roots or the branches Of tree From pho-
tographs Of this sort 1t Is impossible to make
a satisfactory study Of any one flash. Mr..
Meade Of the weather bureau has been de-
voting particular attention to this matter
for soma time past and has already achieved
some valuable results. To still further in
crease the efficiency of the work he has ar
ranged an ingenious device. and this has
already been put into effect.
In this little house, on the roof, there is a
pair Of Photographic cameras. suitable for
picturing flash Of lightning. Similar in
struments are placed on the Capitol and
across the river at Fort Myer, the former
being in charge of Mr.. Randolph and the
latter of MIR. Potter. All three sets of in
struments are focused on the monument
which is near the center of the triangle
made by the three points mentioned. The
three observers have their watches regu-
lated with each other, as to give them
the exact time. The result Is that any fash
OF lightning which occurs inside of the tri-
angle or In Its vicinity is photographed from
three directions at one and the same time
and by comparison of the three photo
graphs II Is possible to get an exact idea Of
the nash In space and no longer as simply
In one plane.
Little Opportunity.
The photographs. of course, have to be
taken at night. In this way 1t will be pos
sihle to study lightning as it never has be IN
yet, both in the matter of it's character and
power, and 1t is expected that the work
VIII result in the discovery of a great deal
mat Will be of value to scientists, and also
OF practical use to everyday people who are
more interested in warding off lightning
than they are in studying It's components
ana eccentricities. tnfortunately for the
work, there has rarely been summer so
free from electrical storms as the present,
and comparatively small number Of plates
nave been secured 50 far. but Mr.. McAdie
mas hopes OF better results before the hot
weather is ove-. Every night when there is
a possibility of thunder storm the three
observers take their stations, and great is
their disappointment when. as has So often
happened lately, the expected storm fails TO
rnaterialize. The Agricultural Department
has recently Issued pamphlet by Mr. Nc
Adie, which bids fair to be as popular as
the famous book Of the horse 1t is on the
subject of lightning, and is already in it's
third edition. Yesterday there were ISL APP
piications for the book, and its popularity
is growing all the time.

From The London Daily News.
Prince Bismarck arrived on Thursday
evening at o'clock at his ancestral seat Of
Schonhausen on his way from Friedrichs-
rub to Varzin. The prince today continues
his Journey via Berlin. A correspondent
who saw him at Cehonhausen describes him
as being rather weak. He stepped from his
carriage with evident difficulty Walking
seems task for him, and he moves very
slowly, supporting himself on his cane
The prince is not enjoying as good spirits
as usual. Plans for the future-longer

forth-he puts absolutely aside with the re-
mark: 1T is no good now"

Cold Storage Cats.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The adaptability of rats and cats to all
diversities of climate is exemplified by their
presence and activity in the coid-storage
warehouses Of this city, where the tempera-
ture is never above 30 degrees. Strangely
enough, their acclimation has been attend
ed by marked changes in their appearance
The first rats which attempted to earn their
subsistence in one Of the Delaware ave-
nue. warehouses were unable 10 stand the
exposure and died. However an unusually
hardy colony stuck to Il, and their progeny
are now provided with wonderfully long
and thick hair, even their long tails being
covered with fur. They have developed into
fat old rascals. and the cats which were
introduced to thin their ranks have also
been specially equipped through natures
bounty The cats have developed very close,
thick fur, and their whiskers have grown
to a length OF six inches. probably because
the darkness makes the use Of their feelers
much more important.

The parents-in-law billy wife terribly,
and many girls prefer 10 marriage the shell
ter of Buddhist nunncry. Eight girls, in
1873, drowned themselves rather than mar
ry. Sometimes they, like the daughters of
Danaus and the Bride of Laminermoor
prefer to kill their young men. But as a
matter of fact, these cases seem to be the
exception and in novels married people
live even rapturousiy together. This is the
ideal Fond wives slay themselves rather
than survive their lords.
In poor districts girls are drowned as
pouches irutiles." Just as we see that
mo Advertisements" are. to be stuck up
on a given wall, SO by Chinese pond YOU
may see a notice board: Girls not to be
drowned here" In Pekin there is practi-
cally no infanticide. On rock in Hong
Kong harbor a great many dead children
and one poor dying infant were discovered
two or three years ago. Poverty, of course
is the cause of these denominations.

Lightning Wanted.

Notwithstanding the long continued heat
with which We have been afflicted, the sum-
mer so far has been remarkably free from
electric storms. This Is generally regretted,
as there Is feeling that good thunder
storm has the effect of cooling the atmos-
phere. But there are several young men in
town whose regret Is of a more personal
nature, for they have been trying to make
some snap shots at lightning for scientific
purposes.
AT one of the corners Of the roof Of the
weather bureau a little frame structure has
recently been built as part of the equipment
for new work that is being undertaken by
the bureau. This is the more thorough and
complete study of lightning and its various
effects. Since the introduction Of instan-
taneous photography snap shots at electrical
displays are not at all uncommon Yet
these have always had material drawback
so far as their value in scientific research Is
concerned, inasmuch as they always repre-
sent a flash of lightning as being In one
plane. whereas, In point Of fact, It may be
branching out in all directions. like the

Time will demonstrate the wisdom
Of this advice for this dreaded pest
is gradually encroaching on our cul-
tivated lands and without concer
ted effort of all concerned it will
hold u%ndlsputed sway.
The present time is the best for
destroying the pest but delay is dan
gerous. At the present time the
weed Is tender, the spikes are soft
and pllable, and it can be easily
pulled with the hands.
In all probability agreat many Of
the readers Of the REPORTER are
unable to distinguish the weed but
due inquiry will enable all to recog-
mise it at a glance. 1t very much
resembles the common tumble weed
Sc familiar to all and undoubtedly
it has been taken for the tumble
weed by many.

that there are stringent laws regar-
ding noxious weeds ana their duties
are fully set forth, making it i'm
peratIve that they take active steps
to eradicate noxious weeds.

principle of it was formed IN the
eternal wisdom of God, preached by
the Lord Jesus Christ and taught
BY the Lords prayer. 1t was the
only hope of an intelligent, refined
aud virtuous womanhood, and he
asked the audience how they would
like ''to see their mothers, wives,
sisters and daughters live as the

Summary of the Arguments In Favor of

Give in as few words as possible a
summary of the arguments in favor OF
a protective tariff.
1t has built towns and cities all over
the Union.
Since 1860 it has more than doubled
our trade with foreign nations.
1t has diversified our industries.
1t has given employment to our own
people.
1t has increased u manufactures
ivefold in % years.
It mas opened up our natural re-
sources.
It has benefited labor on farm and in
factories by applying 1t to unlock our
natural resources.
1t has, through competition, reduced
prices Of every useful article to the n
sumner.
It has made farming profitable by
building factories near 10 the farm.
It has made a home market for 80 per
cent Of all we raise and manufacture.
Il has made the United States . ma
tional workshop.
1t has developed the ingenuity Of our
people.
It has made 10. 600. 900 of people cus-
toners instead Of competitors OF the
American farmer.
1t has given homes and employment
to g., 900, 900 foreigners.
1t has protected American labor from
being forced to compete with cheap for
eign labor.
1t is constantly opening new avenues
for the employment Of our people.
1t has prevented an %inundation Of for
eign made goods to take the place OF
our own manufacture.
1t has added to the comforts Of work
ingmen in that it gives them living
wages.
1t has reduced pauperism to a mini
mum. The United States has fewer pau
pers than Scotland, IN insignificant
province of Great Britain.
1t has enabled American workingmen
to deposit over SO, 900, 600, 900 in saw
lngs banks.
1t is the guarantee and safety of the
nation in time of war. With our pres
ent facilities we can manufacture all

of subsistence for our people.
1t has crowded the national treasury
