Danger in Thunder storms.

During the past few weeks there have
been quite a number Of people reported
killed by lightning in various sections Of
the country. In almost every instance
the victim has been either sitting on a
porch, in doorway, at window or in
some exposed place. Ifpeople want to
feel comparatively secure from light
ming, they must avoid exposure to it's
deadly work. Sitting in draught, in
an open doorway or window, is one Of
the most dangerous positions possible
during a thunder storm. On an ap-
proach of storm it is better to close up
house or room, and endure the heat
for time. than run the risk of open
windows and doors. Never under any
circumstances take shelter under tree
in a storm, and in the house keep a rea-
sonable distance away from the chin
neYs. With a reasonable degree of cau-
ton people need not be greatly alarmed
at thunder storms, as the danger is COM
paratively small

Eeryent Lightning.

Quite strange freak of lightning was
witnessed at the home of Mr.. William
Henry Morton III Athens During the
rainstorm that came up about noon a
flash of lightning struck the rod over the
house, melting it instantly. The cur.
rent was not content with this, but leaped
to the tin gutter and melted it all around
the house, pouring the molten metal in
heavy streams to the ground below The
lightning then flashed through one corn.
er of the house, paid visit to the people
in the room below, ran out along an iron
pipe to tin basin on the back piazza and
melted it completely, and followed an
iron pipe to the well, fully fifty feet from
the house The damage to the wood.

contact was melted. Atlanta Constitu.

The Sense of Smell,

The eye is used only for seeing, and
the ear for hearing, but the nose is one
OF the organs that serve double pur-
pose. 1t is not only the seat of the
sense of smell, but was intended to be
the principal organ through which man
should breathe. Its circuitous passages,
warm and moist, protect the lungs by
taking the chill from the inspired air
and arresting irritating dust.
The whole nose is not concerned in
the act of smelling. The olfactory
nerves, which alone take cognizance of
odors, are situated in the upper third of
the nasal chambers, out of the line Of
ordinary inhalation. For this reason we
do not usually notice odors unless they
are somewhat strong; but when we sniff
draw the air into the upper part of
the nostrils and hold it there for few
moments-we become aware of the faint
est scent.-Youth's Companion.

A Spiders Rapid Work.

When the common geometrical spider
has made up its mind to spin web, it
commences operations by inclosing GER
tain area with the foundation lines. To
these radiating lines are fixed, generally
about thirty in number, and all joining
in the center of the snare. When the
radii are finished the spinner proceeds
to weave the concentric lines, stretching
them from one radiating thread to an
other, and forming them of the silk
thickly studded with viscous drops.
Starting from the center Of the web,
however. the first few concentric threads
are without this popularity, the reason
being that the spider likes to sometimes
sit in the middle of its web, and natural
ly does not care to be incommoded with
the sticky matter which it prepares for
the special benefit of its prey.
When the snare is finished, n task
which often does not occupy more than
forty minutes in spite of the complicated
nature of the work, the spider weaves a
cell in some secluded spot close at hand,
connecting it with the center of the web
by means of special thread. This, by
its trembling, gives intimation of the
capture Of any insect in the web, and
also forms a pathway by which the
snugly ensconced spider is enabled to
proceed on an investigating expedition.

THOMSON AND HIS RATS.
Was Going to Have Fun Seeing Them
Swim. bat They Saw Him Swim Instead.

Was 0etng to Have Fun Seeing Them
svin, bat They Saw Him Swim Instead.
/ The question is frequently asked
whence the name OF Thomson pond, a
sheet OF water in western Maine extend
Ing through four towns and lying part
ly in three counties. Tradition says it
was named from the first settler, Joe
Thomson. During his sojourn he was
seriously troubled by rats. He first pro-
vided himself with stout leather bag
of the capacity of four bushels. He then
placed an empty hogshead in his log
bowel, leaving the bunghole open,
through which he dropped small guam
tity of meat scraps and crumbs.
u Bag in hand he retired outside to
| watch proceedings, peeking through a
small crevice between the logs. Pres
emily he espied an old, gray veteran APP
preaching the bunghole. He takes a
peep, then shifts, looks cautiously about
and then enters. He soon energies from
the hogshead and quickly disappears.
In a trice he returns, followed by a
drove amounting TO hundreds, which one
by one disappear through the bunghole.
"Now," chuckled Joe, sis my fun" as
he skipped calmly through the door and
adjusted the open mouth of the bag TO
the small aperture, at the same time rap
ping the hogshead with the toe of his
boot, which produced loud, ringing
sound. With loud squeals and fierce
struggles the frightened rats began to
scramble through the bunghole, all land
ing in the bottom of the bag.
His first thought was to drown them
by sinking the bag in the pond, but be-
ing in rather gamesome mood, rs was
often the case, he concluded to put the
bag in his boat, and after rowing to a
good distance from the shore then release
them, and with his OK goad have a good
time knocking them in the head.
Rowing out several rods from the
shore and being in high glee at the
thought of wreaking vengeance on the
''varmints" which had given so much
trouble, he without hesitation united the
bag, expecting to see the frightened crea-
lures at once leap into the water, but he
quickly found himself mistaken.
Instead of fleeing or even retreating
the rats charged in body, and with
teeth and claws SO severely lacerated his
FACE, neck and hands as to cause him to
leap from the boat and swim for the
shore, leaving the craft in the possession
of his one time victims. Jour.

Say. He Ia. Found a New Metal.

George A. Clarke, an experienced iron
worker of Boston, claims To have dis
covered an ore in the Rocky mountain.
which he believes is new to the world
He says of it:
81 took specimens Of the ore TO as
sayers in Cincinnati, Chicago and Boston
and no one of them could tell me the
name of the mineral. Then | began
here series of experiments myself, mix.
ing it with molten iron. 1t combined
perfectly with the iron, and / found
that only n small quantity was necessary
to increase the fluidty of the metal. II
rendered the iron ductile, and in low
grades acted rs n purifier. The product
of the alloy was n homogeneous metal
Of very fine pores, capable of higher
finish than before. The Stag expelled
by its use contained no metal, and was
very light. In the treatment of iron
with only one per cent. of this new ore
the formers tensile strength was IN
creased from 10 to % per cent.
Using only half of one per cent, uI
this or in mixture with copper, found
that it gave the metal greater density
and a great increase-from 90 to 100 pel
cent.-of tensile tn. The result
ing metal, too, is capable Of high polish
In word found that the ore increased
the tensile strength and the fluidity
under heat of boz these metals and
makes them both of finer grain. 1t is
non-corrosive."
Mr.. Clarke produced a handful of the
ore-a substance that looked like fine
sandstone, save that it was black, and
many pieces Of it presented highly pol
ished surfaces as smooth as a bit of glass
Mr.. Clarke refused to state the location
Of the field, which, he said, was exposed
over the space Of an acre, as he is trying
to get control Of it first.-Cor. Chicago

Shot the Horses to End the Runaway.

Deputy Marshal Tom Smith has re.
turned from the territory and tells of a
thrilling experience of his few nights
ago. He and Deputy Marshal Booker
were driving across the prairie between
midnight and day. In crossing a ditch
Booker, who was driving, pitched head
first over the dashboard on the ground.
The horses became frightened and ran.
Smith was in the buggy helpless, as the
lines had fallen outside. He had nc
knowledge of the country and did not
know what moment he would go over a
precipice or into barbed wire. He was
afraid to jump lest he should break his
neck or limb. So he leveled his Win
chester and began firing at the horses,
and three or four shots brought them
down. The horses cost Smith $3.50 apiece
but he got the man he started after
