A most singular phenomenon occurred
recently, near Colesbulg, in Hardin coun.
~, Pa. During the severe rain storm that
was then raging, bolt Of lightning struck
q tree near the place and entirely demol.
ished It, with the exception Of one limb.
The trunk and even the smallest branches
were shattered to splinters. The irRg.
ments were scattered far and wide, some
being driven into the ground and others
hurled with uncomfortable velocity Tor
hundreds Of yards In every direction.
The fatal bolt did not spare the roots In liz
fury, but followed one or two Of the main
ones a distance Of fifty feet or more, tear.
Ing the ground open In wide tracks. The
tree was perhaps two feet In diameter, fifty

flash was heard three oriourmiles around
and all the houses shaken. Such whole

A Possible Cause and u Method Of Pre-.

Possible CAUSE and Method Of Pre-.
venti"n-Try Undertakings.
Writing about the cause Of floods, cor
respondent Of the Germantown Telegraph
says that the one main cause is freshe.s,
and tho drainage Of the lands thus ex.
posed is another. lie thinks that the rem.
edy is in the evil itself; if ditchipg has
brought these catastrophes, ditching must
cure them. "Not the open drains which
take the wash Of tho valuablopart OF the
soil, but tho underdrain which takes the
surplus OF the subsoil. Lands thoroughly
undetermined become reservoirs to the
depth OF the drains. II these are three
feet in depth, q very large rainfall will be
absorbed before there is any outtl,w, and
when it begins it lasts long time after the
rain ceases. II we imagine the country
bordering the Ohio perfectly underdrained
that ia, having drains not to exceed
three rods apart and three icot in depth
then instead Of q few inches OF leai.mold
and NOES, as in the primary forest, We have
three feet OF spopgy coil able to retain them
partially dry from three to six inches OF
rainfall, and throws eli surplus in steady
stream for weeks after receiving it, In
order to receive full benefit open drains
must be abolished and the undertaking
thoroughly done. The cost OF this plan
would be more than met by the increased
value OF the land and the increase and Ger.
tainty Of crops. The destruction OF
property, or the cost OF the proposed eleya.
ton Of tho exposed portion Of the cities
and defensive measures employed, would
go lar in periecsing thiseyetem Of drainage,
gigantic aa it may appear"
This, he thinks, is the only solution OF
the question Of the cause Of floods and how
best to prevent them. Flo has no hone
that tree.planting will ever become general
enough 10 accomplish much in the direc.
!ion Of preventing floods because "tLe
trees are not wanted on fsrmin. lands, and
the talk Of planting thousands and mil
lions Of acres OF forest is the idleat theor;z

farmer that he can grow more on TIRES.

1t is quite possible that the removal OF

Cheap lsUuiulhe sut,ii,

The low price at which iron is said to be
made in the South is used by free traders
as conclusive reason why there ehould be
protective tariff on iron manufactures. A
certain contract made by Mr.. II. F. Ds Bar
de!eben, Of Birmingham, Alabama, with
the Phillips 4 Burtof Manufacturing Com.
pany, Of Nashville, has been the subject OF
much discussion.
The terms Of the contract as given by
those who profeas to know provide for de.
livery OF seventy tons Of pig day, for
ten years, twenty tons at Nashville, and
fifty tons at Elyton, Alabama. The pur.
chasers are to increase the capacity OF their
Nashville foundry twenty tons day. Mr..
Dc Bardleben is TO put up furnace Of one
hundred tons capacity at Eyton. where he
has no furnace now, and the Nashville
company is to erect there foundry to con.
sumo Mr.. Ds Bsrdleben's pig. Tho iron ia
to be furnished at sla so per ton at the
furnace.
Mr.. Ds Blrdleben has been asked what
truth II any there is in the rumor. He
replies that he is not yet ready to reyea!
his plans, but he would say that "i1on has
never been made in the South for lees than
Sl2 80 a ton."
Itappears that Mr.. Da Bardelebsn hiss
several Thousands acres OF land Mt E!iytou.
He bought tho land cheap aud intends to
found manufacturing city there. This
being true lie can well afford to give his
enterprise a start by selling at cost fifty
tons Of iron day to be worked up on the
spot. In the natural order OF things his
real estate would come into market, a yen.
eral manufacturing activity would be
born, city would spring up, md Mr.. Do
Bardslsben would realize the reward OF q
long headed and plucky business man..
A similar scheme OF city building has
paid handsomely at Birmingham. Another
venture OF the same kind in Northern
Alabama is Sheffield, well located, laid out
on largo ecale as manufacturing city,
and yet to be built. The Ssney railroad
syndicate is at the back OF it. There was a
successful "opening" aud sale Of lots lust
week, and the scheme Seems to DO boom.
ing. Sheffield is expected to give value to
mineral lands, farm and railroad property.
Our own thriving Wet Virginia city Of
Huntington is an example Of city made
to order.
II this is what Mr.. De Bsrdeleben is alter
his pig iron contract iaeasily understood; at |
any rate it does not make much Of hole in |
the doctrine OF a protective tariff, without
which Americans would not DO building
cities. .'T

IN A DEE q MINE.

The deepest coal mine in America is
the Pottsville, in Pennsylvania. The
shaft is one thousand five hundred and
seventy-six feet deep. From its bottom,
almost third of mile, two hundred
cars, holding four tons each, are lifted
every day. They are run up platform,
and the whole weight Of six tons is
hoisted at a speed that makes the head
swim, the time occupied in lifting full
car being little more than minute.
The hoisting and lowering men into coal
mines is regulated by law in that State,
and only ten men can stand on plat
form at once, under penalty of heavy
fine However, carelessness cannot be
prevented, and unaccustomed visitors are
appalled, by it.
"A person OF weak nerves, says cor
respondent, "should not brave the ordeal
by descending the Pottsville shaft. The
machinery works like hotel elevator,
but the speed is SO terrific that one seems
falling through the air. The knees after
few seconds become weak and tremu-
lous, the ears ring as the drums of these
organs are forced inward by the air press,
ure, and the eyes shut Involuntary as
the beams of the shaft seem to dash up
ward only a foot or two away. As one
leaves the light of the upper day, the
transition to darkness is something fan.
tastie. The light does not pass into
gloom in the same fashion as our day
merges into night, but there is kind Of
phosphorescent glow, gradually becoming
DINNER and DINNER. Half way down
you pass with roar and sudden crash,
the ascending car; and at last, after what
seems several minutes, but it is only
fraction OF that time, the platform begins
to slow up, halts at gate, and through
it you step into crowd Of creatures
with the shapes of men, but with the
blackened faces, the glazing eyes, and
wild physiognomies OF iiends.
