Electricity, therefore. modifies the tissues and liquids of the living body when it traverses them, either by provoking certain chemical or by suspending or disturbing the nutrition of the blood-vessels and Tnerves. “These facts are perhaps not easily eXplained, but they .are undeniable, and although the laws that govern them remain hidden in obscurity they none the less manifest themselves by, visible and tangible effects, one of the ‘ most common of which is decolora- tion. “It is extremeiy rare that in the cases noted above of the surgical use oli electricity, it does not leave a scar 80 distinct that it alters the color of the skin, on which appears a white spot of considerable Size.

The action of the electric current in leaving. whibe scars on the skin when it! is used with the needle in minor surgical operations has suggested to some one. that it may destroy the pig- ment cells and hence, applied on a large scale, might be able to whiten. a. negro's skin. This theory is set forth in a somewhat sprightly fashion, by M. Emile Gautier, the French scien- tist.
