Larned the coming player. and his play yester-

Perpetual Thunder and Lightning

The phenomenon known as light
ming, followed by a rolling, reverberat-
ing report, recognized as thunder, is
common to wide zone of the earth.
but it is not generally known that
there are localities where the vivid
flashes and the deafening peals are
incesSant. The most notable of these
continuous lightning districts is on the
eastern coast of the island of San
Domingo, a leading member of the
group of the West Indies 1t is not
meant that the lightning is here con-
tinuous the year round, but that, with
the commencement of the rainy sea-
son, comes this Zig-aag feature of il
lumina tion, which is then continuous
day and night for weeks. The storm
centre is not continuously local, but
shifts over considerable area, and,
as thunder is seldom heard over a
greater distance than eight miles, and
the lightning in the night will illum-
mate SO as to be seen thirty miles,
there may be days In some localities
where the twinkle on the sky is in a
continuous succession while the rolling
reports are absent. Then again come
days and nights when the electric ar
tillery is piercing in it's detonatiOns;
and especially is this the case when
two separate local cloud centres join,
as it were, in an electric duel, and, as
sometimes occurs. a third participant
appears to add to the elemental war
fare. Then there is blazing sky with
binding yividness and stunning peals
that seem to pin the listener to the
earth. Long before the echoes can die
away come others, until the auricular
mechanism seems hammered into
chaos.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Merely to Demonstrate That the Gem was
In1ammable.
! How would you like to burn two
carat diamond merely for the sake OF
demonstrating fact in science! Prof.
Henry Miles George of London, VINO
is visiting friends in New York, did
that very thing two years ago. he
talked about it as follows:

ment," said the professor, land was
made at the request of a wealthy
young countryman of mine, who be-
lieved that he was born to be scien-
tist. Whether he was or not rs nei-
ther here nor there. His first expert
ment was costly.
"He wanted to satisfy himself that
the diamond possessed an infiammable
quality and that after being burned
it left no residue. We burned the
stone in my laboratory, and to the
young mans complete satisfaction.
After it was consumed there was alb
soluteIy no ash. The combustion was
complete, and an absolute, although
expensive, proof that the diamond con-
Sists of pure carbon.
''I'he inflammability of the dia-
mOnd," continued Prof. George, WAS
not known till the middle of the nine
