Protection A~ainst lightning.

Prof. Rowland has recently shown the fallacy of many popular ideas on the subject of protection against light ming. Recent scientific study has swept away many of the old notions about conductors. The method now considered the best is to provide the buildings with metal roofs with an ample number of metal conductors reaching to the ground, which will receive and carry off the lightning. Copper is the best material, but tin or iron will answer the purpose, the placing of conductors at the corners of buildings so that all parts will be equally protected being advisable. Prof Rowland considers that all patented lightning-rods are of little value beyond conducting rods that any man can put up himself, The simple underlying principle is that lightning will follow the best conductor. In speaking of the avoidance of danger in a thunderstorm Prof. Rowland says that an iron bcdstcad would probably be about as safe {; refuge as could be found during a storm, providing the ground connection was perfect.

THIS country beats the world for tacks, and sends them by the billion to house. wives in every quarter of the globe. The tack making machinery too, is wonder of semi intelligent mechanism. It would be even more wonderful. but for single difficulty that has not } tt been overcome. An intrllISeit observer in tack mill conceived the idea of utilizing electric ity in such d manner as to increase the ! out put of every tack machine tenfold.
 His idea Was to pick up the metallic blanks from N Inch the lacks are made, ten at time, hy means of d series of magnets. When he had his idea perfect ed he showed it to the greatest of tack makers. The manufacturer looked it over carefully and said That is ex- tremely ingenious: but do you know that the blow which cuts out the metal lie blank converts it into magnet and that your magnet would not pick up the magnetized blank unless you could be sure of citing opposite poles together.

start from New York and in 8 few days land in Paris without change of cars.
 This may be feasible scheme on pa per, but is it possible of accomplish ment? It looks reasonable that modern engineering skill should be able to con- road enthusiast with map before him and pencil in his hand can easily lay out road to connect either the North ern Pacific or the Canadian Pacific rail way with Cape Prince of Wales. In the same way a road can be built from the Siberian Pacific railway across north eastern Siberia to East Cape. Barriers would, of course, be in the way, as those acquainted with the country would know, but these would probably not appear any greater to him than those that engineering skill has already overcome in other parts of the world. not even excepting the greatest barrier, that of bridging the straits.
 It would, I think, be comparatively easy to construct railway through the great Northwest territory of British America to the borders of Alaska. Such a road would open up to the world a vast region, rich in agricultural possl- bilitieS and timber and mining re- sources; and such a road, or most of it, will probably be built within few years. Such a road, too, could proba- bly, be extended from the borders of Alaska at least to the Yukon river, and perhaps even to Cape Prince of Wales, without encountering great difficulties in construction. There would be vast mountain ranges to go around or tunnel | through, and there would be great river courses to bridge. But modern skill is | equal to these things.
 Ignoring the question of cost the en- gineering work on the American section of the Cosmopolitan railway can be ac- complished. But it is not alone ques- tion of the construction of this road. The question of maintenance is really the vital question, for the daring of engi- neers stops at nothing nowadays. And
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-10-09

in this question of maintenance have the promoters of the scheme thought of one barrier sufficiently, that of the snow? At times the volume of the snowfall in extreme northwestern Alaska is beyond all possible estimate of those who have not seen it. The year was there the captain of our vessel went up into the country-and it was in a section that the proposed railroad would pass through-to examine a sill yer mine in which he had an interest. The mine was we'll situated on south erly slope, and as the visit was made the first week in July he naturally ex- pected to find the snow practically all gone. Instead, however, he found his mine under fifty feet or more of snow, as the fall of the previous winter had been a very heavy one.
 It is an important fact that the Els kimos understand the nature of this snowfall so well that they never build their habitations under a lee or in a protected place, for they know that to do so would be to insure burial under

The Supposed Lost La Flandre i'm Port
 After Perilous Passage.


 After Perilous Passage.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The long overdue steamship La Flandre got into port yes- terday afternoon, not at all the worse for her perilous encounter with old ocean and three healthy hurricanes.
 Captain Smuck of the steamship was seen on board of her. He said:
 We sailed from Antwerp in water ballast for New York on September 16. Three days later we ran into and sunk the German vessel Hessen Muller.
 ''We picked her ten men up and landed them at Plymouth We then put to sea again. On September 25 we encoun- tered hurricane, and three days later another one, but they were nothing to the hurricane that struck us on the afternoon of October 5.
 ''The wind came out of the southeast veered around to east by southeast, veered again to south ard, then to west lard, and went all the way around to northwest ard. have been at sea 35 years, before the mast and as an officer, but I never such 8 storm in my life.
 "We were always under the water; the waves were like mountains. The barometer fell actually to 28 59, and that is the lowest I ever heard of. had never seen it before below 65. We came out of it all right.''

CARRIES HIS OWN TOOLS.
A Mysterious old Gentleman Who Bring
 the Tableware with Him.

A Mysterious old Gentleman Who Brings
 the Tableware with Him.
 There is an old man who frequents a Clark street restaurant who carries his own knife and fork. Exactly at twelve o'clock each day he appears. A seat in the corner is always reserved for him. Barring this one eccentricity, says the Chicago Tribune, the old mans behavior is that of a perfect gentleman. A polite bow to the cashier, nod to the waiter, and then he sits down with a great deal of deliberation. The knife and fork he carries in a small leather bag, which has been faithful compan- ion for years. It's something of cere- mony, opening the bag and placing the contents on the table. The walters know his habits and never place a knife and fork near his plate. A green waiter once was guilty of this offense, and the old man staid away for a whole week.
 No one knows what he does for liv- ing, for he Is taciturn and never says much. It is surmised that he is clerk in a law office, but he has evidently seen better days. Some of the people about the place say that he is an Eng glishman of noble family, but as he never said SO himself this story is not generally believed. They base their belief on having noticed family crest stamped on the knife and fork. The implements are of old-fashioned make and have silver handles. The working part Is steel in both instances. This in turn has led other people who are not romantic in their tendencies to con. lecture that the old man is not dis carded scion of a noble family at all but simply and solely an honest Amer ican citizen with bad teeth who finds g steel knife and fork more helpful thar the silver-plated tools furnished by the restaurants.

JAMES MCLAUGHLIN, the jockey who rode His Highness to victory in the flu turity stakes, received check for $3, ,000 from MT Gideon for his twenty minutes of service on that occasion. That would seem to some people to be d remarkably liberal payment for the services rem dered, and it is doubtful if such d sum was ever paid a jockey in this country, except when Garrison won the suburban for Mir Belmont with Ruceland, for d single mount. Mir Gideon agreed to give $10,O00 to his traner and jockey if he won the stake, and he divided it as he thought proper, giving 5000 to the trainer, MT Iiyland, who had done all the work of getting the horse fit for the race and expended months of time in the preparation, while Mclaughlin gave but few moments of his time and re- | ceived the highest price he ever got for mount. That futurity, by the way, was supposed to be worth S60, 900 to the winner, yet Mir Gideon received but | about $30,000 the remainder being ir uncOllCcted and in many cases uncol lectable forfeits. As he did not back His Highness to win it, the stake was not, therefore, SO profitable a one as il | looked on paper.

 As the balloon foated above the Mid dleseX side Millbanl1 penitentiary, with its great array of regularly arranged buildings, presented the appearance of an octagonal implanted flower bed laid out with unusual precision.

Except for a few seen from aloft, presented the aspect of vast area of unbrObcn roof in mo- notonouS tints of slate and tile.

Picture of a Landscape Lying Vertically

 An English scientist recently made some interesting photographs of the landscape lying vertically beneath him during balloon ascent from the site of the naval exhibition on the Thames The experiment, as described by one of the party in Black and White. presents features somewhat unusual in amateur photographing, and the resulting pie lures are odd and interesting exam pics of what might be not improperly termed the ground plan of a wide prospect.
 The scientific instruments taken along for making barometric and other observations, and kodak camera. were strapped to the side of the car, as the balloon rose at Inid-afternoon of a clear day, with the sky broken only by a few clouds and with a gentle breeze blow ing from the west. To the aeronaut as- cending directly upward there is no sen sation of motion, the only indication of his progress aloft being the rapid dim mutton in size of familiar objects on the ground and the constant widening of the field of view On this occasion, with the casting off of the stay rope the balloon shot directly upward two thousand feet, during which ascent the first view, covering the grounds of the naval exhibition, was taken vertically downward from the car. At the height of two-ffths of mile above the earth persons on the ground seemed to be mere moving specl1s and groups of peo pie resembled swarms of ants. The grounds, the lake and the river ap

THE Dublin National Press of Septenl- Der 22, speaking of the exodus of emi- grants notes that tle outflow is not nearly so large as It was during the past months. This is q subject for satisfac- tion, as 1t goes clearly to show that the people are beginning to be more content with their lot in Ireland and less anxious to get away to some foreign country. Recent newspaper exposures of the seductive Inducements held out to emigrant, hy various parties interested in the colonization of the Argentine Re- public, and other far off fields of South America, have doubtless deterred many poor people in Ireland from venturing in those directions; but even to Canada, Australia and the United states the stream of emigration has mate rially dc clined. The official returns published from Washington last week, show that there have arrived in the United States from Ireland during the eight months ending August 3l, the still enormous total of 32, 351 Irish immigrants, against 0,02S during the same period last year. These figures speak for themselves.
