DIAMETER OF A THUNDERBOLT.
Curious Points About the Fulgurite. Some
times Known Lightning Holes.

did you ever see the diameter of a
lightning flash measured?' asked a
geologist. "Well, here is the case
which once inclosed a flash of light
ming, fitting it exactly, so that you
can just see how big it was This is
called a 'fugurte,' or lightning hole,
and the material it is made of is glass
| will tell you how it was manufac-
tured. though it took only fraction
of second to turn it out. When a
bolt of lightning strikes bed of sand
it plunges downward into the sand a
distance, less or greater, into glass the
silica in the material through which it
passes. Thus, by its great heat. it
forms at once glass tut be Of precicely
its own size. Now and then such a
tube, known as fulgurite, is found
and dug up. Fulgurites have been
for nearly thirty feet. They vary in
interior diameter from the size of a
quill of three inches or more, accord
inc to the bore of the flash. But full
gurites are not alone produced in sand :;
they are found also in solid rocks,
though very naturally of slight depth,
and frequently existing merely as a
thin CLASSY coating on the surface.
Such fulgurites occur in astonishing
abundance on the summit of Little
Ararat in Armenia. The rock is so
soft and so porous that blocks foot
long can be obtained, perforated in all
directions by little tubes filled with
bottle-green glass formed from the
fused rock.
There is a small specimen in the
National museum which has the APP
pearance of having been bored by the
torpedo, the holes made by the worm
subsequently filled with glass. l may
add that Charles Darwin mentions
these fulgurites in his book of travels,
and Humboldt found some on the high
Nevada de Zoluca, in Mexico. Hum

The Truth and the Woman.

When he came home that night he
was more drunk than usual. The
drudge who called herself his wife was
and roared out:
$50 you've lost whole day, eh?"
She struggled to get away, but he
tightened his grip, leered at her and
said:
you do nothing but eat, eat and
eat! When try to correct you, you
cry, don't you?"
He pinched her arm till she
screamed.
Got any money!" he bawled.
"For mercy's sake, Steve, leave me!
The little girl is sick. | was home

work. That job for the steamboat will

"Send the brat out to beg!"
He kicked her as she lay there on
the floor. Then he closed the door
with bang and went out in the
night.
That next afternoon the woman APP
peared before the coroner to tell what
she knew of the sudden death of her
husband, Steve Durand, the result of
a fearful fall in the dark passage lead
ing to the street.
She was very pale but it was not the
pallor of suffering alone.
"All | know, SIR" she said, in low
voice, as she took the stand, "is that
he came home that night, threw his
arms around my neck and kissed me
several times. He said he was so glad
that all our hard times would soon be
over. He had secured new job and
it was to pay very well. We were so
happy. When he left me he was going
down to the grocery store to order a
barrel of flour and bushel of pota-
toes. But, instead, he went to his
death. That's all l know, sir" IN Y.

MUST NOT BARK AT SHEEP.
That Is the Decision of an English Court
In n Collie Dog Case.

Like most movements born of 1.-The
enthusiasm of humanity" that for the
protection of animals from brutal
usage occasionally shows a tendency
to run into extremes. Here. for in
stance, says the London Globe, is a
case at Warrington of a young butcher
who had to answer for allowing his
collie to "worry sheep" one of flock
which was being driven along the high
road
According to the evidence the said
worrying" consisted in barking and
"chiyvying" in the manner customary
with sheep dogs; perhaps an occasional
pull at the wool was given, but few
collies would intlict real injury on their
charges. One of the magistrates,
however, raised the question of cruelty
out of that narrow groove by express
ing the opinion that the act is broken
when dog is allowed to bark at and
run after q sheep.
That causes some degree of mental
suffering to the timid victim, and
therefore amounts to cruelty. The
collie will be amazed to hear this mag
isterial pronouncement; all of the
days of his life, since puppyhood, it
has been his special vocation to run
after and bark at his masters focks.
There was no cruelty in his mind; he
did it as matter of duty in the state
of life to which he had been called.
Nor will droyers be less astonished to
learn that their canine assistants must
for the future jog along quietly at their
heels. But the main question, after
all. is whether sheep and cattle would
fare better if driven by human
agency alone than under the present
system.
They may be terrified by barking.
but certainly not more than they
would be by beloved execrations,
while an occasional nip with canine
teeth can scarcely inf1ict so much pain
as the drover's cudgel. In the nature
of things, these animals must be
driven somehow, and we believe that,
If they were allowed voice in the
matter, they would vote for govern
ment by collie.

He Is Sole Arbiter.

At common law. and in the great
majority of States, wife, however
wealthy she may be in her own right,
may yet claim and receive from her
husband necessaries suitable to his
means, however poor he is. is the view
of a writer in the Chautauquan.
And there are very few States where
q wife's property may be taken in
payment for necessaries for herself or
for the family, even if the husband is
penniless and cannot pay.
Unless, of course, the wife contracts
for necessaries on her own credit, in
stead of his, in which case she and
her property may now be held nearly
everywhere. But the support which
she can claim is only such as accords
with her husbands means, not her
own.
And he is the sole arbiter as to the
place where the family shall live and
the manner of life, so that it be rea-
sonable and healthful and comfortable.
In recent case, wife owned fine
house and estate, where she wished to
reside with her husband and family,
but he required her to live elsewhere
with him in much humber fashion.
probably expecting her to lease her
own place and apply the rent money to
family expenses.
1t was held that she must go with
him where he chose to establish his
family domicile, and that if she re-
fused to do SO it would be desertion on
her part.

WORK OF ONE CIGARETTE STUB.
Ruin of q Vast Grazing Ground and Star
walton to Thousands of Animals.

A number of hunters in the Gros
Ventre range, Wyoming, one day in
August, 1882 were smoking as they
rode along. One carelessly cast his
cigarette stub on the grass beside the
trail. Usually it would have died there
and no harm come from it, but a
breeze was blowing that famed it till
a dry blade of grass famed up. The
hunters had just passed around bend
and did not see the flame. An hour
later fire that threatened all the
grass south of the Gross Ventre river
was raging and the few settlers there
were riding from ranches even thirty
miles away to save the range their cat.
tie needed. One man followed and
brought back the hunters and for the
rest of the day more than score of
men galloped up and down to confine
the flames to the canyons and noun
tains east of the valley. They sue
ceeded, and the ranchers worn out
rode home to rest. Some hundreds of
square miles of mountain sides and the
bottom lands in the canyons were
burned over.
Later came winter and the deep
snow common to that country. With
the snow came herds of elk from the
mountain tops to feed in the thickets
along the brooks between the noun
tains. 1t was their regular practice,
and they had always lived there in
peace the winter through, for the set
tiers killed only what were needed for
food. But this winter, instead of
nourishing grasses and twigs, the
thautduQadn says the unfortunate ami
mails found only charred stubs and
blackened sods. Goaded by their
hunger they came out upon the plains
and about the ranches of the set
tiers. At first they fled at the sight of
man, but by January cared nothing
for one. They mingled with the cat
tie; they leaped over fences built high
to exclude them; they attacked the
haystacks in spite of armed men stand
ing there on guard. They died of
starvation by the thousands, and one
who drives up the valley sees hundreds
of whitened antlers where the elk fell
on the plains and thousands of dead
and blackened tree trunks on the
mountain side.

At this his eye lighted and he smiled

The Name "Chlna."

Upward of LOO years before Christ
the Chinese were people ruled by a
dynasty of kings, of whom, like the
Pharaohs of old, there is no clear his
tory. and not until the Chow dynasty,
b. c. 1925, is there any clear history
of the main Chinese states. The Chi
nese take their history back to the
time of Noah. This ancient empire
has in its time borne many names, for
it was custom when new dynasty
assembled the throne to give another
name to the empire, as Hai-que, Cham
que, Han-que, ETC., according to the
name of the ruling monarch. The
true name is said to be Chum-que,
"the center kingdom of the world"
This term was by usage corrupted to
Chin-que, and from this word the Por-
tuguese gave it the name of China. -
