Electrocution a* a mean* of executing murderers is not yet accepted by foreign experim*ntalite a* n*c***arily a lure metnod. Recently Prof, d' Arsouval report- ed to the French Academy of Science an electric- wir* accident witnessed by Picou and Maurice Leblano, which became note- worthy from the fact of the successful employment of artificial respiration tn resuscitate th* victim. A sudden sparkling or. on* ot th* dynamo* of th* electric-light station of St. Denis, near Paris, radiaated a abort circuit en th* line. The dyn.mo wa* quickly cut out and stopped. The voltmeter reading wa* 4,500 volt* between two wire*, and the ammeter read 750 mille-ampere* on th* wire. Tb* accident occurred at a place where the three wire* were lupported eighteen jeet above ground on a bracket fastened to a stone wall. The bracket t-rried several cross-piecei, and on ihe lowest on* *at tb* laborer who had received the shock, holding the conductor with one hand. H* had been sent up to fasten a telegraph wire* had touched the live wire with the wire he held, and thai short circuited the curront through hi* hand and back to earth. The man had therefore received, a 4,500-volt currant of fifty-five alternation* per second perhap* for several minutes, and when he I* found fully a quarter ot an hour had elapsed since he received the shock. He gave no sign of life, and it took another half hour to remove him from hi* perilou* position and (tretch him on ths ground. The attempt was at once made to cause th* lung* to act by moving th* arms al- ternately np and down, but without avail. Th* mouth wa* then forcibly opened and the u>ngu was pulled out and allowed to recede. This being the best method of producing respiration artificially, the lung* actually began tboir function* almost immediately. Two hours later ths man wa* abl* to speak. H* had burn* on hi* hand and back, but otherwise not injured. Commenting upon the** facts. Prof, d' Arsouval considers electrocution objec- tionable and of doubtful effect. Another field of *xpei imtnt in whioh meet interesting results hav* been attained i* that instituted by Dr. J. Kratter, of (iraz, Aiutria. Hi* researches extend to the physiological and pathological sttectsi on th* animal organism of current* of 'J.OOO volte or leu*. He experimented on white mice, rabbit*, guinea pin, oate and dog*, and in hi* juit published paper, read before the International Medical Congnes, at Rom*, hi* conclusions are tha* itated : The death of the animal* resulted meetly from th* midden stoppage or primary cessation of the respiration. The functional disturbance lasted in some assss a sufficient length of time after the end of the irritation to pro-lues Heath by suffocation. During the eiphjxia th* heart action still continu- ed, bat if th* respiration i* allowed to Hop for about two minutes secondary cessation of the heart action ensues, the sam* a* in ca*s* of nMohanical suffocation. Not in- frequently, however, an animal would poataneouily begin to breathe again and would fully recover after awhile. Dr. Kratter believe* that danger of an electric shock for th* animal organism appears to inoreas* in degree with the higher development ot the Drain and the central nerve nyitem. In thii way ha ex- plain* th* death of man by current* whioh do not effect rabbit* or guinea pigs, though both electrodes be fastened to the head. In none of th* animal* was it possible to produce experimentally the protracted and gradual diminution of th* function* of th* heart which was observed in the case of tb* laborer. Nor wa* it possible to detect anatomical change* which might have been the can** of death. Th* doc- tor supposes that molecular, perhaps chemical changes, take* ploc* in th* gang lion cells of the lungs and heart, and is now following up this clue with experi- ments. It is characteristic of European justioe that the manager and the superintendent of the electric company whoa* wir** caused th* accident to tii* laborer, were held for contributory n*gligsnce and were sent to jail. Taureg* and other hostile trade* made a or tie, and were oat to pica** by the Arab*.

Why Stone Heaps Kill Trees. The commonly observed tact that a pile* of stones around a tree is sure death U> it i* thu* explained by American Cultivator : There are a variety of causes. Stone heap* make a> harbor for mice, which burrow in the loose soil under the heap, and bark the trees under shelter of the stones. Apple a/iti pear tree* ar* often destroyed thu* in fact, nearly all kind* of tree*, when urrounded by itone heaps, are sure to be more or leas denuded of their bark. But a pile of stones around an oak or a butternut i* naually fatal to it if k*pt two or three yearn, though the hark ol these tree* is never eaten by mice. Th* reason in this ca*e i* thsl the stones make a mulch arou;id the trees, encouraging the growth of roots in warm weather clone to the car face of the ground, but in winter th* stone heap is no protection against deep freezing, and the destruction of of the tender, suc- culent roots of the tree near the surface seriously injure* it, Th* repetition of th . process three or four years in succession usually finishes the tree. Value of Pedigree. A man ihould take the pedigree of hi* stock and stud}' it well an<l if he finds there is good material back of it it is best to keep | it, if he tinils it is infurior he mint weed it out and wemu*t all be not only good dairy- men but goou agriculturists to understand that, word " weed." It applies not only to tint aardvn but to 'he stable and cattle a* well as everything else on the farm. So we> see there is an actual money value in podi gree. We shall find that the man who will study it anil will take a pedigree bull and plaoe that animal at the head of his herd, will in time build it upand will strengthen every animal therein. If hn will take the offspring of that animal ami breed them back to him fixing his type on the second generation of calves and going still further search for pedigree rich in milk produc- tion snd breed the** cow* on that second animal hr will find he has indeed struck a mine of wealth. The Private Dairy. Thsre is no issue nor can there be any between good butter made on the farm, ami that mad* in the associative creamery. The true issue is again* t poor butter everywhere, ptor cows, ignorance sad ill considered method*, whether in th* creamery or on th* faun, and the conaequent waite of labor ard profit ID either.
