To the uninitiated it is great puzzle how
the dangers of lightning are averted where
there are so many conductors of electricity
as in telegraph Office. More than 1900
different wires come into the Western Union
building, and run more or less directly to the
desks of the operators. Even when less
electric attractions are wanting, most people
confess 70 certain feeling of insecurity
when the elements rage and wake up terrify
ing flashes of forked fury. Nearly half tho
operators are young women, and they may
be expected to share the general sentiments
of their sex concerning this uncertain and
wicked looking force But science has pro
vided an answer to this, as well as TO almost
all other puzzles which stand in the way Of
human progress.
Every wire, as it enters the building,
passes through the bottom of long narrow
board, and then again through it at the top
This board is a lightning arreSter. II the
current is heavy, its first effect is 10 deprive
Of it of much of its force Should even this
fail 10 deprive the current of its fatal power,
and it passes on TO the top Of the board, it
touches spring which drops instantly and
shuts Of all connection with the operating
room The spring is called the plush mag
net, and beyond it no overcharge of light
ming, whether proceeding from storm or
from contact with other wires, can possibly
60. Absolute security from outside elec-
trical influences is thus insured. The wires
proceed directly from the street to the
switchboard in the operating room, where
they are stopped. The wires attached to the
machines in the room all run to this board,
and connections are established there with
the through lines.-New York Tribune.

According 10 DR.. l. Conn0r, Of Detroit,
hot water has most beneficial action on
morbid state of the eye 1t is safe without
the watchful care Of the physician, while
poultices are unsafe and unreliable mears OF
applying heat TO the eye. The water should
be as hot as the forelnger viii bear without
discomfort The best method is TO take q
common tumbler, Gil it TO the brim with hot
water, and, inclining the head slightly for
ward, apply tie rim Of the tumbler TO tho
side Of the nose and 10 the brow and cheek
about the eye, which brings the eye itself
actually into the water. The water loses its
heat slowly, and does not require frequent
changing. The eye may be kept in hot water
with very little trouble for hours at time
Antiseptics may be added, and the remedy
is easily attainable with means for applica-
ton

might have been avoided if the nature Of the

Tommari Crudeli, the discoverer OF TIE
malarial germ, advocates the use of decoc-
ton Of lemon as a means OF preventing
malarial diseases, and, in conjunction with
other remedies, for curing them. He directs
for this purpose that fresh lemon be cut
into thin slices, rind as well as the pulp. and
the whole boiled with three cupfuls Of soft
water until evaporated 20 one. The result is
then strained with pressure through linen
cloth, left standing over night, and drank in

markable success with this simple means,
