II describing the recent death OF n
boy by lightning a dispatch stated that
en- accurate picture of trees and foliage
on tho boys body. which phenomenon
was supposed to have been produced by
tho lightning in n manner similar to
that OF making pictures or photography.
This. however, is not correct. While
such marks arc observable occasionally
on tho bodies of persons killed they bear
no relation whatever to foliage of sur
rounding trees. although they bear a GER
tain resemblance TO those objects There
Il really no photoyraphing of the image
Of tho trees on the body. That the nc
tual cause Is quite different can be proved
by experiment in the laboratory. When
electricity is discharged at high tension.
% lightning IS. ON the surface of body
having q poor conducting power, u lu-
minous arborescent image is formed,
showing tho path of one or more of tho
sparks resulting from tho discharge.
This was most beautifully shown in
the experiments carried out with high
tension currents IN London by Swim
burnc. Tho current would exhibit scat
tered lines of light that would develop
into most exquisite tracery and take the
form OF plants or trees. The theory of
this phenomenon is TINT the irregular
courses taken by the spark may be duo
TO tho compression OF air in the path Of
the discharge. or to superior conductive
ity OF some parts of the surface of the
body.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

soldiers for years and has price of $1,000
set on his head. The police arrested several
anarchists for distributing pamphlets in
favor of TiburI.
Dominica Tiburzi is one Of the three re-
naming Italian brigandso of note, the Others
being Ansuini and Fioravanti. 1iburzi was
cowherd at Cellere. In 1872, when %
years of age, for a highway robbery, extor-
ton and murder, be was condemned to
penal servitude for life In January, 1874,
he escaped from the salt mines of Corneto
Tarquina and has since eluded all efforts
to capture him. Between Civita Vecchia
and Grosseto, in the soitudes of the mac
CHA, he has lived for 20 years, defying the
rewards offered by the authorities.
Tiburzi does not rob; he does not steal;
he does not harm any one. He levies taxes
after his own fashion. The wealthy Of the
neighboring districts pay him every month
a fixed contribution-money, wine. bread
weapons and tobacco. In recompense he
guarantees the safety both of their lives
and of their property In short, he acts as
a public guardian for them. The relations
between the brigand and the people are Of
most friendly description The poor,
when destitute of food, come to Tiourzi
He also gives them coin, with which he is
always well provided. The rich land own
erS pay most Wllllugly lne TAX winch brings
them an entire security for their rural
property.
But woe to the spy Sooner or later the
hand of the brigaud strikes him, and an
atrocious vengeance rouses the authorities
and convinces the unbelievers Of the exist
ence of the legendary brigand. In this way
Tiburzi lives. In these Is years of hiding
from justice Tiburzi had several compan-
ions; but, less skillful or less fortunate than
he, they have all persisted. The last were
Domenico Biagini and Luciano Fioravanti
In 1889 the three together were surprised by
the carbineers; a sharp fight ensued; Bia-
gini fell dead. The other two succeeded in
escaping, vowing vengeance.
They believed the spy was certain Ra-
phael Gabrielle, and year later he was
murdered by Tiburzi and Fioravanti in the
presence of so persons.
Failing to catch the archbrgand, the gov
eminent last summer arrested and npris
oned $50 persons. including mayors, priests
and minor officials, as his abettors They
were tried and sentenced to short terms Of
imprisonment end fines.

a grand social was given at the resi-
dence of MIR. and Mrs. |. J. Porter on
Wednesday August lst, on Sherwood St.
1t was given by MIR. and Mrs. Porter

Moore was the first to arrive followed
soon by ReYs. G. A. Simmons. j. H..
Van Lue. MeacllaM and ISDer who found
Rev. Moore happy of course. but he was
much happier though when the other
flights" came in. These gentlemen spent
quite good time discussing church work
but were presently very pleasoutiy inter-
rupted dy the genial hostess Mrs. Porter
who inyited us into her spacious dining
room to partake of most excellent re.
past preparek by her for us. Rev. Van
Lne was seated at the head Of the table
to serve the others yet we think he made
4 good fight for himself, After dinner
speeches and pleasant Jokes were then in
order, and In this Rev. Moore took the
lead choosing for his theme, 'plain living
and high thinking" which he discussed
very brilliantly. Rev. Copeland chose
for his theme, miscellaneous things"
which he discussed in a very learned way.
Rev. Van Lue chose for his theme 10y
atty of the Negro to the government of
the United States" which he handled in
Il very creditable manner. Rev. Sim
mons theme was, "submi ssion and pray
