"The London Times state• t.iit the number of Jews killed, men, women and children, was between (10 and 70, and the number of those seriously Injured, men, women and children, le estimated at about 500.

These Crimes have been committed in Christian Russia, by a Christian rabble, eupported and participated In by Russian officials. "This barbaric holocaust which has taken place In a populous city of one hundred and forty thousand in- habitante appeals for redress, not to the Jews throughout the world, but to the civilized world; not to those professing the religion of the slaughtered, but to those profeseing Ude religion of the slaughterers.

Remarkable Results Achieved With the latest Electrical Invention. Naw York, May 2:. --Ono of the must Interesting and important scd- en(ilh experiments that have Iver been performed has Just been coin. pietist In the laboratory of Thomas A. Edison, Jun., at No. 1 t Stone street, New York. The experiment had for Its purposo the measurement of the exact extent to which young Bir. l iison's famous Invention, the llabito-Elcotriu Vitaliser, was able to stimulate and aselst the brain In Its mental processes. The tests were mode by applying the molts of the Mttgno-11cuulu \halter to ono of two students chosen from the third - year clays of Net' York University. The second stutleut dtd not wear the uppliauce. C. To won etadentt there was pro- pounded a problem of moderhte d:ffl- eulty, steps having peen taken to measure by suitable apparatus the exalt period of time occupied by the mental response of the subject. Upon comparing the result of ten such triols It was found that the average Improvement In the mental response of the studeat who wore the Magno- Electric Vilallzer was 3d-10 seconde quicker than that of the other ste- wed -1n other words, that young 11(101(111'11 invention enabled the wearer To Think More Quickly than was possible without the :lid of tho appliance. The same experiment was made with Public school pupils from the second grammar grade. These chil- dren yielded similar results. • Scientifically and practically,young Mr. Edleon's experiment Is expected, to have greet rosette, the more so as it hae just been discovefed that all tiro brain precewtes of thought and coneotouetros, are of electrical Char- acter. It le consequently predicted that theMagno-Electric Vitalizer will exon be In as general use In the schools Ind colleges of the United Slates as 111 the hoop`s. Tito itpp'i- nnce has already demonstrated thur- eaghly Its 1100 P1' to control and ours such intractable eiiseaees 00 1000010* tor ataxia, chronic rheumatism, con- sumption, nervous prostration, kid- ney double and similar complaints„ and now that its now prep:TUee aft it brain tonin have been tested there seeute to be no limit to its sphere of action. Perhaps the best evidence of the great value of young Dir. Edison'st famous Invention Is afforded by the recent attempt of a coterie of Wall. street mel to pnrohnso the patent and manufacturing righte of the dis- covery for $750,000. The Inventor, It le said, absolately deoltned the neer. because he know the purchasere In- tended to exploit the Vitaliser at the expanse of the public. For pillion-, thfopto reasons the younger Edison, wishes to keep the price of the Vit- aliser as low au possible, so that every silk person may be able to ole. tato Lis help. The inventor's Statement. Widen' young Mr. Edison was seen a t his laboratory yesterday he said: "Months ago 1 demonstrated that perfect Monti was dependent upon. the electrical condition of the spinal. cora. The Vitalizer cures dieettee by supplying the natural electric dome. to trio nervtfe. In addition to tide I have Just proved that the Vitalizer le a powerful brain tonic. It enables a. mss to think quicker. It great tioreases mental ufertnoss and en- ergy.
