The history of lightning conductors OK

is ordinarily dated from the memorable
evening when Benjamin Franklin, accom-

bold experiment of drawing lightning

not refer TO that which converted tic first
failure into the subsequent success, name
ly, the wetting of the kite string by the
thunder shower. But we can not help con-
Tossing a sort Of satisfaction. on behalf of
the Old World in being taught to antedate
this triumph OF experimental sagacitv,
though only by few days, in favor Of an
experiment made at the suggestion of Buff
fon by NJ. Dalibard
AT Marly-la- willie, about ~ miles from
Paris. on The road to Bontosc. " Dali
bard possessed Il country house, standing
on a high plain, some 400 feet above the sea-
level. Here Il wooden scatfo1dng was
erected, supporting an iron rod 50 fact
long and a little more than All inch thick.
At about five feet from the ground this
rod was connected with an electrical appar-
atls. Shortly after the whole was fixed
on May 10th, 1852, {5a days before the oh
scrvation at Philadelphia), thunderstorm

Paris, but he had left the apparatus IL
charge of 4 faithful sentinel, one of his
servants, au old soldier, Coitfcr by name,
with full Instructions. Coittcr presented
TO the conductor an iron key with the han-
die bound in silk, and was thus the first
human observer who drew down, by tenta-

SlarewH Detective Work.
London Sporting NcMS.l


A man was wanted by the police, and
his skill i'll the arts of sslnaking up'' and
lodging his would-bc captors was SO CON
siderable that for 4 long time he had es-
capped detection. Atlength Il clever detcc-
tive was put on his track, and first of all he
began to inquire about his associates One
Of the most intimate of them was, it ap-
peared, a certain young woman, and about
her he first of all found out everything.
He had reason to suspect that she was ac-
quaintcd with the fugitive's hiding-place,
so the first thing to be done was to follow
her Oh Saturday afternoon, when she was
free from her employment. An innocent
young detective, in the guise of a carpen-
ter, was told off to watch, and endcavored
to strike up an acquaintance, in which de-
sign he was not very successful, though he
asccrtained that Kingston was her destina-
ton that afternoon.
TO Kingston he went and traced her to
house occupied by an old man, about
whom the lleighbors knew no more than
that he was an old man. He was an elder
ly invalid, never went to the door, never
went out, saw nobody; and how was he to
be caught and examined? There was moth
ing known about him to justify the police
in entering the house, and the detective
walked around the place, i'll company with
the ''carpenter,' wondering what to do
next. At the back of the house was q gar
den, in which was kennel containing a
big dog, or rather not containing him, for
he was lying out i'll the sun at the end Of
his chain. No sign Of life was visible in
the house. Jump over the wall and kick
that dog, and then hide behind the SUM
mer house, said the detective to the Gear
penter." In moment the young man was
over the wall, and the dog was bowling
from the effects Of a kick in the ribs.
Neighboring dogs joined in the chorus,
and at the window appeared the old gem
tlcman.
No one was about; the dog continued to
howl, and incautiously his owner came
down to the garden 10 see what was the
matter. Beneath the Well-made gray wig
the detectives keen eyes recognized the
object Of his search, and in a moment the
arrest was made.

For Il few moments the spectators could
see nothing but cloud Of dust, from
