humanity from Lightning Darts.

number of scientific men have been
experimenting with powerful discharges
of electricity, and have made discoveries
that are important in securing immunity
from cloud discharges OF electricity in the
form OF lightning. The preventive of
danger from lightning is exceedingly
simple. 1t is nothing more than three
or four layers of wire mosquito netting
spread over and about the object to be
protected. According to these expert
menters, keg of powder may be en-
veloped in these protectors and the veriest
thunderbolt cannot explode it. In the
future we may expect to see our homes
enveloped In mosquito netting, while the
pedestrian who is called out when the
tickle lightning darts hither and thither,
VIII put on his wire mosquito net hat,
and run copper conductor to his boot
heels. But levity aside, If the discovery
is what the experimenters claim for it, its
value will be utilized in many ways. 1t
is claimed that the many fine wires
furnish such variety of avenues for the
dispersion of the electrical fluid, that is
readily conducted into the ground with
out the least damage to the most impress
sionable substances. The cost of the
electrical dispenser is small, While Its
applicability is great.

There Is vain self confidence which
rushes unabashed into every scene,
and feels equal to undertake whatever
Is presented. This. however, Is very
different from self-Lossession, which
comes from o true estimate Of our
powers. He who possesses himself In
this latter sense will be as careful to
abstain from what he is unable to per-
form as To execute whatever rightly
falls to his lot. He will be modest and
unassuming as he is energetic and un-
tiinching, for he will know his limita
tions as we'll as he does his powers.
The best practical way Of securing this
self posse ssi0n, where we feel ito lack,
Is in continual practice. There are
certain things which every one should
be prepar ed to do, certain scenes that
every one should be prepared to enter,
certain crises that every one should be
ready to meet. These none of us must
shrink from when they come, but do
our best every time, resolutely calling
to our aid all the reason and good sense
that we can command. Each time W @
force ourselves to this course the task
grows easier, and at length We arrive at
that condition of calm assurance with
regard to our performance of them which
alone gives self possession.
