pie, It is now asserted that in 1853 a
Congregational meeting house In
Lockport-Eas struck by lightning dur
ing divine service, and doubles At
the very time that the choir was exc
cutting an anthem in seven simullan-
eous keys. One Of the young ladies Of
the choir was stunned, and on regain
ing conscious was found to have lost
her watch and chain. She remained
Ill tor several months, during which
she suffered from pain in her side,
but in time the pain ceased. A short
time ago the young lady-Who appears
to have grown no older in thirty years
noticed q swelling on her arm. The
swelling increased and worked down
ward, and it has Just been discovered
that the missing watch and three feet
OF chain were safely imbedded in the
arm. The lightning obviously drove
the watch and chain into the young
lady's side, and for thirty years the
lost articles have meandered through
her system until they have finally
reached the surface.
Strange as this story may seem, it
can be matched by the experience OF
Mr.. Josiah H. Stringly, who, forty
years ago, was leaning on his OK cart
IN front Of the Baptist westinghouse
in Oshkosh when the steeple was
struck by lightning. Mr.. Stringly
was stunned, his oxen killed, and the
cart was apparently annihilated. After
reeoYeissg irog, the effects of the
lightning, Mr.. Stringly became book
agent, and practiced that calling until
about q week ago. when an indurated
swelling on his cheek attracted his
attention. he found that it was
caused by link Of an OK chain, and
on trying to pull the link out Of the
cheek twelve feet Of heavy OK chain
and the missing OK cart we're reeov-
ered--the latter in perfect condition,
with the exception Of one Of the tires,
which was slightly corroded. This
story teaches US that we should never
play with lightning and should always
tell the truth.

The Manufacture Of Reads.


Beads are largely made in Venice
where glass making has always been a
principal industry. 1t is said that the
invention Of beads dates from the
thirteenth century, and is due to two
Venetians, Mott and Imbriani, who
we're urged to make experiments by
the celebrated Venetian traveller Mar
co Polo, Under the Venetian Repub-
lie, and for some yeais after Iits fall,
says our Consul at Venice, the expOr-
tation Of beads had not reached the
Importance il has now attained. This
was, perhaps, owing to the smallness
OF the furnaces and the difficulty and
length of the technical process re-
quired for the composition OF the
paste. The Morelli, however, who in
1910 were the principal bead manu-
lecturers, had four ships at sea car.
rying beads to the East on their own
account, and they became 50 rich
that in 1866 they entered the rank
Of the Venetian nobility on payment
OF sum Of 100000 ducats to the
Republic. Since 1915 this industry
has become so important as to
give at the present time en-
ployment to about 1900 persons.
The traffic is carried on with all the
world. but the principal expectation
OF beads is to the ports Of Asia and
Africa. An extraordinary stimulus
was given to this industry few years
ago by the prevailing taste for beads
for trimming ladies' dresses. A great
extension Of the manufacture took
place, and the labor was paid so high
that all who could so gave up their
usual trades for bead making, But
when the demand for beads declined
most Of the workmen who had been
allured by fancy wages to the bead
manufacture were thrown out Of work
and compelled to return TO their
former occupations. Whatever be
the cause, bead making has always
been the special privilege Of Venice,
in spite Of all foreign attempts 10
manufacture this article elsewhere.
The wages in glass works are for first
master about eight francs a day, for a
second master four and half francs,
and for the ordinary workmen from
two to five francs day. During the
last five years the average annual
expectation Of beads has been 25,00O
guintals, Of the approximate value Of
$500, 900 francs.
