DANGERS FROM LIGHTNING.
Protest. Against Combining Gas Fixtures
and Electric Circuits.

A Protest Against Combining Gas Fixtures
and Electric Circuits.
1t seems, at times, as IL the bolts Of
lightning grow envious of the great
webs of wire which have been spread
over our cities and delight to exhibit
their power by entering upon electric
light circuits, showing the dynamos
how to burn out wires, and set fire to
buildings. Indeed, one of the most
serious concerns of the practical elec-
tricians is to devise methods of pre-
venting lightning from breaking and
entering. There is popular supersti-
tion 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
lightning is still an unwelcome visitor,
and comes at the most unexpected
times have no doubt however, that
the multiplication Of wires is to cer-
tain extent safeguard against the ex-
hibition Of the horsepower Of light
ming by its destruction of chimney
tops, rending of trees-and even the
killing Of human beings; for the multi
tude of wires distributes the electrical
the ground in many directions
1t may be observed here that the
practice of combining gas fixtures and
electric light circuits so that one can
use gas or electricity is fraught
with some danger. The electric wires
are often led along the gas pipes, and
If lightning should succeed in follow
ing the electric wires into the house it
would naturally jump to the gas pipes
and seek the ground. If there should
be gas leak even from minute pin
hole, it might be lighted. If the light
ming does not enter the house by the
wires it is possible that heavy dis
charge may cause sparks between
the electric wires and the gas pipes
by what is called induction. / knew
of an instance where spark between
the electric light wires and the gas
pipes ignited the gas which streamed
from minute hole in the pipe. If the
jet had not been noticed in time, the
building would surely have been set on
fire. The building was provided with
lightning fuses, nevertheless the miL-
ute sparks were caused by lightning
discharge If 1 were building a new
house 1 should be careful to keep the
electric wire circuit away from the gas
pipes The practical electrician and
theoretical plumber would doubtless
call this scientific mans superstition,
but long study Of electrical sparks
has made me respect their wide and
varied manifestations of energy.-Prof
John Trowbridge, in Chautauquan.

Paxton replied no, and accordingly he

"Oh, that's not true, that's merely a
fancy SKETCH" said Col. Breckinridge,
with a laugh. "Theres not a word OF
truth in it."
Judge Wilson was particularly desir.
ops of knowing whether Col. Breckin-
ridge had ever made expressions of love
and affection to the plaintiff, and the
defendant said he had never used such
expressions to Miss Pollard. II did,
however," he said, ''use expressions Of
kindliness, and was particularly care

The colonel said he had used ex.
pressions that might be fairly con-
strued as expressions of affection to.
ward Miss Pollard, although he never
used expressions of love.
They were merely expressions that
n man would use toward woman for
whose condition he felt partly respon-
sible," said Colonel Breckenridge.

bad Effect on English Feeling.
LONDON, April Tt is said upon
good authority that the formation Of
another section or faction of the Irish
party is probable. The recent ousting
of Mr.. Healy from the board of direct
ors of the Freeman's Journal has en-
ragged that gentleman's friends. The
lack of harmony in the Irish party,
which the recent disputes have accent
uated, has rendered many liberals luke
warm toward home rule, and the APP
parent hopelessness of bringing the
factions together will make it still
more difficult to hold the liberals to
energetic support of an Irish measure
upon which the Irish members are di.
vided beyond the possibility of recon
ciliation.
