This being done, desire him to tell you the amount, and, having thrown out 20, the remainder will be a number consisting of two figures, the first of which, to the left, is the number of points on the first die, and the second figure, to the right, the number on the other. Thus: Suppose the number of points of the first die which comes up to be 2 und that of the other 3. Thenif to 4, the double of the points of the first, there be added 5, and the sum produced, 9, be multiplied by 5, the product will be 45; to which if 3, the number of points on the other die, be added 48 will be produced, trom which, 1f 25 be substracted, 23 will remain, the first figure of which is 2, the number of points on the first die, and the second figure 3, the number on the second die.

Can a persoz become filled with electricity, either by being struck by lightning or by handling a galvanic battery? is a question askel bya correspondent and answered in Popular Science News, as follows: This isa widespread. error, based upon a false idea of the nature of electricity, which is not a material substance, but a condition of matter. If properly insulated, the human body can be electrically excited; but nothing passes into it, and, as soon as contact is made with the earth, the charge passes away. It is as absurd to say that a person is “filled” with electricity, as it would be to say that he is filled with heat or light. Jas, W. Bard ey umber Dealer cels.
