Hint. The fact that one has received a shock from a 600 volt circuit that did not prove painful Is not a sign that the next one will be equally harmless. The following .ex periments ' have been made. Involuntarily, by a great number of people. Touch one side of the circuit lightly with the finger while making contact with the other aide either through a ground or by actually touching It; the sensation Is similar to receiving a violent blow In the chest; a small burn that Is deep, but not painful, will be found on the finger where contact was made. Make a better contact, as by touching the circuit with a piece of metal held firmly In the hand, and the blow will be strong enough to knock the experimenter down. It I probable that no burn will result, aa the current ha a large surface through which to enter the hand; in rare case the person may become unconscious for a short time. Grasp the wire firmly In the hand, and for a time at least It will be Impossible to release It. Serious burns are made where the wire touches the hand, and unless the victim succeeds In wrenching himself free or help I quickly rendered, the result Is likely to prove fatal. The last case Is of a very rare occur rence; It Is pretty sure to obtain consider able space In the dally paper when It actually does occur, while In many of the reports seen the victim may exclaim, with Mark Twain, "Account of my death greatly exaggerated." On the other hand, people re knocked down by the current every day. It Is rather peculiar that the 600 volt shack will, In the majority of cases, kill horse. The trolley current 1 a 600 volt circuit. with the exception of perhaps half a doxen line recently Installed which go to 1,000 or over. It Is well to remember In case of a falling trolley wire that standing upon a dry board will give full protection, that while sitting In a car there la no danger of shock from a broken wire or other cause If one doe not touch metal or wet wood; raising the feet from the floor that may be wet or dirty will do aa an additional pre caution. If one wishes to remove a wire to avoid shock or for other reasons, It may be done with safety while standing upon a dry, clean board, with a piece of dry board not large enough to stand oh, or with several thicknesses of dry paper (a newspaper), or, in case of emergency, a bundle of dry clothing. As it Is difficult to get the latter perfectly dry. a, shock may be received when thl Is attempted, but the resistance will be ao high that the shock will not be very severe. The deadly third rait alio operate at 600 volt and 1 no more deadly than haa been already shown, except for the probability of a person who Is thrown down by the hock of falling across the rail and becom lng unconscious. Thl of course Is as seri ous a case even as that of the man who I unable to let go of the wire, Wires used for street lighting may always be regarded with suspicion; they are ex ceedingly likely to carry a current of 2,000 volts or more. This will, in moat cases. give a fatal current, and the pressure is so great that the precaution prevloualy de scribed are not to be depended upon. One would be reasonably safe, however tf standing upon a chair or stool with per fectly dry wooden leg. A wire of 1.000 volt or more are quite common In the streets, there are many chance for other wires to come In contact with them and so receive a dangerous cur rent. It I therefore unwise for an Inex perienced, person to touch any outdoor wire, however harmless it may appear. ii nee ior transmitting power across country operate on voltages all the way up to 69,000. Precautions are taken with aucii wirea ana special warnings are printed on the poles. Line of 10,000 volt or over may be recognised by the fact that large clay or porcelain Insulator are used la place of the glass one generally seen. Persons rendered unconscious by a shock msy frequently be revived by inducing arunciai respiration In the manner used for reviving person apparently drowned: but, of course, without the attempt to expel water from the lungs.-Caler' Magailne.

TAFrS STORY OF JAPAN Secretary Telle af Dellarat'al Gipe. rleaee la the I.aad af the Mikado. Secretary Taft's story of his tour around the world In the National Magazine con tains these details of Ms visit to Japan: The most hospitable and delightful cour tesy was shown the American visitors throughout their stay In Japan. The em peror placed the palace of Shlba, in Toklo, with its beautiful gardens and lake, at the disposal of his Amerlcsn guests, and the stay was memorable for novelty and In tereat. Although neither the emneror nor the empress apeak English, their sym pathetic attention proved that there Is a universal language which all mankind un derstands. If the men and women of the United States who have aeen suggestions of differences between the two nation analyzed at length, might have experi enced the genuineness of the Japanese wel come and the warmth of their hospitality. there would have been Inatant agreement that the subjects on which we are In ac cord 'far outnumber and outweigh those on which we may have slightly different opinion. At a dinner tendered by the city of Toklo to the American guet. 900 leaders of Japanese thought. Including many high of ficial, were present. Large nuumhers seemed to fully understand the English language, and the responses to sentiment of good feeling between the two nation were Instantaneous and enthusiastic. The lake near which the palace Is situ ated is a famous fishing; water, contain ing large numbers of the fine little Jap anese perch. Here, in thl beautiful gar den, the empress Is accustomed to spend much of her time, and occasionally she enjoys fishing for the little Inhabitants of the rocky pool. No American small boy could withstand the opportunity which this nearby pond afforded for a bit of sport. It was remarked that Charlie seemed to be catching a surprising number of the fishes, and on Investigation it developed that there had been a Judicious tip quietly furnished the employe charged with the duty of feeding the fishes by which he waa encouraged to forget to feed them. The sport thereupon greatly Improved. There Is a fascination about Japan which Is felt by every traveler within its borders.

Its prompt adoption of the best in the civilisation of the younger west Is a brilliant Indication of versatility which the Yank cannot fall to respect and ad mire. While over and about all I a mellow unshlne of atmosphere, artistic, stimulat ing and soothing, which la potent to every sympathetic vieltor. It Is not hard to un derstand the loyalty of the Japanese for their own wonderful land, their pride in it historic past and their hope for its large future.

C. 8chwart of Wheaton. 111., lay dying, and continued their merry making even after the death of the child, fifty member of the Young Men' odallty of St. Michael German Catholic church of Wheaton find themselves practical out casts from Wheaton society. The Rev. William Dclaporte, pastor of the church, ha formally disbanded the so ciety, composed of the younger members of the congregation, and In a scathing sermon from the pulpit, held them up 4o their elder as hearties and deserving of condemnation. . The stern words of Father Delaporte and his order for i the dlsbandment of the sodality and against the young men and women joining any other society until his ban be raised, aa a penance for their ac tion, have aroused Catholic circles In Whea ton. Almost without exception the older members of the congregation have atood with the pastor. The thoughtlessness of the young people and their disregard for the suffering of the dying child, and of the feeling of the parents, were the cause of the priest's order. , On the night of March 6. the little clifd lay dying In her father' home. Through the thin partition of the adjoining room came the laughter and gayety of a crowd of young people gathered about the card table. There were snatches of music, and the banter of the winner a the ringing of a bell signified the end of a game at the head table and the partners changed. About the bedside of the child were the doctor, the father, and the mother, as they battled for the life of the little girl. The child ha a severe attack of croup, and they were resorting to all the remedies known for its cure. A the child seemed to be sinking, the mother said: "Can't you go and tell those people to go home? I believe the excitement makes her worse." The father went outside and called some of the member of the party aside to tell them of his trouble. They refused to com ply with his request, ss the party was a paid affair, and they declared that they could not put those who were attending to so much Inconvenience after receiving the sum of 60 cents apiece from them for an evening pleasure. About 9 o'clock the little child died. The party was still In full swing. Beneath the same roof, separated only by a few laths and plaster, were revelry and death. With the laughter of the young Christiana went up the sorrowing cry of the mother as the soul of her child paased awsy. Father Delaporte demanded that the young men In the sodality apologize to the parents of the dead child. This they refused to do, as they declared' that they did no wrong, and just at present the matter Is at an lsaue between the priest and certain of his parishioners. Chicago Inter Ocean.
