A piece of skate in this "gamey"
condition has been placed in a, closed
glass vessel, through which an elec-
tric wire loosed. After the gas
had been allowed to accumulate for
a short time, the current was swit0lr

vessel was blown to the other side
of the table upon which the experi-
ment was being conducted.
It Is easy, therefore, to imagine the
highly explsivo nature of the human
