The Tadpole in Science.! . .. - - At tbo close of tbo last cratury Galvani astonished tbo world with-' the experiments ho performed on frogs. There is jno doubt but what his-worir, as far as the development of engineering wasj concerned, almost retarded the progress, at least for a very short time.jbut he 1ms opened a field which to future generations may bo of "as much, possibly of more, importance than j lall the )ractical ap plications of electricity today. Wo refer to the physiological effects of the electric currents. " Now, as wo approach tbo end of another century, another experiment on tadpoles has j been madel which in our minds eye may have tremen. dous consequence. Dr. Waller has observed that tadpoles. face the posi tive pole when ah electric current is sent through the trough in which they live.! This j is certainly a re markable fact, and wo hope sincere ly that, this matter may not be taken up as a matter of ridicule or of play, for thero may jbo hidden jin -this simple experimental fact a vast deal of knowledge; not that wo want to prophesy,' but oh tbo face of it it does not jseera impossible tbat this simple fact should be the pqramenco ment of a knowledge of electro-phys-iology, which in 100; y cars ' from now might in perfection; be second to nono of. our descriptive sbionctis.i Max Ostcrberg ih Elccrrici Power. :1 "1 S w M t ', Sri .- . ; v .

Tho prison at Kncxvillo wa3 a ; strong ; iron ; "cage j in a big room, whose window had no sign of a glass, ami through the long winter Clark and Reynolds were confined there. For several months they suf fered tho. agonies of the damned. At last, a tho time for Iteynolds' exe cution approached, ifc was noticed that ho was going crazy. Clark de clares to this day that Reynolds did not touch a morsel of food for.tbrco .weeks. He would moan and sigh ami twirl his thnmbs' after tho man ner of a crazy person, recognize no one and laugh insainely in Clark's face whenever ho tried to console him. Clark was sure of his insanity. -Army surgeons and local physicians passed upon, the case,' and Reynolds was finally discharged as a lunatic. Clark's friends finally secured his release and hurried him out1 of Knoxville.

Reaching a house in a dense forest, they stopped and asked him to fol low them to a back room. Tho halls were darkened, and in the room there was only the light of a candle.
