IF THE SAHARA Is FLOODED, WHAT:

The only important objection that has
thus far been urged against the under
taking, has arisen in the apprehension
expressed by a few scientists, that the
evaporation produced by so shallow a
body of water, exposed to a tropical sun,
would be sufficient to deluge Southern
Europe with incessant rains, and to re.
duce m 3terially the temperature in all
the country north of the Alps. 1t has
even been feared that winds freighted
with moisture crossing the cold summit
of the Alps, would precipitate vast
volumes Of water, and produce degree
of gold which would give Denmark and
Northern Germany a semi-Arctic eli
mate, and produce glacial epoch fur.

such approximations arise out of q mis-.

from FL Jul would be across funls in a

moving in that direction, if they reach
Europe at all, would touch the shore oil

JUDICIAL CONYENT1oN.


There is in this judicial distrist, no
district committee, and by common
usage il is left to the committees of the
several counties or the chairmen thereof
to unite in call. There are at least
three candidates for this position-E. B.
Peyton, who has held the position two
terms, J. Jay Buck and w. W. Scott, all
Republicans, and because of this fact
and because of the further apparent fact
that the only way TO settle the claims OF
these gentlemen was to have n conven-
ton, Mr.. Borton, chairman of the cen
trail committee of Lyon county, and Mr.
jackson, chairman for Usage county,
united in a call, fixing the time and
place at EmpOrIa, August %. This
action of Mr.. Borton has been formally
county. But il seems that the matter
temporarily fell through in Usage
county, and now the Usage County
Chronicle. of the 9th, comes to us
with n call signed by the chairman and
seven other members. We trust the en-
tire committees of all the counties
will unite in this call We think il
would he the political end of any man to
fight off u convention when that is the
only means of settling the claims of the
recognized members of the party, each
one OF whom has good following. We
regard il as cowardly. OF course, we
would rather always keep the judicial
ermine out of politics, but it is as likely
TO get in in keeping off conventions as
in calling them. We believe any party
will he demoralized by such course.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING IN SOUTH
AFRICA.
From the Land and Water.


Natal is an awful country for thunder
passes without some damage being done
to both man and beast. No house is
considered quite safe without Il conduc-
tor. MaritZburg is rather noted for its
thunder storms, and though | have seen
one or perhaps two instances OF the tall
blue gums of the city that had been
scared from head to foot by the light
ming, yet when it is considered how
numerous they are, and how awfully
near the lightning approaches, it was
astonishing how few of them had been
struck. From this fact | should say the
blue gum tree offers no peculiar attrac-
ton to the electric fluid; though from
the case mentioned, where the trees had
been scorched but not shivered, they
would seem to have acted as conductors.
When on the subject of thunder and
lightning l may mention two instances
of the freaks sometimes INDUCED by the
latter One happened on board n ship
On a voyage to Australia, when one of
the boys standing near the foot of the
mainmast or the main rigging, forget
which, was knocked down by the fluid.
He remained in a stupefied state for
some time. but recovered. The lightning
had made a bald patch on the crown of
his head and torn the iron heels off his
boots. 1t was several years after the ac-
cident when l made the acquaintance of
the boy, and the bald patch still remain
ed on the crown of his head. He was
considered rather n stupid boy, but
whether this was natural or the effect of
the lightning seemed doubtful.
The other freak happened IN Natal.
MIR. W--d, a settler on Mood, river,
was riding across high range (Mount
WesD when he was Overtaken by thun-
der storm he recollected nothing more.
He was found wandering about in ratlI-
er stupid state, and could not well ac-
count for his being on foot, or what had
become of his horse. On search being
made in the direction he was likely to
have followed from the farm, his horse
was found on the spur of the range, dead,
and his saddle shattered TO pieces.
The Kaffirs believe that where light
ming has struck it will strike again, and
if hut or kraal has been hit they va
cate the spot and build elsewhere. They
are disgustingly fond of flesh meat, and
will eat sheep that have died a natural
death, even when in so foul a condition
as TO be only fit for vultures. | have
seen them gorge themselves with the
| flesh of sheep that had died within
twenty minutes after being bitten
by snake, and even relish the infiamed
parts near where the death bite had been
given. But they will not eat beast
that has been killed by lightning.

WHAT THE CANVASS DE-
MANDS

We think that, in view of. the vital
Interests which are involved in the pres
ent national canvass, il becomes the duty
of Republicans everywhere to put in
nomination for congress and for state
and county officers the strongest men
they can command, to the end that the
full vote of the party may he brought
out, and the glorious principles which it
has advocated in the past may be triumph
antly vindicated by a sweeping majority
in the free north in November. Thought
full men cannot fail to realize that the is
sues in the present contest affect the vast
concerns of II great nation, and upon
their settlement depends the maintenance
of the very genius of our Republican in
stitutions, namely, the protection TO life
and property of the humblest citizen
within our borders. The eXIgencies of
the hour demand that there be no uncer-
tain sound in the settlement of these i'm
portant questions. The Republican par
ty must not only turn the scale in favor
of the free exercise of the civil and polit-
ical rights of every American citizen, but
it must emphasize its verdict by n
majority at the November cleo
tions that shall forever silence the sedi-
tious clamor OF the revolutionary party,
which is as eagerly seeking the life of
the nation to-day, in the flimsy disguise
of Union soldiers uniform, as it did
when wearing the gray, less than twenty
years ago.
These are points which it would be
well for the voters of Kansas to consider.
The Republican party in this state may
be strong, but it is not sufficiently omnip-
otent to ignore the dictates of common
prudence, by putting in nomination men
who, from any cause, will fail 10 central
forfeit to the state the fruits of what
should be the grandest political triumph
in her history. The way to effectually
fortify the party against all such contin-
gencies is TO select men for the
state ticket whose ability will
command the respect of the people, and
whose thorough integrity will inspire
confidence in the purity of their
official administrations There are "A good
ly number ofvery fair candidates in the
field for the different offices to be filled at
the November elections, but this year
we cannot afford TO go into the contest
with negative standard bearers, even
though nothing can be said against them
as citizens deserving the respect of their
neighbors. What we want are strong,
capable men, who will add character TO
the ticket, harmonize. without any sac
rifice of principle, all the elements of the
party, and who can direct the aggressive
canvass which the political situation de
mands should be made in Kansas this
year. Our sister states are looking to-
ward Kansas as the banner state in the
Republican column. Let us not disap-
| mint fhptn
