THE DALTON MYSTERY.

knew there was mystery in Ralph
Dalton's house, shadow over his life, as
certainly as I knew that he loved me and
tried to conquer his love. It was miser-
able joy to me to encounter him, to make
him fall in love with me over again, when
I knew he had been hiding away. battling
with my influence over him, triying-and
vainly-to thrust me out of his heart.
It was no boy and girl infatuation, for
was twenty-three when 1 inherited Wolf
ston from my uncle; stately old house.
with extensive grounds, named from some
old world estate in our family. found
housekeeper, and brought with me COM
panion, widow Of sixty, Mrs. Latimer,
and settled down in the new house very
happily There was no lack Of pleasant
society. and had attention from many
gentlemen residing near us. But the first
person to welcome nae was Ralph Dalton,
who had been my husbands close friend
for years, and who lived upon the next
place to mine. He held for me some pri-
vate letters, some jewels Of my grand
mothers, and other little matters uncle
felt it best to confide to private keeping,
and after his trust was over he came
again and again until we loved each
other. Then he ceased his visits, and I
met him only by chance, if persistent eff
fort on my part could be called so.
What did love in him? He was many
years older than myself; he was forty IJudge;
without great personal attraction. His
features were large and gave an impression
of strength; he was tall and broad Shout
dered. have heard him called an ugly
man, but his large, melancholy brown eyes
were beautiful. He was grave to sadness,
and reserved to fault; yet once the ice
of his reticence was broken. he could con-
verse easily and gracefully upon any topic.
passing far beyond my poor attachments
in the scope of his study and the wide
range Of his reading. He was gentle as
woman, and his voice, full, rich and ex-
quisitely modulated was perfect music. I
loved him utterly who had been cold
to all suitors, and self-resolved to main
tain ever my freedom.
What did he love in me? Something
that was reflex of his own nobility, for
was commonplace enough elsewhere. With
him wakened to new thoughts of philan-
thropy, of self=culture. and my whole soul
was elevated and found strength in inter-
course with him. was fair of face, they
told me who wooed me, and was glad If
Ralph's eyes found pleasure in my beauty,
But had not been week at Wolfston
before heard of some mystery in Haiphs
home.
It had never received pretty name.
but was simply spoken of as "Daiton's."
The house was large, yet no visitor ever
stopped there. Ralph was reported veal
thy. yet he offered no hospitality, not even
one meal to big friends,

What Causes Thunder.

A correspondent of "Nature'' writes
81 have lately seen it stated in text
book upon electricity and magnetism that
the phenomenon of thunder is not fully
accounted for by any theory as yet
brought forward. Whether this be SO or
not am not sufficiently acquainted with
the subject to say. l believe the common
ly accepted theory is that vacuum is
is created in the path of the electric spark,
and that the subsequent thrush of the air
produces the defamation. If, however, it
be allowed that the electric spark is not a
material substance, but merely a natural
force or mode of motion, the possibility of
this theory is at once disposed of.
SIT is well known fact that the pas
sage Of electricity in high state of ten
sion through mixture of oxygen and by
drogen not only causes an explosion, but
also causes formation of water, and it
seems to me that, given the existence of
free oxygen and hydrogen in the region of
the electric disturbance, the phenomenon
of thunder is sufficiently accounted for.
Whether the normal amount Of hydrogen
in the air is sufficient to cause the stupen
dous noise of thunder l am not competent
to Judge, but if not, would suggest that
the presence of an abnormal amount might
be accounted for by the process of the
which would probably occur
between the two poles of the thunder cloud
before the tension became SO great as to
cause a rupture of the circuit and conse
quent discharge of the electric spark. I
would also draw your attention to the fact
that every thunder clap is Immediately
by an increase IN the quantity Of
water deposited in the shape of rain. Does
not this point to the formation of water
by the explosion of the gasses? lisa
frequent experiment. of DIR. Tyndall's to
show his audience red clouds; I feel con-
WINGED that by following this line of in
quiry he could give us real thunder

A CURIOUS CALCULATIoN.-It is asser-
ted by a scientific writer, says an Irish
newspaper, that the number of persons
who have existed on our globe since the
beginning Of time amounts to 66,627 ,S4S,-
2s7, 075,S56. These figures when divided
by 1905, GOETHE numbed of square leagues
on the globe-leaves IL 1920, $3.50 1872 square
miles Of land, which being divided as be-
fore, gives 1,414.626,O75 persons to each
square mile. II we reduce these to square
rods, the number will be 1858, 175, 800, 900
which divided in like manner, will give
1873 inhabitants of each square rod, and
these being reduced to feet, will give about
five persons to EACH square foot of terra
firma. It will thus be perceived that our
earth is vast cemetery. On each square
rood of it, 1873 human beings lie buried,
each rood being scarcely sufficient for ten
graves, with each grave containing 1913
persons. The whole surface of our globe,
therefore, has been dug over 1913 times to
bury its dead,
