A. II. Ekle Prop, LIZ East JACKSON ST.
In nearly every nation or tribe
there remains some tribute or remem-
brance of their dead. This custom
varies from the simple mound to the
pyramid from the wooden tablet to the
mausoleum according to the degree
of culture. In our day neglected duty
in the matter of tombstone or monu-
ment will bring upon the friends of
the departed stigma that nothing
else will.
Happily in most families there is a
strong desire to make this last tribute
TO the departed, Great progress has
been made during The last quarter OF
century in the production Of monu-
mentS and now ,Some OF the most
skilled work in granite and marble
can be procured at a moderate eX
pense. Mr.. A. r. Exile We find to be
the leading manufactures in this line
in Mankato. These works are very
complete and visit there cannot fail
to please a lover of fine sculpture.
The completed work and that under

jOrity OF the most elaborate and cost
ly monuments in this city and sur
rounding section came from these
works. He imports all kinds of granite

from it's inception bias been character
lied for honorable and upright deal
iDgS and we know Of no other house

Trees Struck by Lightning.

DR.. ID. Jonesco has complied statistics
concerning trees which are struck by light
ming, and arrives at the following interest
iug conclusions. which are given In the lost
issue Of the Electrical World. 1t has be en-
supposed for long time that certain kinds
OF trees are particularly subject to de-
struction by lightning, while others are
quite free from danger. Among the first
is the oak, and among the latter is the
laurel. An Investigation of this state
ment led that writer to the follow
ing conclusions: At very high po-
tential electrical discharges all kinds
of trees may be subject to destruction
from lightning. Trees containing oils are
less subject TO be struck, those containing
very much oil being protected the most.
Lightning appears to prefer those trees
which contain oil to slight degree only, in
summer. The quantity of water contained
in the trees has no effect on their liability
to being struck. Dead limbs of trees Of
those containing starch as well as those
containing oil are particularly subject TO
being struck. Cambium. bark ana leaves
do not alter the conductivity of trees The
nature of the soil has no connection with
the frequency Of destruction Of the trees by
lightning.
