SOME FAMILIAR VEGETABLES

Amongst root vegetables the Turnip and the Swede are 

 valuable foods by reason of the great bulk of their positive 

 flesh, but, unfortunately, their jacket or outer coating is 

 not of sufficiently high resistance to conserve their energy 

 and therefore the Turnip — to a much greater extent than 

 the Swede or Mangel Wurzel — becomes sponge-like and 

 tough soon after it is removed from the earth — its source 

 of electrification. The following figure will serve to illus- 

 trate its electrical structure :

 Electrician is the Tomato :
