[SIXTY SWEET | i Handsome San Jose Take Part in Opera for Cause of Charity.: IAKE"UP THE CHORUS. SINGERS WILL ‘ PROVES BRAIN 1S ELECTRIC Dr. A. J. Atkins of This City Maids and Matrons to CASSIE LION HiLL P=OTo E *| Completes a Remarkable Experiment on a Steer A CURRENT RECORD Says That the Human Mind Is Catching the Vibrations of the Universal Ether Dr. Albert J. Atkins, a physician of thls city, whose experiments in the electrical actions of the' organs of the body have become a part of the history of medicine, has just completed an ex- periment whereby he claims to show positively that the brain action of a hu- man being is due merely to the presence of electrical currents in the cells; that the brain is a delicate electrical appa- ratug, which may become in tune with the . vibrations of universal ether and catch from it the wireless messages of thought; that the senses are due to the effect of electricity in the ether and that the electric current is carried to the brain. That electric currents exist in the muscles and nerves has been demon- strated by such experimenters as Gal- vani, Mateucchi, Dubois Raymond and others, but that the brain is a delicate electrical apparatus, which guildes the body, was never discovered until Dr. At- kins announced to the world yesterday that he had accomplished that over which many had failed. 2 Dr. Atkins' experiment is simple enough- and seems to prove conclusively his con- tention that the brain is an electrical apparatus. Furthermore, to prove that his figures are correct, he and his as- sistants performed the work under the eyes of Captain L. D. Wildman, Signal Corps, U. S. A, and member of the ‘American Society of Electrical En- gineers, who has made a separate report on the experiment, agreeing in every- de- tall with that of Dr. Atkins. STICKS NEEDLES IN BRAIN. | | _The experiment was performed on a Texas steer at Butchertown two days ago. First two holes were bored in the skull of the animal to connect directly with the brain. Great care was taken with the knives and, owing to the use of cocalne, the steer suffered little. ent the Victory Decer n progre sction wil Professor i 'I or- augmented by eater members P. M.

Judge Murasky has denied the peti- tion of Lillian M. for divorce from Frederick McMurphy. He ordered, however, that McMurphy pay Mrs. Me- | Murphy $50 a month for her pport. She accused him of cruelty, and in a cross complaint asserted that she caused him great mental distress by wearing tights around the house and smoking a Turkish pipe. Judge Mu- | rasky held, however, that the offenses of neither of them were of such a| aracter or degree to warrant the | granting of a divorce. |~ Decrees of divorce were granted yes- terday to Laura F. from F. B. Sauecer, | for desertion; Irene from Joseph Cahen, | | for desertion; Annie Caroline from | Frederick Orton, for desertion, and | Belle from George W. Burling, for de- | sertion. Suits for divorce were filed by Al- fred against Elizgabeth Harrison, for de- | sertion; James R. against Mary E. Fil- gate, for cruelty; Annie against Samuel | | Glass, for cruelty; Kristine O. against ! Carl V. Karslurld, for desertion, and Lily against Milton M. Posner, for cruelty. The defendant Posner is a dentist. New Postmasters Are Appointed. WASHINGT! Dec. 14.—Postmas- | ters appoinfed: California—Made- line, Lassen County, Robert W. Brasher; Mount Wilson, Les Angeles, C.

Then two platinum electrodes were stuck directly into the thought part of the brain. These electrodes were con- nected by a long copper wire to a deli- | cate galvanometer 100 feet away. Cap- tain Wildman took the readings on the galvanometer. The steer submitted quletly to the| sticking of the electrodes in his brain | and lay down in a resting position. He | was apparently at ease. He was breath- | ing naturally. and his heart action was normal. He was apparently in the same mental and physical condition as before the needles had entered his brain. MRS 7= M. WALS H BUSHNELL PHOTO. In this normal condition, the galva- l SAN JOSE MATRONS AND MAID nometer registered from six to seven points. The test was a long one, 5o that | b1 ORMBATIO AR DO, ) | no possible mistake could be made. Cap- ¥ “* | tain Wildman read off the figures as they were registered on the galvanometer. Then Dr. Atkins gave the signal for the steer to be killed. The throat of the animal was cut. The electrical current in the brain increased and on the gal- vanometer the register reached twenty- nine points. As the life grew extinct the register became lower, until it finally reached two points. ELECTRIC POWER IS FOUND. This electric power could only come from the action of the brain itself or from the warmth of the blood. Experi- ments with blood failed to register more than two degrees. “The electric cur- rent,” declared Dr. Atkins, ‘“‘comes from the brain itself. When the animal real- ized that it was being killed, its thoughts came fast and the electricity increased. PERSONAL. E. S. Babcock of Coronado is at the Palace. Mr. and Mrs. F. M.

Dr. Atkins intends to send an account of his experiments and discoveries to every university of the world. He has long been making experiments along electrical lines and has been working on the theory which he proved by the steer for over five years. His work has brought him much praise. Yesterday he received a congratulatory letter from Luther Burbank. —_——————————— A remedy specially designed for the treatment of all kidney, liver, stomach and bowel troubles is Lash’s Bitters. * ————————— H.

Ackerman has just returned to San Francisco from New York with good news for lovers of grand opera. He has closed a contract with Conried for a sea- son of grand opera in April. Caruso, Nordlca, Scott! and other celeb- rities of the Conried constellation will visit the coast with the company and the Metropolitan’s large orchestra. The sea- son is to open at the Grand Opera-house on April 16, and it will last two weeks. The experience of Conried last year was to his liking and that of the company, so when Mr, Ackerman broached the topic of coming West the deal was soon closed. ——————— MURDERER GETS NEW TRIAL.—The Su- preme Court yesterday granted a new trial to B. Cook., who was convicted of murder in the first degree n Mehdocing County : and sentenced to death. The victim was Max Krieger, who had made fmproper proposals to Ida Cook, a daughter of the defendant. The judgment of the lower court was reversed be- cause the Judge allowed the presentation of evidence which showed the existence of incestu- us relations between father and daughter.
