dts, says 4 Berlin paper, understand
how to win the sympathies of the
Greek officials. Indeed, the mayor Of
Duzesti recently gave n dinner in the
city hall in honor of a robber band. A
few days ago it was announced that
the two Greek deputies, Ghianussis
and Hadjigallis, were arrested on the
charge of being professional robbers.
The complaint against these two depu-
ties is unique document, reading as
follows: AT the beginning of August,
1892, band of robbers, under COM
mand of Messrs. X. TSanlfa and c.
Tsouka, armed with Chassepot rifles,
crossed the Greek border at Kastanka
and appeared upon the Turkish estate
of Hairedden Bey. After stealing
everything possible the robbers took
possession of the landed proprietor,
Hairedden Bey, and took him back tn
Greece. The deputies Ghianussis and
Hadjigal1is had already informed the
border soldiers that their friends,
eleven in number, would cross the Dor
der with Turkish prisoner, and made
arrangements that they facilitate as
much as possible the return of the
Greeks to their native country. The
soldiers carried out the wishes Of the
deputies in the most friendly way and
even supplied the band with victuals.
One night was passed on the Turkish
border. On the following night the
band with the prisoner proceeded to
the village Teka, which belongs TO
Deputy Ghianussis, where the deputy
and his two brothers, Constantin and
Alexander, awaited them. After a
short rest the robbers took their pris-
oner to the village Of Duzesti. On Oc-
tober 3 the two deputies, accompanied
by Kristodoios Dimakis. the mayor Of
hastanea. who was charged with the
pursuit Of the robbers, appeared in
Duzesti, where a long conference with
the prisoner followed. Il was finally
told him that he would be held captive
until MS family sent certain ransom
for him. This happened. in fact,
in November. The money was divided
between the two deputies, the mayor
OF hastanea and the band of robbers.-

The annual average of lives lost by
lightning is about 200. Such catas-
trophies always occur in the five months
from April TO September, while more
than two-thirds of them take place
during June and Iuly. The annual
average value of property destroyed by
lightning during the eight years end
ing with 1892 was l.500, 900. In 1890
New York was the most unfortunate
state with respect TO property dam
aged by lightning. Pennsylvania and
Ohio followed hard after. both of them
away up in the hundreds of thousands
of dollars, while Kansas reports only
one fire worth 500 and Mississippi
two. which averaged So apiece.
The following year Pennsylvania led
the way, closely followed by Missouri.
Ohio and New York, with Delaware,
louisiana and Rhode Island at the op-
posite end OF the report. In 1892 New
York was again at the head. having
lost nearly twice rs much as in any Of
the other years. Next in order were
Pennsylvania, New jersey, North Da-
kota and Ohio. Florida and Mississippi
lost the least that year-S325 each.
During the nine years ending with 1892
2.325 barns, 664 dwellings and I0f
churches were struck by lightning

BIG TELESCOPES.
Things That May lie Revealed with the

There have been wonderful develop
