Three Kinds of Lightning.

The Etruscans of old believed in three
kinds of lightning-one incapable OF DONG
any injury. another more mishievous IN us

gods, and third carrying mischief In It's

required from the highest divinities IN the
Ftruscan skies. Curiously enough, mod
ern scientists, following the lead taken Dy
Arago. have also decreed that the varieties
Of lightning are threefold. The first COM

The second differs from the first in the
range of surface over which the flash is dli-
fused. From this circumstance the dis

third class differs so widely from the more
ordinary manifestations that many meteor

A Natural Bridge Of Agate.

A mining expert sent to investigate
Arizona properties for Denver capitalists
reports the finding Of n most remarkable
natural bridge formed by "A tree Of agatized
wood, spanning a canyon As feet in width.
The tree mad at some remote time fallen
and become imbedded in the silt OF some
great inland sea or mighty water overflow.
The silt became in time sandstone, and the
wood gradually passed through the stages
of naturalization until it is now wonder
full tree Of solid agate.
In after years water washed and ate
away the sandstone until a canyon a. feet
in width has been formed, the flintylike
substance of the agatized wood having re-
sisted the erosion Of the waterfowl. Fully
80 feet Of the tree rests on one side and can
be traced but how far its other side lies
buried in the sandstone cannot be de
termined without blasting away the rock.

Not a Lost Art.

Archeologists and antiquarians In their
writings frequently refer to the manufac-
ture Of flint arrowheads, etc. as a lost art.
That is great mistake. The art is prob
ably lost 10 the Indians because they have
no use for it, The stone implements have
given place to those Of iron and steel, and
the rife aid revolver have supplanted the
flint AK and arrowhead. The art Of making
them is not lost, however There are
many collectors Of relics Of the aborignes
who have studied the art OF working in
flint and have become adopts. In Chatta-
nooga a gentleman has become 50 proficient
in the art that he has not only manufac-
tured magnificent specimens Of arrow
heads from flint. but also from the far more
brittle obsidian and even from ordinary
glass -Chattanooga Times.
