The process in question is very simple, scarcely any apparatus being required beyond an ordinary two-cell battery, with vibrator attach ment. This attachment is a thin strip of metal, fastened at the ends, which is made to vibrate electric current. At each vibration the circuit a thousand or more times per second by the is cut off and renewed again, the effect being to give a perfectly steady flow of the mysterious fuld. In order to make sure that the Row is quite satisfactory the operator tunes the machine, assisted by a little reed tuning-pips, until the strip of metal sings "A. So far, so good. Now, to the battery are attached three wires. Two of them have handles at the ends, and a third is hitched to a forceps. The patient in the chair is given a handle to hold in cach hand and the current is turned on gradually until it becomes painful. Then he is told 10 grasp the handles as strongly as possible, the electricity, having been switched off for a mo- ment, is turned on again suddenly and the dental surgeon applies his forceps simultaneously

A TEST OPIUM CASE.

At the Police Court, this afternoon, before Mr. Pollock, a shopkeeper and a sampan woman wern again, brought up on a charge of being in possession of raw opium in quantities of less than a cheat-namely 1,400 taels. Mr. Johnson prosecuted on behalf of the Crown, and Mr. Caldwell defended. The question" at issue was whether the oplum was raw or not, and affected the whole export question.

Ho Aming, draper, said :—I was engaged in the opiam business over twenty years, until last year, in fact. I was the sole partner of the Chang Su firm, which dealt in raw opium. I used to buy and sell raw opium, both Patna tell by its being thicker and different to the taste. and Malwa. The opium in Court is raw; I can

Mr. Johnson asked for an adjournment at this point, to procure the attendance of other experts. He said that it was difficult to get them to attend, as they would have to testify against a strong combination, and did not like to come.

The case was again adjourned.

Adjournmen's for dinner and over night and for Sunday made their work easy The longest speech on record is probably the one made by Mr. De Cosmos, a member of the Legislature of British Columbia, some time ago. A bill was pending, which, if passed, would deprive many settlers of their lands, and the temper of the majority made it certain that it would pass. The Legislature was within a day and a half of the hour of its final adjournment and the vote was about to be taken. At this juncture De Cosmos arose to address the body.. It was to o'clock in the morning, and the members thought that he would finish in an hour or two. The clock struck 11, 12 and 7, but the speaker kept right on. How long would be speak? The members in a spirit of fun omitted to adjourn for dinner, but De Cosmos spoke on without a break. At 6 o'clock he was still on the floor. He was forced by the Speaker to stick to the question, and was not allowed to pause except to take a drink of water. The majority decided to continue the session through the night, slipping out in small parties to car and sleep. Still, without faltering, the orator poured forth his torrent of words. This was the situation at midnight; and also when the morning sun flooded the ball with the light of day, As the hour band of the clock pointed to 12 the limit prescribed by law for the session had arrived, and the Legislature stood adjourned sine dle.
