Inventions of the year. The frame Of tho
bedstcad contains machinery at once SIMPLE
and effective, which being wound up, will put
in operation fan or fans, suspended above

SINGULAR PHRENoMENA.--A lady of Lu-
gano, sitting near window during thun-
der storm, received shock which was not
followed by any dangerous consequences;
but dover, which happened to lie in the
way of the electric current, was figured upon
her leg, and she preserved the appearance du-
ring the rest of her life. A sailor on board
n vessel in the harbor of Zante having been
struck by lightning, there was found on his
breast the number 4 IL being nm exact copy
Of the same figures in metal which were at
t,ched TO part of the rigging of the ship
In September, 1925, the lightning struck
the brigantine II. Buno Servo; on the back
of one Of the sailors who was killed was the
figure Of a horseshoe, of the exact dimen-
sions of one nailed to tho foremast 10 1871,
n magistrate Of the Department OF lndre ct
Loire, and Il mller's boy, were struck by
lightning, md on the breast of each were
found spots resembling exactly the leaves of
the poplar. About 1856, two members OF .
the old Academy of Science used to mention,
on the authority of Franklin, the account OF
u man, who having seen the lightning fall
upon tree opposite him, exhibited the ims
age Of this tree upon his brest; but this phe-
nomenon was attributed to .hem by accident
or rather to q casual sanguineous sutlusion.
These facts that we have cited prove that
the phenomenon in question has wholly
different signiiicantion, and think that it is,
perhaps, of Photographic nature.

Or A writer on giants says that the exact
height of Ogg, King of Bashan, has been
variously computed, some supposng him TO
have been more than twelve English feet,
while others think his stature did not exceed
eleven feet IL Ike i;;;;ssaaa0r, the giant Co
liah, of Scripture, is generally computed to
have been about nine feet nine inches, bvt
commentators have supposed he might have
been eleven feet high. Turner, the natural
ist, declares that he saw on the Brazil coast
race of gigantic savagcs, one Of whom
measured twelve feet. In description Of
America, by NJ. 1hebct, published in 1875,
he asserts that no saw and measured The skel-
eton of South American, which was eleven
feet five inches in length. His skull was three
feet one inch in circumference, and the leg
bones full three feet four inches long.

IsDEPESDEScE.-We like independence
We like to hear man express his honest
convictions on any and every subject on which
he may have occasion to speak. A man
who is mere echo of some esding politician
some distinguished divine, or some shrewd
fnancier-whose religious sentiments are the
sentiments of his church-his political views
fac simle of his party organ-who listens
with open mouth aud glaring eyes to those
whom accident has elevated, pecuniarily n
little above himself, not daring to utter an
opinion which does not fully coincide with
that coming from such source, may find
appropriate spheres in this world but the
moral and intellectual condition of the COM
munity will not be greatly improved by any
