AN ELECTRIC GIRL. It has long been known that certain persons are strongly electric, that is they are so charged with electricity that they can give shocks pretty much as the gymnotus and other fishes do. The case of the electric girl of London, Canada, however, is one of the most remarkable we have heard of. She is just nineteen yeais old. She has been sick two years, but is now well. Tho doctors could not tell what was the matter with her, but since her recovery she seems to be a walking battery. Unless your nerves are very strong, you cannot shake hands with her, nor can any one place his hand in a pail of water with hers.
