DE LUC'S ELECTRIC COLUMN. 



W e have now to inform our readers, that the small pair of 

 bells connected with the electric column invented by Mr. de 

 Luc, which we have frequently noticed, were perceived to 

 cease ringing for about ten minutes on the 4th of September; 

 then (the apparatus remaining untouched) to begin again to 

 ring by intervals, stopping perhaps half a second or more 

 at a time : they stopped for several days after this, and be- 

 gan again, and at other times for hours ; and on the 18th 

 of November they were removed from the column, not 

 having been heard that morning. 



1 3i h December, 1810. 



Till the appearance of Dr. Adams's last edition of Mor- 

 bid Poison, it was universally believed that the unhappy 

 subjects of the Arabian leprosy are peculiarly salacious; 

 an opinion as old as Aretaeus, copied by most succeeding 

 authors and contradicted by none. Dr. Adams, from ac- 

 tual observation, has proved the fallacy of this opinion. 

 A melancholy case is now in St. Bartholomew's Hospital ; 

 a native of the Portuguese Brazils, about 30 years of age, 

 without beard, and with all the other peculiarities remarked 

 by the above accurate writer.
