About Lightning.

Although lightning and thunder
occur always simultaneously, an in
terval OF shorter or longer duration
Is usually observed between these two
phenomena, which Is due to the fact
that sound travels only at the rate OF
l, 100 feet per second, while the pass
aye OF light is almost instantaneous.
Based upon this fact IL is an easy
matter to tell, at least approximately
how many miles "A thunderstorm Is

THE LIVE STOCK EXHIBIT,
NOTABLE DISPLAY OF HORSES
AND CATTLE AT THE FAIR.

The Most Important Exhibition Of
Its Kind Ever Held In This
Country-Facts of interest About
American and Foreign Breeds Of
Horses.
The exhibition OF live stock at the Worlds
Fair Is notable in many particulars and must
be Acknowledged to be, taken all in all, the
most important one ever held In this country.
II embraces, beside horses and cattle, sheep
and hogs, live stock appliances, incubators
and other OF the high-class accessories OF
model farms. To begin with the horses
says the Washington Star correspondent,
there is not single breed OF importance
that has not some fine specimens. They
range from the heaviest shire. weighing very
nearly 2500 pounds. TO the most diminutive
shetland pony, which n strong man could
pick up and carry on his back-if II would
permit him to do so.
The Judging opened with bunch OF Suf-
folk punch horses, n breed hitherto almost
unknown In this country, although Il is one
OF the oldest and best known OF English
heavyweight horses. The exhibit was not
extensive, embracing but four stations over
hve years old. and four mares OF the same
age, beside several yearlings and colts. One
horse came from Thorndsle, Ontario. and all
the rest are owned In this country. Thetypi-
cal Suffolk punch Is n large, heavily built
horse, very compact, with short neck and
legs. The color is chestnut. and white feet
and n "blaze face" are common. They are
especially adapted for medium draft pur-
poses. The two best OF tho stations were
among the finest looking OF all tho horses led
into the ring.
Following the Suffolk punches came tho
judging OF the Percherons which occupied
several days. There are sixteen OF these
horses. covering stations over five years old.
between four and ilye. under three. under
two and yearlings, and mares OF tho same
age, besides sucking colts. A good many OF
the Percherons come from Canada, but the
majority are owned In Illinois, Iowa, Michi-
gan. Wisconsin md New York. In the
awarding OF the prizes one farm secured
every first premium except In one section.
The whole display is quite remarkable, and
speaks highly for American importers and
breeders. IL IL hardly an exaggcration 20
say that not even in France itself can one sec
finer specimens OF these princes OF draft
horses than are now shown at the World 4
Fair.
After the Perchcrons camo tho judging o

latter is the largest horse in the Fair, he o

An Amphibious Boat.

A new Canadian invention for use
In the lumber districts is coming into
general use In Northern Ontario. II
Is called steam warping tug. 1t
propels itself on land as well as on
water, and is used by lumbermen
whose operations are carried on
among small lakes connected by
streams of uncertain navigation.
The vessel has proved not only
success. but great boon TO the lum-
ter trade. Six OF these unique crafts
bave been built by the inventors dur
ing the past season, four completed
at their yard In Ottawa, and two
shipped, ready 10 be put together at
their destination Ia the Nipissing
district.
They are built in scow shape, with
ttcel-shod runners for moving over
land; are thirty-scycn feet long, ten
feet beam. decked all over, and have
sleeping-room for four men in the
bow the bottom and up the bow is
covered with steel Loiler plate. An
engine twenty-five horse power fur
nishes steam for ten hours work, with
three quarters OF cord OF wood
In the water IL moves Xix miles an
hour forward or backward, as re-
quircd, propelled by side wheels.
On land it is propelled by having a
cable drum on which is coiled five
cighths OF mile OF steel wire cable,
which is fastened with pulleys to Il
tree or some object In front, the boat
moving as the wire Is coiled up. The
boiler is hung on an axle In the cen.
ter, and a screw arranged on the front
enables the nremen TO tip 1t forward
or back, and keep IL level going up or

Those Wooden Nutmcrs

There may possibly have. been az
original incident among the many
peddlcrs from Connecticut. OF one
who cheated by selling wooden nut,
mcgs 10 his customers, but probably
not, says the Hartford Times. The
cost In time and labor, OF making
such artistic frauds would more than
balance tho receipts Doubtless the
wooden nutmeg must 60 with the
Eastwood hams
All the same, the joke has served
the purpose OF giving the old.timc
tin pcddlcrs and clock peddlcrs from
Connecticut bad name for superior
cunning aud trickishness. IL served
at least one good purpose in giving
birth TO one OF the best tOasts ever
offered at dinncr-old now and well
known but perfect in its wny--"The
