Lightning III Cities.

The character of the soil has some
thing to do with strokes Of lightning Z.
which are less frequent over chaii,y
ground. Oak trees are most fra
quent1y struck, while beech trees are
least liable TO attack.
Few people are killed by lightning
in the cities There is not much
need Of lightning rods Oh low houses
in the city, while Oh church spires
they might be Of some use. The
reason why lightning rods on low
houses in the city are Of doubtful
utility is because in the city there is
such q vast amount of material which
conducts the electricity away Tele-
graph poles are frequently struck.
On the Virginia Beach railroad once
noticed after a storm seventeen poles
within a shorter distance than a
quarter of a mile struck by light
ming. Interview in Baltimore Sun.

The sandstOrms OF African deserts
are caused by the great power Of the
suns rays, the extreme dryness Of
the air and the small conducting
power OF the sand The superficial
layers OF sand in the deserts of Afri-
ca and Arabia often become heated
to 200 degs Fahrenheit to a depth Of
several inches. The air resting on
this hot sand becomes also greatly
heated, thus causing ascending cur
rents. AS result Of these air flows
in from all sides, and different cur
rents meeting cyclones are formed,
which are swept onward by the
wind prevailing at the time. Since
the temperature Of the air, originally
high, is still further raised by the
heated grains of sand with which it
is loaded it rapidly increases to a
most intolelable degree. In the
shade it has been known to reach
1876 degs. 1t is to the parching dry
ness &C this wind. its glowing heat
and its choking dust, and not as is
sometimes supposed, to any poison
Gus qualities it possesses that its de
structive effects on animal life are to
be ascribed. The effects of sand
storms are most terrible, large cara
vans being frequently overwhelmed
and destroyed by them. 1t was by
their agency that the armies Of Cam
byses and Sennacherib were annihj-
ated.-Brooklyn Eagle.

IN ABSENCE.

Through gay or gloomy hourA
Though we are far apart,
The music of thy voice, love.
Is ever in my heart.
By monntainside or seaside,
In shadow or in shine,
Thine eyes Of tender blue, love,
Look ever into mine.
While time and tide unresting
Flow to their distant goal,
Thy purity and truth, love.
Are mirrored in my soul.

Though we are far apart,
The poem of thy life, love,
Is written In my heart.

DIR. Blacknan Thinks n Hand Music Box

Music as a curative agent has been
known and valued from the earliest
ages. says the London Telegraph, and
the recently established Guild of st.
Cecilia, whose professed object Is to APP
ply the soothing influence of melody to
patients in hospitals and elsewhere, is
only carrying out the prescriptions OF
physicians who fourished two thousand
years ago. The Athenian doctors "ban-
ished fever by song" Thales found
music most efficacious in the plague,
and Aulus Gellius even went 80 far as to
maintain that it produced beneficial
effect in cases of bites and stings. In
their work on Psychological Medicine"
Drs. Bucknill and luke remark that
music is the first recorded remedy en-
ployed for the relief of madness. A
novel, and possibly useful, suggestion
in the same direction is mentioned by
DIR. j. G.. Blaclxman in the Medical
Magazine.
It is that a musical box worked
by an electric motor might be advan-
| tageously employed in cases O insomnia.
Some care, no doubt, would we to be
exercised to see that the l. chanism
worked properly before it wa started,
as nothing would be moro likely to
drive sleep permanently away than a
musical box out of tune or liable to un-
accountable and abnormal spurts of en-
ergy. 1t would also be trying to a
nervous patient if in the Silly night
the electric current were turned off alto
gether and the box became suddenly
silent. 1t is possible that burglar in
ones bedroom might be soothed and
induced to surrender his booty by the
unexpected strains of Home, Sweet

might not. One or two interesting
instances are recorded in the article OF
the benefit which has resulted in hos
pitfalls from the musical treatment, and
the sleepless soul might do worse thar

Wounded at the Battle of Sedan.
PARIS, Oct. 1S.-Marshal Mac Mahon,
ex-president of the republic, died at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning. He had been
seriously i'll since Oct. 8, and his death
was not unexpected.
Marshal Mcmahon died ut Cheatu Ia
Foret, on the Loir. During the night
the sufferers strength gradually de-
clined and he grew weaker and weaker
until the end came peacefully. The
family of the deceased soldier were
present at his death.
Patrick Maurice de MacMahon, duke
of Magenta, was born in Sully, France,
July ID, 1908. He was direct descend
king who conquered the Danes Of Clon-
tart. Young Patrick Maurice entered
the military school at st. Cyr in 1925.
He served in several African campaigns.
He succeeded General Canrobert as
commander of division in the Crimea
in 1866, and led the assault on Sebasto-
pol Sept. 8, carrying the works of NAL
akoff.
General MacMahon took a leading
part in the Italian campaign in 1859,
when he won the baton of a marshal,
and was created duke of Magenta in
commemoration of that victory. He
was made governor general of Algeria
in 1854, and attempted to found an Arab
kingdom. but failed.
In the Franco Prussian war Marshal
MacMahon had command of the First
army corps. His forces were defeated
at Woerth by the army of the Crown
Prince of Prussia on Aug. 6, 1870. AT
the battle of Sedan, on Sept. /, he was
chief in command, but was wounded at
the beginning of the engagement, and
the command devolved on General
Wimpffen, who signed the capitulation.
Marshal MacMahon was elected pres
ident of the republic on the resignation
of M. Theirs on May "a, 1878, retiring
on Jan. 30, 1879. Little has been heard
of him since his retirement. From the
moment he returned to the station in
life for which nature and habit had
fitted him, certain grace and even
grandeur gathered round his retreat. He
had left the palace where he had dwelt rs
lord of French taxes with clean hands.
Afterward he returned to his life of
other days-hunting, shooting and
travelling. Round his table he gathered
many of his old companions in arms, to
whom the new government had showed
decided hostility, and became content
to be simple spectator Of the struggles

to see any considerable distance.
Suddenly, through the fog, scarcely

on the track on which his train was
running. He reversed, put on the air,
but too late. and before he or his fire.

into the freight and their two lives
were crushed out. The cars behind
were piled up and fell over, broken and
wrecked. The engine went through
the rear car of the freight, splitting it
in two, and climbed part way up the
second car.
The passengers were thrown from
their berths by the shock, but escaped
with slight bruises and bad fright.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness and that by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when 1t is
entirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal c0ndi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

DISASTERS ON WATER
THE MINNEHAHA OF CLEVELAND
GOES ASHORE IN A STORM.

A Few Minutes After Striking the Bar the
Vessel Broke In Two and Went to Pieces
In Two Haurs-No Life-Preservers ON
Board.
MANIsTEE, Oct. 16.-The identity of
the four-masted schooner reported
ashore near here has been established.
The vessel is the Minnehaha of Cleve-
land. Captain w. Packer, with cargo
of corn. OF the seven souls on board
the schooner, but one, Captain Packer,
escaped:
Those drowned were:
JOHN RAFFERTY,, mate, Cleveland
JOHN RAFFERTY,, Jr., Cleveland.
NARY KEEFE, cook. Cleveland.
WILLIAM AHLSTROM, sailor, Cleve-
land.
TWO SAILORS UNKNOWN, both of
Cleveland.
The schooner went ashore Saturday
afternoon and it was seen she must
soon be pounded to pieces by the heavy
sea. The Manistee lifesaving crew was
called upon for assistance, the claim
being made that the Frankfort crew
could not be reached. A train was i'm
mediately made up and the crew and
boat taken to Onekama where the boat
was hauled 10 miles through the woods
to Starke.
Upon arriving there at midnight the
Frankfort crew was upon the ground,
having arrived just before dark, but
too late to be of any use. The schooner
Minnehaha had been thrown upon the
beach at about noon. The sea was run
ming very high and swept the docks
clean, and the crew was all drowned ex-
cept the captain. who jumped over
board with plank and swan ashore.
The Minnehaha was being towed by
the steambarge Henry J. Johnson, also
of Cleveland, which grew disabled in
the storm. and Captain Packer, fearing
that he would go down in the open sea,
cut the towline and put for shore. The
lifesaving crew then returned to Man
istee, bringing Captain Packer with
them.
