Lightning Strikes Three Times.

lightning, and has since gradually died.

Perhaps the most unique hat in Phil
adelphia is now worn by a car driver,
says the Philadelphia Press In 1859 it
was purchased in this city by James
Buchanan, who was particular as to
what he put upon his head. The hat is
an antique, high black silk affair, with
an artistically sloping brim. The great
democratic no-coercionist discarded it
after some months use. The tile passed
into the possession of his valet, who
found 1t much too cavernous for per-
sonal utility. SO the object reposed I'M
der a decades accumulation of dust in
Spruce street attic until the valets
death. His son then became the owner
of the heirloom, and having a head
larger than the father the cylinder came
occasionally into use. Unfortunately
it was tossed off its possessor's Uranium
by reckless firemen, who inadvertently
directed stream Of water full on it
during a fire. Thus damaged. the hat
was sold for song to the car driver
who now owns IL, and he makes use of
the article daily. Inside the tile is still
the hat band. daintily embroidered with
the initials j. b., and considering its
vicissitudes the relic is in a very respect
able condition.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
A Mammoth Search Light at tho
Columbian Exposition.
It Has . Power Of 100. 0O0, 900 Candles
and It's Glare Can Be Seen at .
Distance OF Sixty Miles ON .
Clear Night.

At the worlds fair grounds the other
night the scientists in charge made a
test of the search light. which is to il
Illuminate jackson park and large parts
of the earth adjoining. The vast cleo
tric light is perched on the high tower
of the transportation building. It is a
wonderful thing. this great light whose
rays can be seen sixty miles away and
which can locate a man from ten to
twenty miles distant, according to the
power of electricity that is on.
The light is the largest and strongest
one in the world. 1t was made by
Schuckert & Co., Of Nuremberg, Ger
many, and it has been brought to this
country by Prof. Fred W. Tischendoer-
fer, mechanical and electrical expert.
He brought the immense light to this
country expressly for the worlds fair.
and it will be on exhibition until after
October 81, when it will be taken down
until the opening of the fair next year.
The light is what is known as a four
foot refector-that is, the great magni-
flying glass; through which the rays are
thrown to such a distance, is four feet
in diameter.
The direct power of the light IS $780,
900 candles, without any glass whatever.
With the big glass, however, the power
is magnifed to 100, 900, 600 candle power.
The carbons used in the radiator are
twelve inches long and one and quarter
inches in diameter. They are fastened
inside the lamp merely with two up
right pieces of steel The lamp itself is
operated on sortof carriage something
after the manner of Maxim gun. 1t
can be turned in any direction and can
be tilted so that the rays will ascend
straight up.
This big search light has only been
in Chicago few days. 1t was made
expressly for exhibition at the fair by
the German firm. The test was grand
success. Under the searching rays
every portion of the fair grounds could
be as distinctly seen as in the broad rays
of the sun. The Columbian guards en-
circling the grounds could easily be dis
cerned as they paced their beats.
When the full power Of the light was
turned on the city of Chicago could be
viewed distinctly, though the night was
anything but clear. Prof. Tischen-
doerfer claims that on a perfectly clear
night Michigan City, across the lake,
would be perfectly visible. He also
claims that on snch night the rays
from the lamp could be seen by persons
sixty miles away.

The Only Arctic Explorer Who Knew

who courteously directs them to the
east room, says the Washington Post.
He is officer John Kenny, and the his
tory of his experiences would make the
most interesting reading Imaginable.
Mr.. Kenny was a sergeant in the
Seventh cavalry some years ago, and
was the first man torvclunteer his serv-
ices as member of the Greedy relief
expedition, which was to start on a
perilous voyage into the North seas in
search of Lieut.. Greedy and his men.
The terrible experience of that expedi-
ton is well known. Some one asked
him the other day what he thought of
the Peary expedition. His eyes lighted
up with enthusiasm.
Lieut.. Peary is the only explorer
who has gone into the northern ice
who knew exactly what he was going
to do. 1 confess didn't think he would
be successful, because l never thought
he could reach the top of the ice-cap,
but he had his plans laid all right and
knew what he was about and COM
pleted his work nobfy. People who
have never seen that ice cap cannot inn
agine what an awful obstacle it is to
surmount. 1t looks as if an enormous
piece of the earth's surface had just
been turned up and stood on end and
kept there. Words cannot describe it,
and man can climb all day and then
in the evening lean over and drop bis
cult into the very camp he left hours
before. Peary went at it in a business
like way, and after he reached the ice
pack beyond he had comparatively
easy time. Yes, sir, in my opinion he
is the only Arctic explorer who ever
showed he knew anything about his
work"
