Horrors of a Death 8ntno In
Middl. Ages In Boh.mia.
How many people know what re fen
estration means? Yet It was once a
popular method of executing criminals
and was the mode of capital punish
ment used in Bohemia In the middle
ages and later. Defenestration means
throwing from a window," but that
did not always Include all the arrange
ments made for the doomed man's
exit from the world.
In Prague in 1419 the council cham
ber of the hradscbln, or town ball, was
used as the place of execution. There,
in the presence of the assembled no
bles, their invited guests and the dig
nitaries of the city, the unhappy
wretches were cast from a window
eighty feet to the courtyard below.
If his crime was an ordinary of
fense the prisoner was merely dropped
on the stones and allowed to lie there
bruised and broken until death put an
end to his sufferings, succor being for
bidden.
But if be was guilty of treason or
any act of violence against a noble he
fell on the sharp spears of a squad of
soldiers or dropped to the tender mer
cies of a pack of fierce dogs specially
trained for the purpose, or be might
be flung to wild boars previously en
raged by being pricked with spears.
The last time defenestration was
practiced was Just before the Thirty
Years' war, when the Imperial com
missioners brought an unwelcome mes
sage to Prague and were promptly
thrown from the window. This pre
cipitated the war and abolished the
custom. New York Tress.
Executioner Sets a Fashion.
In England fashions have been kill
ed at executions, but in France over a
century ago fashion in men's attire
was set by Sanson, the public execu
tioner. Sanson, who bad high ideas of
the dignity of his office, was famous
for the richness of his attire when offi
ciating on the scaffold. Just before
the revolution he was forbidden to
wear blue, the nobleman's color, and
by way of protest be made himself
even more gorgeous. He took to green,
and that color, as well as the peculiar
cut of bis clothes, was adopted by
many of the young dandles of the

or electric charges. Matter
closely vanishes in matterless
The secret of the universe Is the
secret of electricity.
"The New Knowledge" is tho term
used for designating the revelations
which came with the study of radi
um and radioactivity. "The New
Knowledge" has taught us that mat
ter lead, stone, wood, hydrogen, ox
ygen, everything and anything which
we call matter is nothing but elec
tricity. An atom of hydrogen consists of a
thousand "electrons" mere charges
of electricity. An atom of lead con
sists of some hundreds of thousands
of such "electrons." That is why hy
drogen is so light and lead so heavy.
Each is drawn to that great mass of
matter, the earth, in proportion to the
number of electric charges which try!
to join the great mass of electric
charges which make up the earth.
That Is the law of gravitation. Is it
all a question of electricity.
We ourselves are nothing but col
lections of "electrons" of many sorts.

studied
electricity.
We ought not to be- astonished
therefore, says an editorial writer In
the Louisville Herald when we learn
that the ever mysterious Nikola Tes
la, the electricain philosopher, is to
have charge of an electrical school
room in New York, which will ' be
filled with electric waves of enor
mous voltage and frequency, but low
volume or amperage, for the purpose
of determining whether or not the
minds and bodies of the backward
pupils in the room will be Invigorated.
Teachers and pupils will all be invlg
orated. Teachers and pupils will all
be ignorant of the experiment. Tes
la expects to see a marked growth in
the mental and physical vigor of these
children.
There is an otnclal report of a
Swedish school in which children in
an electrified schoolroom gained in
growth during the experiment twice
as fast during some months as did
those In the other rooms. This result
was physical, not mental. In various
places experiments have been made
by stringing over gardens and . fields
wires carrying high-tension currents
of this sort, and as a result the veg
etables and crops grew with greater
rapidity. We ought not to be sur
prised if the Tesla experiment in elec
trilied schoolrooms produces marked
results.
Electricity is life. Electricity is
love, hate, despair, thought, religion,
all the passions, all the functions of
the soul so far as those functions
are Inseparable from matter. The
secret of the universe is In it.

FOR USING

COUNTRY FRIED HAM.
Use the toaster stove plate turned
upside down so as to form a trays
Turn on the current and allow tho
toaster stove to stand until the tray
becomes very hot.
Put in thin slices of raw or boiled
ham and turn frequently. When near
ly done, sprinkle with pepper and
pour a half teaspoonful of water on
each slice.
MAN FROM ELECTRICAL STAND
POINT. Some inventive genius has discov
ered that the average man dissipates !
about 25-kilowatt hours of energy a
Jay In motion, muscular action, mental
exertion and heat radiation. This Is
equivalent. It is said, to a continuous
expenditure at a rate of about one
hundred watts, or the rating of a
1-8-horscpower motor. In spite of his
high body temperature 98.6 degrees
Fahrenheit and large radiating sur
face, man's heat losses are surprising
ly small about 50 watt hours an
hour, or about one-half of the total
energy expenditure. As a heating de
vice the average man Is thus about
equal to a 16-candle-power carbon
filament lamp.

THE NEW WIRELESS TELE
GRAPH LAW.
Senator William Alden Smith's bill
Introduced shortly after the Titanic
disaster, requiring all vessels carrying
fifty or more passengers to have at
least two wireless operators so that
one may be on duty at all times went
Into effect on October 1, 1912.
The wireless apparatus must be
powerful enough to receive and trans
mit messages at least 100 miles, and
each vessel must have an auxiliary
source of energy supply independent
of the ship's main electric plant to
maintain communication. On cargo
carrying vessels one first-class oper
ator will be required, but another
nifimber of the crew will be required
to understand the transmission of
distress signls.

COOL PIGS.
A small boy who was enjoying his
first trip to th country stood for
several minutes watching a large
windmill In the vicinity of the barn.
Finally, he ventured, "Gee, mister,
you've got a fine electric fan for your
pigs."
A horse power Is a mechanical
term and is the energy required to
ruise 33,000 pounds one foot In one
minute. Expressed In electrical terms
it is equal to 746 watts or approxi
mately three-fourths of a kilowatt.
