The invention Of an improved method Of
protecting buildings from lightning, in
troduced by the editor Of Science, is based
on the large electrical capacity of fine
powder scattered in dielectric. The cleo
trical discharge is received on some body,
which is then dissipated in the form Of
powder, and the potential of the charge is
thereby largely reduced. The quantity of
material which it is necessary to dissipate
in order to furnish protection is not large
if the material be placed so as to serve to
the best advantage, at the most not exceed
ing a few cubic inches.

A Good Dog Story.

In Golden Days the following story of a
Newfoundland dog occurs:
A particularly fine Newfoundland dog
was one day sitting on wooden bridge
over very swift stream discussing a bone
when n predatory pug came along, and n
smart alteration arose over the bone. So
violent became the debate that both sud
denly overbalanced and fell into the stream
beneath. The nearest landing place was
100 yards down, and to it the Newfound-
land betOok himself without much diff
Guilty, and after good shake was prepar-
ing to depart when he suddenly became
aware that the pug was having very hard
time of it, wildly beating the water and
showing every symptom of exhaustion.
One look was enough. In went the shaggy
coated fellow, and seiZing the other by the
collar brought his late enemy safe to land.
The two dogs then eyed each other with
perfectly indescribahle expression for some
seconds, then solemnly wagged their re-
spective tails and with dignity departed.

CAPTURED AT MANSFIELD.
Marshal Gentry Returns With a Ma,
Wanted For a Canal Fulton Burglary,


Wanted For a Canal Fulton Burglary.
In accordance with the contents OF a
letter received few days ago by Marshal
Gentry from the marshal of Mansfield,
published in the NEWS. .DEMoCRAT, the
marshal went to Mansfield yesterday and
brought back with him one John Myers.
Myers was arrested by the Mansfield
authorities on suspicion, he having in his
possession a member of articles which
appeared to have been taken from coun-
try store. Myers was held for investiga-
tion and IL is now evident that the property
was taken from Fishers tin store atCanal
Fulton. This store was broken into two
weeks since, and the safe rifled of its con-
tents. Burkmaster's blacksmith shop
was also broken into. Marshal Gentry
has reason TO believe that Myers is the
man who committed the burglary, and he
was lodged in Jail last evening.

Don't Eat When Very Tired.

Here is a PHYSICIANS advice to women
when they are feeling tired to death:"
Don't eat heartily. Drink cup OF tea and
eat cracker or two, or beat up an egg in
half pint Of milk, sweeten and flavor to
taste, and drink it. This will strengthen
you, and will not make any demands upon
your weary stomach or digestive organs.
And another thing. do not rise early In the
morning and trot all over the house doing
CHS and seeing 70 that for hours before
you eat anything.

The Tigris, large river of Asatic Tur-
key, is in the upper part of its course a
very swift stream, bringing down great
quantities of mud. At Kurna it joins the
Euphrates, and runs for many miles
through desert wastes and unpeopled past
ures until it falls into the Persian gulf
These unpeOpled wastes, though now so
barren, were in ancient times the seat of
mighty empires and inhabited by indus
trious populations. The barbarous mis-
government and incapacty of the Turks
have reduced the country to it's present
condition.

is much pleasanter not TO have a door

is true that there is one door which

is placed there in Difference to prejudice
and not TO reason. The people who build
this church think that on general prin-
ciples it is quite desirable that two doors
be provided, that upon the unusual occa-
sion both doors may be open that large
numbers may pass through both entrances.
In case of fire it is argued that the church
can be emptied much more rapidly. Now,
in truth, the extra door will not bc used
in this building, and in one story struct-
ure there is not much danger of being in

vestibule and thence to the main room,

wasted in attempts at church ventilation,
and for anything which is so desirable rs

supplying what is wanted. Now it is said
that fresh air is cheap. While this is true
as to fresh air, it is not true as to fresh air
warmed to a summer temperature during
very cold weather. The coal combination
has something TO say about the price of
warmed fresh air. There is one way to
furnish good air in the church building Of

outside.

A HADMAN'S FURY.
He Proves a Match For Three StaI-

Exciting Struggle Between Two Po-
licemen. an Expressnan and a
Desperate Lunatic.

Yesterday morning officers Campbell
and Mclaughlin started from the Police
Station for the County Jail with three
men who were to be brought before the
Lunacy Commissioners for examination
rs to their sanity. The five rode up in Hi
Greer's patrol wagon and stopped at the
County Jail, when a man named Clark,
one of the prisoners, jumped to the side
walk and started up street on run. None
OF the men were handcuffed.
officer Campbell started in pursuit,
while Mclaughlin rushed the other two
men into the Jail and came back imme-
diately to assist i'll capturing the escape.
Constable J. H. Meyer of Bouldin
Island, who was near by, captured Clark
at the corner of Seventh street, although
Campbell was close up. The latter took
hold of Clark, but was given one of the
hardest tussles he ever had. The mad
man caught him by the hand and coat,
and the two rolled over on the sidewalk.
4 number of citizens stood by and
watched the combat, but not one at
tempted TO assist in subduing the insane
man.
Officer Mclaughlin was not long in ar
irving, however, and he rushed to Camp
bell's assistance. The infuriated mad
man, who all the time imagined he was
going to be killed, fought the officers
with all the fury Of wild beast, and was
getting the better of them when Express
man Greer jumped into the fight.
Greer caught Clark by the throat and
by almost strangling him succeeded IN
making him loosen his hold upon the
officers, who then grabbed his wrists and
by their combined efforts forced them
together so that the handouts could be
applied.
The officers were abused by bystanders
for acting as roughly as they did, but
they claim that it was the only way they
could have subdued the man and pre-
vented him from escaping. They admit,
however, that the proper thing to have
done was to handcuff the men before they
left the jail, but they did not anticipate
violence from any Of them.

AN OFFICIAL IN TROUBLE.
And All About Recording a Doctors
Diploma.
It Happens to Be in Chinese Hierogly
phics and Distorted Diagrams of
the Human Form.

FCounty Clerk Rhoads is in stew, and
all because of the law which requires
practicing physicians to record with the
clerks OF their respective counties copies
of their diplomas.
Yesterday a Chinese doctor called at the
Clerks office with sheet about foot
and half square, the contents of which,
he said, he wanted recorded, it being his
medical diploma, issued by Chinese
doctor factory.
Mr.. Rhoads unrolled the scroll and
nearly tainted when his eyes rested on
its contents. The upper half contained a
mass of Chinese hieroglyphics, while the
lower half was covered with about fifty
coarse outline sketches of the human
figure, each being full of similar char
acters. These were grouped in various
portions of the body, as if to indicate the
different organs.
There is not word of English on the
alleged diploma, and how he is to copy
the strange characters and figures into a
book is what puzzles Clerk Rhoads.
Deputy Wachhorst, who is getting TO
be quite handy at sketching, might be
able to follow the erratic lines Of the hui
man figures, but there is no one in the
office who feels competent to copy the
characters, nor to compare them with the
original.
Deputy Doody declares he will resign
rather than undertake either job, while
deputies Whitmore and Robinson were
shrewd enough to adopt the Chinese
method and simply looked innocent and
said mo shabbee'' when asked if they
could properly record the document.
In sheer desperation Clerk Rhoads
went into Judge Van Fleets chambers
for advice. He unrolled the strange
looking document before the Judge, eX-
planned what it purported to be, and
asked what he should do with it.
"By Go-rham's beard !" calculated the
Judge, that beats anything | ever saw
However, Mr.. Rhoads, you have but one
duty TO perform-you must record it.
But / would advise you to first insist
that the proprietor OF the document shall
furnish you with translation of it into
English"
But who," asked Rhoads, with agony
depicted in every feature of his face
'who will translate these horrible look
ing things at the bottom ?''
Judge Van Fleet tried to look very seri-
Gus as he courteously but firmly waved
the clerk away with the remark: "That
is another matter, Mr.. Clerk, and one
over which this court has no jurisdiction.
Remove the parchment ~
There is just a chance for the suspicion
that somebody has put up an awful iot
on the County Clerk, but he is too de-
Spondent in his misery to take so hope
ful view of the case. He believes he is
in for it.
