ELECTRICAL EXECUTIONS

Ones more the tub j act of eleott'esl ex ecotlona is tip for discussion, and It cannot be said that the lateat develop ment are very enooaraging. It appears that an application was made to Me Edison for advice as to the bb»t manner of carry ing oat the provisions of the law, and that certain experiments were undertaken at the Orange Laboratory by Mr Batohelor and Mr Kennelly, with the object of as certaioing as far as possible what was the effect on animal organisms of a strong abook sharply administered. A dog waa utilized as a victim, and was placed f.n the the oltoalt of an alternating machine giving a potential somewhere m the neighbourhood of 2000 volts. The dog did not realise his grave position, bat the moment the clroalt waa closed he fell M dead as a doornail. The actual time of execution waa two seconds. A notable incident was the flowing cf blood from the ears of the dog ; «nd another featnre that strook many of the observers was the extreme difficulty of keeping the dog In attitude to receive the shook. Al though the experiments were as humane as the case allowed, the results were altogether ouch aa to dissuade one from the advooioy of such electrical executions with human beings. At the same time

doei not follow that the execution of human beings need be so horrible m Us at tendant circumstances. Mr Edison sag gested that It would be enough to manacle the criminal io haadouffj attached to tbe respective polea of the dynamo, preferably an alternating machine. Mr Kannelly was pretty nuuoh of the same opinion, believing that it would be rather hard to accomplish the it landed results very ■peedily or effectively with the proposed eleotrioa) chair. —• * Electrician.

A FALLEN SISTER

The following touching poem, which displeya great literary ability, appears Id the Danedia "Star "over the signature tI J, O'M, Auckland." Thesa are the inltila of Mr Joieph O'Moagher, solicitor, foctneray of Oamaru, and new of the Qaeen Olty of the North, to whom we think we are right m attributing the authorship : — Oat m the silent Btreet, Drenched with the blinding rain ; Blistered sore are her feet, Backed are her joints with pain ; Sits she on a cold doorstep, Trying m vain to rest : Clasps she closely and fondly Her baby to her breast. Drooping, forlorn, dejeoted, Oh ! how she trembles now. Frail, and bo unprotected. All for a broken tow. Thinks she, as baby slumber'd, O'er joys for ever fled, Frayi they may Boon be number'd Peacefully with the dead. . Thinks with a frozen shiver, Thinks of a home of love, Thinks of the deep dark river, Dreams of the realms above. Clobo to her bosom presses Poor little baby's head ; Vain are her fond caresses ; Knows not her child is dead. Gone is that pride of beauty When she was young and fair, Falt'ring not m her duty ; Stranger to worldly care. Dresßed in -the height of fashion, Guileless and free from art ; Victim of human passion, Dies with a broken heart. Dies with no friend or brother With her to sympathise, No tender, loving mother Closing her death-glazed eyeß. Have they no human pity For her they onoe reviled ? Send her to Waikomiti, Off with mother and child. Never a soul to lave her, Tho' it's too late to save, But there's a God above her Taking the life he gave. Gone is the gentle spirit mSir Into the " novermore," "" Leaving her lifeless body Stretohed at her father's door. Binned more against than sinning, Banished without good cause, Bread precluded from winning, Cura'd by our social laws. Sneer at your fallen sister Pious, church-going dame, Shedding no tears that blister Over that sister's shame. Women with happy obildren, Women with daughters fair, Ponder, upon their future, Think of it if you dare. Here is a solemn warning, Here is a fruitful theme, Sorely no theme for scorning, - Surely no idle dream, Oh I are you Cbrirtians human, Woman, and maid, and man ? Here was an erring woman Under your sooial ban. 8 What had she done that others May not have done before ? Think of her, heartless mothers, Dead at her father's door. But there's a great good Father, s Merciful m his power, Who will his children gather, E'en m their darkest hour, Banishing earthly sorrow, Washing all stain away, Dawns there a sunlit morrow, d Blissful, eternal day, Is J.O'M. d Auckland, Augupt 20.

CAN A SLEEPING LEGISLATOR VOTE.

Whilst the Assembly were discussing the Ohineße Immigration Restriction Bill m committee on Tuesday, September 18 (says the Adelaide " Kegiuter,") tho Chairman waa confronted with a question to whiah no apeoific answer ia given by those Standing Orders with which he ia so familiar. Mr Reea had entered the Chamber ahonly aftar the beginning of the debate, and having vigorously iuter jiOted "Hear, hear" fitfully now and then, ho was ao overcome by the heat of tho weather and by hlB legislative dudes that, leaning back on the ooay cushions, he fell into a debp Blumbar, Ho waa still aaleop when an Important division was being taken— a division m nhloh ths parties were almost equally divided. The i Chairman was jocularly aaked to state whetht r 9- member's vote could bo counted whilst his mind was oblivious to all earthly conoidoratlonß, and when his thoughts migtu be roaming uufettered iv the BWeet tiblda of dreamland, Tne sub stance of Mr Ward'B first practical off hand reply was — " The chair is not responsible for the Blumbera cf the hon. member ;" and hie second, " Such a question does not come within the provinoa of the chair — the vote must be counted when the hon member ia ia hiß place." All thia time Mr Reeß proceeded composedly with his sleep, not even deigning so much as to snore one single indignant protest. Several members shouted " Wake him np 1" but roasing a sleeping Hon ia a task demanding BpecUl taot, diplomacy, and courage, and the gentlemen appealed to began with one accord to make excuses. The Minister of Education crossed over and reconnoitred the abstracted states man for a moment, but — thab was all, Mr Oaldwell, bolder than all others, actually attempted to arouse him, but his efiorta and h>s touch were too fearsome and too delicate to be effective. Mr Bees still slept—slept whilst one division was taken m which the voting waa 23 to 22 ; slept still more deeply whilst another division was recorded m whloh the votes were equal. Either of those might have been aiterad bad Mr Rtes been awake, but Mr Rees still slumbered, Aa witty Mr Horn eaid subsequently, " This was about the only ocoußton upon which Mr Kaea bad been known to give a silent vote " At last sarcastic members began to make setto voce remarks, Buoh as "Ah ! sleeping Deauiy, eh 1" " Oh, don t wake him ior goodnesß sake!" "He doesn't talk when he's asleep, remember !" Then everybody rolapaed into Indifference almost as great UB that of the hon member himself, who, after a long interval of further repose, awakened by gradual degrees. At night he waß undoubtedly awake, and talked upon the fisttmatea to make up for lost time until members said — and meant what they Baid — that it waa a pity be had not ftlept on. A roar of laughter was produced at one moment when he said " Tno Stores Commission opened my eyes," but tha hon gentlemen evidently did not Intend the observation to be humorous, and looked surprised at the merriment he had caused. Daring a lull m the baainesj Obttain industrious members discovered a p^sßa^e m May, page 397, 1883 edition, which states that " to entitle a member to vote he must have heard the question put." Soma of them are now wrestling with the. question whether Mr Raea should have been compelled to vote, but it la hardly likely that the chairman will be asked to give a distinct ruling upon a point whloh will probably not arise twice In 10 years, j
