DANGERS FROM LIGHTNING.
A Protest Against Combining Gas Fixtures

serious concerns of the practical cleo
tricians is TO devise methods OF pre-
venting lightning from breaking and
entering. There is n popular supersti-
ton that the multiplication of electric
circuits in our cities and towns has
driven off thunder storms, but there is
no proof that such is the case. The

A, Ab,ndoned Vessel That Floatcd About
the Atlantic for sixteen Years.
In 1881, when c. II. Hill, now of the
Brazilian navy, was on the Jeanette
relief expedition to the Arctic regions,
sent out by the government, his ship
for Il time was laid up at Rcykjavik,
the CAPITAL of Iceland. While there he
saw derelict float in and strike the
wharf 1t was at once made fast, and
proved to he loaded with yellow pine
lumber. The vessel was literally COW
cred with moss and barnacles, and in
vestigations disclosed the fact that
the name of the old craft that for
years by the tide and winds had been
driven hither and thither, was the
Jamestown.
The inhabitants of the capital
thought that great prize had fallen
into their hands. Every body turned
out and took hand in unloading. The
lumber came out in good condition,
and the Reykjavikans estimated that
there was enough of it to last them for
twenty-five years. But, alas, what
world tins is as hope-crusher! After
the people had unloaded and piled the
lumber, the Denmark government
stepped in and confscated it and
started lumber yard OF its own
On return of the Jeanette exposition,
government made inquiry regarding
the jamestown, and learned that she
was loaded in Pensacola, Fla, in 1865,
soon after the close of the civil war.

Colorado, in the pursuit of our chosen
profession.
How well | remember that night!
The rough miners sat and smoked their
short Guilty pipes In stolid, speechless
content; their wild unkempt boards
and great arms, from which the red
flannel shirt sleeves had been rolled
back, making them look like species
of grotesque giant in the Hickering fire.
light.
Those of us who formed little group
by ourselves, with the superintendent
of the mine for our center, laughed and
talked gayly TO while away the long,
tedious, evening hours. Each one con.
sidered il his duty, from time to time,
TO add his mite to the general merry
making, and would relate some anus
ing or thrilling anecdote. All except
one; for my companion, Amasa Wealth
erlec, sat gloomily and silently with
his arms folded and his eyes fixed on
the fire. Now, Amasa was usually the
gayest of the gay, and there was not a
man at Silver Lock camp who could
tell better story than he. He was n
handsome fellow, OF noble physique
and Of IA healthy, sunny aspect in gem
eral The curly hair, that had grown
long in the wilderness and lay loosely
on his flannel shirt collar, was golden
In hue, and his cheeks dimpled like
girls when he smiled.
We had rallied Amasa several times
on his unusual silence, when finally he
raised his head and spoke:
well, friends, suppose must con-
tribute my share 10 the evenings en-
tertainment So nm going To tell you
a curious story:
Years ago, when l was little child,

of the dream"
Amasa's voice sank away to MOURN
full whisper. The weight Of terrible
apprehension seemed to be pressing
him down. And yet 1t was nothing but
the shadow of dream that was
clouding his bright spirit
Intangible and fantastic as my old
friends trouble seemed to me, yet it
panied me TO see that horror-stricken
look in his honest eyes. turned away
from the great campfire that might
not see that look, and in doing so
faced the long irregular line of the
"barracks" or miners quarters, with
the small cabins of the superintendent
and his assistants nesting near There
was n light in the superintendent
cabin. just as Amasa finished speaking "a
woman's face appeared at the open win
dow of this cabin. Her features were
siIhouetted against the outside black
ness of the night for an instant. With
start, realized that she was gazing
at Amasa's detected figure with the
most baneful expression of fendish
and savage revenge. Appearing as she
did, at the end of that strange nara
tive of his, this woman seemed to me
in a flash to be the evil spirit of face
brooding over his destiny.
1t was Mahala, the superintendent's
beautiful young Mexican wife.
Once l had seen her offer Amasa a
crimson rose which she plucked from
her black hair, but Amasa, who was in
no mind to set evil tongues to wagging,
had said CURLY:
MADAME, no one but your husband
Is worthy of such gifts from your fair
hand"
Mahala dropped her eyes, and when
she raised them to follow Amasa's re-
treating form the amorous look in
them had changed to one of bitter.
scorching hate. 1t made me shudder
to behold the counterpart of that look
on the night of Amasa's story. 1t was
said that Mahala had Indian blood in
her veins, and believed it.
MIR. Weatherlee, have you ever
heard an Indian war whoop?"
1t was the superintendent, Col
Altruz, who spoke. He was a Spanish
Mexican. but had served in the frontier
warfare OF the states.
No" said Amasa; ~ am New
born and bred, and know
very little about Indians outside of

"Well," resumed the colonel. 1.-The
