Electricity Modern writers in treat
iuk-ui. luis biuguiar suDstance. hi suJ- !
stance it be) have found it convenient to I
consider it hs divisible into three general
heads; combined or accumulated, medical
and voltaic electricity. f . j
Medical, electricity, rests upon the fact
of the animal body being:a conductor,
and is only the transmission of the elec
tric fluid throughiny part, by brino-in
w,,n,n lhe circuit, between the- outside
ind inside surface of a chareed iar.
Thus, if a person grasp the outer coating
in liislctt hand, and bring his right hand
to touch the wire from the inner coating,
of a Leyden Jar, he forms a conducting
circuit, and the charge will pass through
ins arms across his chest. ' To act upon
the delicate textures of4 tire eye, the
nuin snouia De received wih ivnrW
v Xrf
point. Like many .other remedies
e e :lncity has been prop s d as a cure
lor every, malady; and alter bfmg scarcely
trusted to in any case;- hasat length full
en principally into the,hands of tlio em-
pine. 1 lie experiment ot raising! a kite
is very hazardous, and cannot teach us
any more than vfcat is already known.
Its action is simple; the kilo readies the
thunder-cloud highly charged with dec
tricity, and the lightning passes through
a thin copper wire, twisted in the! string:,
ending with a silk cord, to preserve the
experiment, i he electricity of clouds is
obtained from the earth during evapora
tion; and they are sometimes possessed of
negative anu sometimes oi- the positive
electricity, and all the appearance of light
uitig are caused by these two passing to
recover the balance. When two clouds,
in opposite .states, approach sufficiently
near to each other, a spark of lightning
darts between them, and produces the
beautiful phenornena of sheet lightning.
A cloud, within what is termed the stri
king distance, discharges itself to the
earth by a spark, tliat is, from its appear
ance. called the zigzag on forked light
ning. Tbis from of the spark results
Irom the unevenness of the rceiving sur
face, as the mountains trees, (fccJ alTord
on the earth.
When a thunder cloud is passing over
an individual iu open space, as a field
or moor, it is best to lie flat dowBhe
cause standing up brings the head near r
to the cloud, and solicits the nhrtrir dis
charge; besides, the passage of the fluid
lurougu me orain. anu spine s
much
more dangeroasr5 than it is throu
h the
.body generally, i Sometimes persons are
killed by lightning, without having been
struck by the flash. In this case it is the
returning stoke, as it is termed,! which
proves fatal. Its explamation is beauti
ful; a cloud, highly charged, say positive
ly; hangs over an iudividual, but not
near enough to strike him; . however, it
drives all the positive electricityj in hi
body down towards his" foe!, leaving his
head strongly negative, when tho cloyld
is jsuddenly dicharged by some neighbor
ing body, a tall tree, for evjsmple, the pos
itive electricity rushes back into his head
with sufficient power to urrest the ner
vous function, and, eoiseqtienlIy, to. des
troy life.- The siniTnr phenonienon, of
ten observed in Italy, of .he lighlhing
streaming from clouds into the crater of a
volcano, as they pass over it, ainses from
the ready passage which the heated air
proceeding from the crater affords to e
lectricity. . During a thunder storm it is
dangerous to carry any metallic body I
higher than the head, as an Umbrella fe
rtile, because metal affords such a ready
passage to lightning, that" as it were, so-
i licit its approach. For a similar reason,

Soult, the Premier of the new Trench
cabinet, is now nearly sity-four y ers of j
age,' having been, born on the vylh ot
March, 1760. He is a native of St. A

entered; int? the army as a private I at six

years ol age. At the . battle of Atcn
Kireken, soon 'afterwards, : he made that
memornble defence and retreat' which ac
cuired him so much reputation. He had
been despatched to the left of (the army
with' three" baltallions, and one hundred
and tifty cavalry; In the mean lime i

teajy summened to surrender, he rallied
his forces and repulsed several general
charges of the enemy, and finally carried
hii trois safely to rejoin the army. Ho
aso di sting uithed himself at the battle of
Fleurus. ,
After the pence , of Coinpo Formio;
concluded by Bon.iparte, Joubert was
appointed to the. new army of the Rhine,
Soult was made a treuerat of division nH
employed in suppressing the disturban
ces in cwiizenand. lie
next servpd in
Italy under Massena, and was shut up
with him in Genoa. Here it tvas that
he first attTacted the attention of Napo-
leon. Massena was asked by Napeleon,
wno oniy Knew oult by report, what waa.
his repjUtution: "For judgment and
courage,- replied Massena, -he. has no
superior," The almost immediate issuo
of this recommendation was the appoint-,
rnent to the command of the Chasseurs
of the Consular Guard, and subsequent
ly the command of the army encauiptcd t
at Boulogne, intended for the invasion of
England. In 1304, at the age of thirty
five, ho was created a Marshal of france.
Soult commanded the centre at' the
battle of AusterftT! Wh
was giving hrsinstructons he &aid to,
Soult, 'Mslor you, act as you always do.".
U nas on that occasion that he delay
ed obey ing the commands of the Empe
ror to attack the heights of Pratztn, un
til they had been repeated several times,
and Bonaparte expressed indignation at
his disobedience. "Tell the Emperor,"
replied Soult. "that I will obey but not
just now." He was watching "the'toove
ments of the Russians, and when he did
attack, the triumph was complete. Bo
uaparte, who had seen the inauccuvre
rode up to him in the presence of
whole staff, and said "Marshal, J estetti
you the ablest tactician in niy ernuiro.'
Ater the battle of Ey la u, be was crcaiud
Duke of Dalmatia. " -
In 1808 he was sent into Spain, where
ho .continued for five years, wiih littla
