Take IL Out of That.

a yodng man from the hills, with a
new linen dustcr on his back and IL
hnge new umbrella under his arm,
stepped up to the general delivery at
the Post Office and said in Il half conf
Dental whisper that he would take q
stamp. The shade of the Father OF his
Country-a green shade of him-was
Instantly in the hands Of the young
man for inspection. He took it up Gu
riously, examined the diverse to see If
the picture was all right, and scrutin-
lZcd the reverse, fearing that he would
discover an insufllclcncy of mucilage.
Then he laid the stamp down and said
he would take 1t, with the air of a man
who Is bound that no man Shall get the
better Of him in a trade. Postmaster
Mayo looked up and smiled assent, al

explored; his vest vaults were made to
disgorgc their freight of silver and

denomination of money rs he seemed
sure Of possessing. After one more

Lightning Rods.

The course of lightning is constant
or prcarrangcd, and If Il building
should be struck twice i'm the same
both times. no matter how crooked its
path, provided everything was in pre-
ciscly the same position throughout the
house; hence its path can be suppicL
by proper arrangement of metal. A
very small amount of connected metal, :,
no larger than Il telegraph wire, will
conduct an ordinary lightning stroke.
Lightning seldom, if ever, goes below
the top floor of Il house provided with
gas or water pipe. or below the upper
most floor that contains them. in Il
wooden house not provided with pipes,
1t is more diilicUlt to state its course be-
iorehand, although it will generally
strike the chimney and end ut the well
or drain, If near the house; its course
through the house being governed by
the different amount OF moisture in diff
fcrcnt timbcrs, plaster, etc, in the alb
scncc of any metal conductor. A light
ning-rOu does not attract lightning,
strictly speaking; it simply conducts
it.. like any other metal. A tin roof
connected with the earth by water
spouts, or metal in any form, makes an
excellent lightning there is no
need of separating your tin roof from
the wood with glass; the electricity
will never leave metal for wood if the
metal continues to moist earth. All
metals conduct sufficiently well for a
lightning-rod. The principal rcuuis-
ton Is Il perfectly continuous rod going
III the most direct line from the high
est points to the moist earth. Thcor-
atically, copper is six times better than
iron, but practically, for lightning
rod, iron is nearly as good conductor
as copper. 1t makes very little differ
encc what Shape or form the metal Is
worked into, provided it IS strong and
substantial. Sir w. Snow Harris is
perhaps the best authority on light
ning-rods, but probably to be on tho
safe side. he recommends Il large rod.
lie advises the use Of Il rod three quar-
tcrs of an inch in diameter, although
he admits that probably meyer in the
experience Of mankind has rod one
half an inch In diameter been melted,
and III every case where rod quar-
tcr-inch In diameter has been melted it
has been in the form Of a chain; this
of course, giving small connecting
points between tho links, offers grca
resistance, consequently great heat and
explosions ut every link. There is lit
tic doubt but that solid iron wire one
quarter Of an inch in diameter, will
conduct any ordinary charge Of light
ming In safety, observing the necessary
arrangements, the most important of
which is the ground connection.

"BlnCk TrncIxors" III Austrulin,

The settlers of Victoria arc so much
veXcd by bush rangers, who invariably
disappear when they arc "wantcd, -
that they have sent to Queensland for
black truckers. That it should be nee
essary to go to Queensland to find
blacks In possession Of these faculties
says not very much, perhaps, for our
success In keeping the aboriginal alive.
In England people may be Inclined
co rank the belief In the savage power
of tracking with the belief in the hazel
wand of the treasure seeker, or the ex-
plorcr for wells. The clcverncss Of the
wild hunter is supposed to exist only
IN Coopcr's novels. In Australia it IS
very well known by experience that
the blacks will recognize the tracks OF
man they have not seen for years and
Will hunt It over tracks Of bush where
the white nan Is lost. The great story
OF the slcuth-hound qualities of the
Murri is unfortunately mixed up with
a ghost. In the eyes of science and
perhaps common sense, it is therefore
Il record OF hallucination. The taM,
however, has often been repeated and
perhaps never contradictcd, that II
drunken old squa:ter, returning from
market, saw sitting on gate, u man
who had lately left his station and the
colony for England. The squattcr's
wife refused, of course, to believe that
a man who was in England could be
sitting on an Australian gate, but the
squattcr after another Interview with
the figure, consulted tho local magis-
tratcs. They sent black trackcr to
inspect the spot, and his proceedings
were not uninteresting. IIc first de-
tcctcd some minute spots of blood on
the top rail OF the gate. lie then walk
cd to nclghboring pond, threw him
self fiat on the ground and watched the
surface of the water. After few
minutes he rose, threw stone into the
pond, and said, "You find white fellow
there" The pond was dragged. and
the white fellow discovered In an ad-
vanced state Of decomposition, which
had made itself apparent to the black
fellow. We need not go further into
story of common place murder and
clover concealmcnt. Some points in
the tale may not satisfy the skcptic,
but 1t proves the strength of colonial
belief In black trackcrs.

A hpapy Choice.

During the excursion from Pitts
burg to Niagara Falls, and while at
Cleveland, an incident occurred which
will never be. forgotten by those who
heard Of 1t. The Kennard House,
IN that city, was crowded with
guests, when an eccentric and witty
druggist Of Smithticld street appeared
late at night at the hotel Office and de-
mandcd bed. The clerk replied that
there were only two vacant beds in
the house, one wherein was quartercd
a Pittsburg morning newspaper man,
and the other room wherein was Pitts
burg evening newspaper man, who
were with the excursion.
"Io tell the truth, they are both
pretty drunk; so you may take your
choice as to which room you will sleep
in"
The druggist said that on general
principles he would take his chances
with the evening newspaper journalist,
as they cxcelled tho morning men in
more ways than one and he would
doubtless be so drunk that he would be
tlormantly quiet all night. He went
to bed and was soon sound asleep. The
Journalist, however, awakened about
twelve O'Clock, and thinking it a long
time between drinks, dressed himself
unronsciously, in the druggists clothes
and sailed out to make night Of it,
Ever and anon he muttered as he
treated all present:
Funniest thing I ever heard Of.
When went to bed last night I only
had twenty-five cents to my name, and
now I've got over hundred dollars
(showing q corpulent roll of bills), and
Pm bound to spend every cent of it be-
fore morning." He did.

A curious spectacle was witnessed
tho other evening. AS is we'll known
the Chinese kite resembles q bird |
some particulars, and when flying in
air is readily mistaken for ono. On the
evening stated some small boys were
flying one Of these kites, which was up
quite a distance. 1t was noticed that a
number of birds began to surround the
kite, and the longer the kite remained
the number increased, until perhaps
thirty had gathered around it,, and
from all appearances were endeavor-
Ing to ascertain tho specios to which
this ncdescrlpt belonged. They would
tloat at distance, and gaze intently on
the kite, and then with d dart, woul4

then would turn around gaze onco moro
at the peculiar bird, but without any
seeming satisfaction. They Kept up
their Investigations until darkness cali

Ing record Of seconds. At the pas
sage Of each mile post button is
touched by the person in charge of tho
car when similar process is gone
| through with and thus q record of tho
miles is kept. The machine OF the left
SIDE OF tho table is a register Of the
gauge. 1t IS connected with an axle
between two small wheels which rest
on the track. In the axle is spring
which keeps the wheels on each side
pushed Tight against the track. In this
way any variation from the standard
gauge Is noted. The machine on the
right shows the condition of the track
surface. Tho pencil is connected, by
means Of Ia rod or crank, with .the
spring Of the CIR and any inequality in
the surface Is Immediately registered
by the jar given the spring. The third
machine registers any difference in the
elevation of the two rails Of the track.
This Is done by means of n heavy
pendulum swung precisely III the CEN
trc OF the car which under any sway
ing of the car maintains the porpcndlc-
nlar, and tho cars variation is imme-
aiatcly registered. Tho car Is almost
ready for its first trial, which will be
made shortly.
