A LITTLE HERO.

The terrible fire which desolated Chicago
is still fresh upon your minds. Many in
cidents which occurred while the flames
were devouring cherished and happy homes,
are worthy of record. We will now give one
as an example ofhonest faithfulness.
1t is said that wealthy widow on the
north side of the city, was struggling alone,
on that never to be forgotten Monday even
ing, to save some of her personal goods,
when small and unknown boy came to her
and said:
st have been sent by your friend to ask if
I can do anything to help YOU"
The lady gave him box, and told him the
best he could do for her was to take care of
that, as it was very valuable. He disap,
peared with it, and she carried trunk after
trunk to a place of supposed safety, saw
them all burned, and finally barely escaped
with her own life.
All that night and the following Tuesd ay
passed, and nothing was heard from the boy
or box. Her diamonds, worth thousands of
dollars, iewelry, choice silver, and some rare
relics were in it, and she was more troubled
for it's loss than that of her house and furni-
ture.
But Tuesday night the boy was found sit
ting on the box, which he had buried in the
sand on the lake shore. He had been there
twenty-four hours, and at one time had
been obliged to half bury himself to escape
the devouring fire. The poor boy was hun
cry and very tired, hut he never once
thought of deserving his charge.
Don't you think, dear readers, that such
faithfulness is beyond praise? How many of
you could have resisted going to see after the
fire, or to obtain food, and in thus deserving
your post perhaps have forgotten exactly
where the treasure was buried. or returned
to fluid it stolen? But the faithful boy,
though the flames were almost scorchng
him, and he was half starved and wearied
out, never wavered in doing right
Now shall we give you little incident of
generous self denial
After the fire, poor newsboy was selling
papers. He saw much of suffering and mis-
cry about him, and it touched his heart. He
thought he was able to cara something,
while others were perfectly helpless, so he
took his pennies, vert to the relief commit
tee and said:
"Here's fifteen cents, it is all I have got,
may be it'll do little good.'
Could he do more than give his all? And
was not this unselfsh gift from the poor
little newsboy equal, in the sight CT our
Heavenly Father, TO thousands fir ON the
rich ?-Schoold0y VjSito r,

4 SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF LIGHTNING
RODS.

buildings are protected from lightning by
establishing path for electricity which is,
relatively to the building and it's contents. the
path of least resistance This involves three
cenditions-frst, the presence of superior
conducting substance, which, secondly, is
large enough to have sufficient conducting
capacity land thirdly, is so located Or arranged
as to present the path of least resistance un-
der all the various circumstances in which the
building may be exposed to the effects of
lightning. Any metal has sufficient superior
ity as a conductor to answer the purposes of
lightning rcd. The difference betwe en- the
conducting power of iron and water being as
millions TO unity. there is no practical advan-
tage in using copper. Moreover, rods formed
of thin sheet copper, whether fiat, twisted,
corrugated or tubular, have less conducting
capacity than solid iron rod of suitable
size, and are further Objectionable as rule,
from their unsubstantial construction and in
capability of durable application, If copper
is used, it should be a solid bar. A three
eighths of an inch square iron rod coated with
z inc, to prevent rusting, has been found to
afford perfect protection wherever it has been
lutelligently applied to buildings. It is de-
sirable that the decision as to what is required
for protection, namely, the quantity and ar
rangement of the lightning rods, should be
made by a person of competent scientific
knowledge and experience. If the services OF
such o person are not to be obtained, it is
better to err on the safe side by erecting an
unnecessarily large quantity of rods rather
than too few Lightning rods should not be
insulated, but on the contrary, connected
with the building as intimately as possible.
Insulators arrest the flow of currents Of rari
fed electricity, which it is the true function
of the lightning rod to facilitate. Though
mistakes are constantly made by the ignorant,
and, to some extent, unprincipled class of
people who peddle lightning rods about the
country, there never has been any injury by
lightning, so far as is known, either in this
country or abroad, to a building provided
with lightning rods, suitably constructed and
correctly applied.

AN IMPOSSIBILITY.

Charles Sumner says "Grant can't govern
this Country and quotes Stanton to prove it.
The circumstance of the case reminds us Of the
old story of the man in Jail. He entertained the
belief that he was illegally confined, ard 60 sent
for a lawyer to consult about the matter. After
listening to the prisoners story, the lawyer said
with @ confident smile: "Pshaw mar they
can't put you in jail for that"
''Can't they, though ?"
"Certainly not the thing is prepostcrous.
They can't put man in jail for any such action
''But they have. thought urged the prisoner
who fully agreed with the lawyer that they couldnt
do it, but was unable 10 get it out fhis head that
he wa il Jail, nevertheless.
II tell you, my dear fellow, it is impossible {;
they can't imprison you charge like that it's
against the law
But they have done it," cried the prisoner
stubbornly, ard with rising anger, land confound
EN-, here am. want to get OUT
"ButI say they can't cit. If you understand
the first thing about law you would see they
could't yourself. Mr.. Blackstone says
''Oh, - Blackstone? amt here and haven't
been here for the last six weeks -
81 tell you they can't pat you in jail for this, -
shouted the LAWYER, springing out of his chair, and
growing excited himself Because his client stupid
ly refused to listen to the points of law in the
case.
''And tell you - yelled the prisoner, jumping
to his feet and dancing around with excitement
and evaporation, they have done it, and am
here in jail, ard likely to stay here fer all ofyou.'
Grant has governed Ethe country, is governing
it, and may continue to govern it four years more
for what can prophesy. He can't do it though,
of course not.-Fdt Contributors Saturday

A PERSONAL GoD.-There are many of the people
who hold what are called liberal views Of religion
who can4no longer pray. They have nobody to
pray to- since they have drifted away from all be-
lief in the personality ofGod Nobody can pray
to law of nature, or force of nature, or to all
the laws and forces of the universe together, if
these laws and forces are to him impersonaI.
They do not hear, they cannot pity; they move
on inexorably, and have nei her knowledge or
love. If man who f1as lost the sense of the per
sonality Of God tries to pray, the utterance IS all
on one side. Therecan be no response, no com
munion. Such prayer is speech made atnoth-
ing; and so far an unreality and preteuce, thai
such praying is scarcely ever done in secret, The
men who do not believe in the personality of G@d
and who yet conform to the custom of prayer
necessarily do their praying in pulic. where they
can be heard by their fellow men-Lt6er@s Chris

GRAFT BROWN IN NEW HAVEN,

The New Haven PaJladjum contains
the following statement concerning the
conduct and condition Of B. G. Brown
while in New Haven, made by one of the
officials of the hotel where Gov. Brown
was stopping:
"Mr. Brown came to the New Haven
House late Wednesday night, and went
to bed What time he got up do not
know, but he went out, [ suppose to the
Yale commencement exercises. When he
came back from there, before he went to
the alumni dinner, he went to his room
and sent for some brandy. [ sent him up,
before he went away, three drinks of
brandy for which I received pay. He
came back after the dinner, and between
that time and the time when he made his
speech, lie sent down for three more
glasses of brandy, and [ am not sure but
more. [ know that / sold him six drinks
Of brandy, and I think that I sold him
eigh and he paid me for them. When
he came down to the office, before going
to the boat, to pay his bill, [ saw that ne
was very drunk. He PAID his BILL how.
/ ever, and then turning to the porter, he
said: "What in-has this man done ?
(Herc followed the conversation with the
porter, which was too vile and prOfane TO
! put in print, but which the clerk can
swear to- A reporter then stepped up
to him and asked him to look over che
notes of the speech, and Brown replied
I don't care Cd d-n tor any news
paper and other expressions of the same
sort. He then started for the side door
where hack was IN waiting for him. He
staggered as he went along, but finally
went away alone. About fifteen minutes
after he had gone Governor English came
Gown stairs and | said, Governor, Mr.
Brown was rather tight, wasn't he !? Yes,
replied the Governor, somewhat set up.
On being asked to state again what Mr.
Browns condition was, the reply was
He was booty drunk To be sure that
nothing was incorrectly taken down, ouI
Informant listened to the reading of tht
: notes Of what he had said, as given above
and responded that they were all correct
and that he was perfectly willing to make
