A Shower of Lightning.
The Curious Electrical Phenomenon Which Alarmed Some Swiss People.
 +Ina

Which Alarmed Some SWISS ReOpIe.
 From the London Times.l
 Our Geneva correspondent writes under date June 20: "A remarkable electrical phe- nomenon occurred at Clarens on the after noon of Thursday last. Heavy masses of rain clouds hid from view the mountains which separate Fribourg from Montreuv, but their sun1mits were from time to time lit up with vivid flashes of lightning and a heavy thunderstorm seemed to be raging in the Valleys of the Avants and the AliaZ. No rain was falling near the lake, and the storm still appeared far off, when tremendous peal Of thunder shook the houses of Clarens and Ia vel to their foundations. At the same instant a magnificent cherry tree near the cemetery, measuring a metre in circumference, was struck by lightning. Some people who were working in vineyard hard by saw the cleo tric fluid play about a little girl who had been gathering cherries and was already 30 paces from the tree. She was literally folded in sheet of fire. The ne-dressers fled in ter TOT from the spot. In the cemetery, six per sons, separated into three groups, none Of them within 25O paces of the cherry tree, were enveloped in a luminous cloud They felt as if they were being struck in the face with hailstones or fine gravel, and when they touched @ach other sparks of electricity pass ed from their fnger-ends. At the same time column of fire was seen to descend in the direction. of Chatelard, and it is averred that the electric fluid could be distinctly heard as it ran from point to point of the iron railing of vault in the cemetery. The strangest part of the story is that neither the little girl, the people in the cemetery, nor the vine dressers appear to have been hurt the only inconvenience complained of being an un- pleasant sensation in the joints as if they had been violently twisted, a sensation which was felt with more or less acuteness for a few hours after. The explanation of this phe- nomenon is probably to be found in Prof. Colladon's theory of the way in which light ming descends, as described in letter on the effect of lightning on trees printed in the Times of May IS. The Professor contends that it falls in shower, not in perpendicu- lar flash, and that it runs along branches of trees until it is all gathered in the trunk, which it bursts or tears open in its effort to reach the ground In the instance in ques tiou the trunk of the cherry-tree is as con- pletely shivered as if it had been exploded by a charge of dynamite. A part of the shower which destroyed the tree fell where the little girl was standing, but, distributed over the grass, left her unharmed, and was so dissemi- mated in the cemetery that the six persons upon whom the electric rain descended es- capped without serious injury.'

ADiscomfited Burglar.

From the New York Herald of Monday.l
 It was past two o'clock yesterday morning and the occasional patrolman had passed out of sight of No. 243 West Forty-sixth street when these premises were favored with wis., it by velvet-footed individual who quietly made his entrance through a window. At that moment Charles Gahren lay sleeping in his bed on the second floor, and when little later something disturbed him he turned to shift his position and drowsily opened his eyes. He did not shut them for spell Just between him and the wall dark figure was standing-a figure that stopped and seemed to seek shelter in the darkness as he stirred.
 "Who are you" cried Charles, sitting bolt upright, and then before the figure could make another movement, he sprang at it and clutched real live burglar by the shoulders The intruder was evidently taken by surprise but he struggled hard. Neither spoke a word, but each bent all his efforts to master the other. However the burglar was no match in physical strength for the master of the house, and as they stumbled against the open window in all the indignation of an in vaded householder Mir. Gahren lifted up the intruder bodily and pitched him head fore most into the street. The burglars head missed the sharp railings by trifie and came down with bump on the area stones. And there he lay all in heap, without feeling or motion, till Gahren, after hurrying on gar ment or two, came down the stairs to call the police. He saw nothing of the intruder, who, he fancied, had scurried away, when the inert mass in the basement met his eye He went down there and found that the man was all right except for his bumped head, so he called the police and turned him over to them. In few minutes the burglar recov- cred and seemed much out of sorts with the company he found himself in. After being taken to the police station he was arraigned in the Yorkville Police Court yesterday morn ing, where in very dejected mood he gave his nameNand address as John Matthews, of No 239 West Forty y-sixth street. He did not remember anything about the burglary. He said he had been drunk and stumbled into Gahren's house by chance.
 t'There must have been method in that stumble, " said the magistrate, to bring you mp against the second story wall so neatly You got of cheaply, too. You might as well have been shot.''
 II wish I had been, " said the discomfited prisoner. 'I feel meaner this morning than if had half dozen bullets in me-"
 His. Honor then put Matthews under $3, GOO bail to stand trial at the General Sessions.

Development of Consumption.

 The appetite becomes weak and capricious, result scarcely to be wondered at when take into consid eration the large amount of offensive secretion from the head and throat, which is continually being con- veyed to the stomach by the food and drink, es down during sleep.
 The mucous membrane becomes morbidly sensitive and, in spite of the utmost care, becomes affected from the slightest causes that at last breath of wind upon the lining of the throat becomes productive of cold and gives rise to serious distur bance of the respiratory organs Thus the patient is subject to frequent and repeated oolds each ag gravating the disease by giving it impulse, and attacking larger extent of surface than its predeces In this manner the catarrh spreads from organ to organ invading the throat, larynx and bronchial tubes, until encroaching further and further it final I reaches the lungs Let the lesson be borne in mind which experience teaches daily, that to neglect the proper treatment of catarrh is to die with consump tien.
