All About Lightning.

1. AS to the term "forked lightning"
the representations of it given by ar
lists, which resemble the so-called
thunderbolts placed in the hand Of
Jupiter, are quite absurd. The fash,
when photographed, exhibits itself as
a line which is continually changing it's
course and is described as intensely
crooked" by very careful observer.
It never proceeds for a time in a
straight line, and then turning at q
sharp angle, going on further in an
equally straight line, as is represented
in pictures. The forking of it is very
marked and this occurs by side-fashes
passing off from the main track and
eventually losing themselves. like the
ramifcations of tree roots. Occasion
ally the lightning appears to start
from point from which several flashes
diverge in different directions.
2. "Sheet lightning" Whenever a
flash passes from cloud to cloud
or from cloud to earth, the light
produced by it Eliminates the
sky in the neighborhood, and the
more intense the fash the more
brilliant and extensive the illumina-
ton. At times sheet lightning has
been proved to emanate from al Ordi-
nary storm, distant more than one hun
dred miles from the point of observa-
ton. It is, however, maintained, and
apparently with good reason, that oc-
casionally lightning of the "sheet"
type, such as what is called Summer
lightning" takes place without any
4hJ7%o hot
tual thunder storm is in progress.
3. "Globular lightning" -This is a
rare phenomenon, and one which no
one has as yet been able to produce in
the laboratory, whereas the phenomena
of the two previous types are easily
produced. The general description of
the occurrence is that luminous ball
is seen moving very slowly, not touch
ing any object, and eventually break
ing up with violent explosion and the
appearance of several flashes of ordina-
ry lightning. It is reported that per-
sons have gone out from g. house into
street to follow such ball and watch
it's movements, so that the occurrence
must have lasted at least number of
seconds. Ordinary lightning, as is
well known, is practically quite in
Simultaneous. The size of the ball on
different occasions has varied from that
Of an orange to that of large glass
lamp globe, or even larger. Many
physicists refuse to believe any ac-
counts OF this manifestation of electric
al discharge, but the reports of it are
too numerous and circumstantial for us
to consider them entirely baselesS.-

Commander veazey,s Career.

Wheelock G. Veazey was born in
Rockingham County, New Hampshire,
about ffty-three years ago, and was ed
ucated at Phillips, Exeter Academy,
Dartmouth College, and the Albany Law
School. He had just begun practice in
| Springfield, VT, when the war broke
out. At the close of his military SER
vice he resumed practice at Rutland, in
partnership with the Hon. Redfeld
Proctor, the present Secretary of
War. He enlisted as private in
the Third Vermont Volunteers early in
1861, was chosen Captain of Com
pany A, and promoted to be Major
and Lieutenant Colonel that summer.
The Colonel of the regiment was William
E. Smith, who afterward became popu-
larly known as General "Baldy" Smith.
Being a West Point man he gave his
command thorough discipline, and it dis
tinguished itself at Lee Mills, the first
battle of the peninsular campaign in
1862 BY this time, however, it's colonel
had been made q general, and was in
command of a division, and Colonel
VeaZey was his chief staff and was en-
gagged in all the battles of the peninsular
campaign. In addition to a leading law
practice in 1864 he accepted an appoint
ment as reporter of the decisions of
the Supreme Court of Vermont, and held
the office eight years, publishing nine vol
umes He was State Senator in 1928,
and leading member of that body.
Still continuing to practice law, he was
appointed register in bankruptcy in 1873,
which he held until the law was repealed.
In 1879 he was chosen a Judge of the
Supreme Court of Vermont, and held
this office for ten years, becoming dis
tinguished for judicial learning and
probity, and being called to preside at
nisi prius over the most difficult trials in
the State. In 1879 he was appointed by
the Governor commissioner to report
to the Legislature upon court expenses,
with view to retrenchment and reform.
Soon after going on the bench he was
appointed commissioner for revising
the statutes of the State. In 1889 he
was appointed by President Harrison an
Interstate Commissioner and this office
he holds at the present time.

A Sabine Love Story.

Not pretty word, perhaps, but
then she said it so prettily!
She was sweet little thing, and
when she put her hands on. her hips,
lifted up her saucy little face, and,
looking at YOU with half-shut eyes,
emitted this provoking monosyllable,
it flew as straight and swiftly to its
mark as any shaft in Cupid's culver.
And just because the little mink was
perfectly conscious of the effect of her
"Pshaw!" she uttered it on all public
occasions.
She said "Pshaw!" to everybody and
without any apparent reason, but
there was one to whom she said it
more frequently than 10 anybody else,
and for the very best of reasons. For
he loved her, and she pretended that
she didn't love him, and so for long
time "Pshaw!" was all the answer the
poor fellow got to his prayers and pro-
testations.
II love you'll"
"Pshaw!"
"I would give my life for kiss from
your lips"
"Pshaw!"
II will blow out my brains if you re-
fuse to listen to me~
"Pshaw!" said she, bringing her
laughing face still closer to his, SO that
her tempting red lips fairly touched
his beard.
She wasn't bit afraid of him, you
see, but he. poor fellow, was Still-a lit
tie afraid of her, and she drove him
almost crazy with her coquetry. At
last he lost all patience, and coming
upon her unexpectedly one evening he
said never word, but took her in his
arms and covered her face with kisses.
She struggled and screamed like a
captured bird. and as uselessly, for
the victorious lover paid no attention
to her remonstrances, but kissed her
hair, brow, cheeks, and lips with the
concentrated passion of months OF
desire.
And as he grew holder, and, drawing
her on his knee, kissed her white throat
and clasped her yet more passionately,
struggling and had recourse to tears
and entreaties.
"Let me go, oh! Please, let me go!"
"Pshaw" said he. He didn't say it
as prettily as she did, and he didn't
have such saucy little face, but then
he was good deal stronger, and
Well. when he did release her, there
were more tears and some reproachful
chances, and then a sweet little kiss of
forgiveness, given without the least
compulsion. She never said "Pshaw""
to him again-that is, not when she
had on her best frock and wanted to
keep her hair in order, and they are to
be married next week, 1 believe

distances have been conjectured, the
astronomer knows that III reality all Of
them, save three or four, lie at dis
tances too great to be measured by
any instruments weshave at present.
Astronomers agree in fixing the dis
lance of the nearest fixed star at
%, 600, 600, 100000 miles, and it is GER
tain that the distance of Sirius is
more than th~ee and less than six
times that of Alpha Centauri, most
likely about five times, so that we are
probably not far from the truth if we
set the distance of Sirius at about
100, 900, 900, 600, 900 miles. What vast
distance is this that separates us from
that start Words and figures them
selves fail to convey to our minds any
adequate idea of it's true character.
To take common example of illus
trating such enormous distances: Ih
is calculated that the ball from an
Armstrong 10O-pounder quits the gun
with the speed of about four hundred
yards per second. Now, if this velocity
could be kept up, it would require no
fewer than 100000, 900 years before the
ball could reach Sirius.

Something of q Trickster

He was pretty bright boyle was
a minister's son, by the way. which
explains it-and he got away with a
designing shop-keeper in a way that
did credit to his parentage. The
dealer had been practicing some
sleight-of-hand tricks, and when the
boy strolled in he selected him for q
subject.
"You see this pebble?" said he as he
rolled it in the palm of his hand. Now
you don't, but you'll find a nickel on
the brim of your hat"
He reached over and took the nickel.
"Just watch this now," he continued.
The boy did so. The pebble was trans
formed TO nickel.
"Was that my pebbles" inquired the
youth cautiously.
Certainly" was the answer.
Not content with one exhibition of
his smartness, he rolled the pebble in
his hand and it disappeared. The boy
picked the nickel off his hat himself
and faded out of the shop with the re-
mark, IF that was my pebble, then
this must be my nickel" The propri-
etor was too much astonished at his
logic to object, and the minister is
worldly enough to enjoy his sons per-
Torrance and stop writing his sermon
to laugh in his sleeve at the cuteness
of the chip of the old block. ST

A Far-Of Star.

It is difficult to conceive that the
beautiful dog star is globe much
larger than our sun, yet it is fact
that Sirius is sun many times more
mighty than our own This splendid
star, which, even in our most powerful
telescopes, appears as a mere point of
light, is in reality a globe emitting so
enormous quantity of light and heat
that were it to take the place of our
own sun every creature on this earth
would be consumed by it's burning
rays.
Sirius shining with far greater lus-
ter than any other star, it was natural
that astronomers should have regarded
this as being the nearest of all the
fixed" stars; but recent investigation
on the distances of the stars has shown
that the nearest to US is Alpha Cen
tauri, a star belonging to the southern
latitude, though it is probable that
Sirius is about fourth on tie list in the
order of distance For, though there
are about fifteen or twenty stars whose

WHY He Did Not Sneak.

One OF the most singular OF Leon
Gambetta's personal supporters. and a
stanch supporter, too, of the French
Republic all his life, died recently in
Paris. The drolleries of this man, DR..
Emile Vernhes, amused politicians of
ali parties, and though he never made
a speech in the Chamber, he was not
without influence He became amem-
Der of the Chamber of Deputies in
1876, ana remained a member as long
as he lived
Doctor Vernhes was a native of the
south of France, and, like many ma
tives of that region, possessed remark
able exuberance of character as we'll
as a marked accent. Public men he
Familiarity called "thee" and "thou"-a
privilege of intimacy in France-and
told them exactly what he thought of
them; and he was SO spontaneous and
manifestly honest in his opinions that
nobody thought of taking offense at
either his familiarity or his criticisms.
He was always getting ready to
make great speech in the Chamber,
but never made it. At one time, when
the state of Europe was much dis
turbed, he went about declaring, cat
last the time has come for me to throw
light upon the darkness. and bring
order out of chaos"
He demanded the floor for speech,
and obtained it. Gambetta was then
President of the Chamber. Vernhes
had oeen unfolding to everybody a
great plan for the relief of Europe of
certain troublesome questions. This
plan was to remove the Sultan across
the Bosphorus and establish the Pope
In Constantinople.
AS Vernhes went up to the tribune
"a sort of pulpit from which addresses
are delivered in continental European
parliaments-in order to begin his IA
nous speech, Gambetta beckoned to
him. Vernhes stepped up to the pre-
siding officers chair, and Gambetta
whispered to him a moment. And
then, without delivering his address,
Vernhes went down and resumed his
seat.
"Why didn't you speak?" friend
asked him after the session was over.
"Oh, you see, said Vernhes, Il had
some great things to say; but Leon
made very just observation as was
going up. Says he, DO you suppose
these people cali understand your
southern dialect?' I'm afraid not, ,
says I. Well says Leon, I'll tell
you what we'll do; we'll dine together
tomorrow night, and you can make
your speech to me!' Nothing better,
