ELECTRICAL GROWTH.
SUPERMEN BY DYNAMO,
(Times-Sydney Sun Special Cable.)
LONDON. December IL
In a lecture before the Royal Society of Arts yesterday evening Mr Thorne Baker, the well-known photographic worker, reported the discovery that an electric current increases the flow of nutriment through the capilliaries by reducing its viscosity.
According to the lecturer, there would be no difficulty in raising chickens at double the usual speed and at half the present cost of food by the new process.
It was also pointed out that the discovery may lead to the hastening, by means of electricity, of human development, and to the elimination of many infantile ailments.
Mr Thorne Baker told his audience that he proposed to attempt to rectify stale eggs, and to make more marketable e<n7s which had deteriorated through having been kept too long in cold storage.
