The Lottery In Spain.

The great prize in the Spanish Ma
tiOnal lottery was won by butcher at
SaragOssa, who seems to have borne his
stroke of fortune in very proper spirit.
His total gain would have amounted to
about $3.50, 900 had he taken the whole
risk himself, but he had split up his
ticket among a couple of hundred part
ners in varying proportions, so that his
own share is not so considerable. How
ever, he generously gave S400 to the
official who paid the money, and S2G0
to blind man who shouted out the
lucky number at the door of the Office,
his next care being to distribute meat
gratis to everybody living in his quar-
ter of the town. Not few stories are
told in the Spanish papers as TO the eff
feet on different individuals of this sud-
den bit of luck. One of the benefciaries
was a nurse in the family of a poverty
stricken infantry captain who rarely
paid her wages. On the receipt of the
$4,000 that fell TO her share she at
once handed the amount over to her
master, exclaiming. You shall not
know want after today. We can all Of
Us live on the money. Paris Herald.

SETS HIMSELF ON FIRE.
Some Past and Prospective Experiments of
the Electrician Nikola Tesla.

the Electrician Nikola Tesla.
Mr.. T. G. Martin, editor of The Elec-
trical Engineer, writing on the work of
the Servian-American electrician, Nix
ola Tesla, says:
Mr.. Tesla has advanced the opinion
au1 sustained it by brilliant expert
ments of startling beauty and grandeur
that light and heat are produced by
electrostatic forces acting between
charged molecules+0r atOmst Perfect
ing generator that would give him
currents of several thousand alterna-
tions per second and inventing his dis
ruptive discharge coil, he has created
elect1ostatic conditions that have al
ready modified not few of the accepted
notions about electricity.
1t has been supposed that ordinary
currents of 1000 or 1000 volts poten-
tial would surely kill, but Mr. Tesla
has been seen receiving through his
hands currents at a potential of more
than 200, 900 volts, vibrating a million
times per second and manifesting them
selves in dazzling streams of light. This
Is not a mere tour de force, but illus
trates the principle that while currents
Of lower frequency destroy life these
are harmless. After such a striking
test, which, by the way, no one has
displayed a hurried inclination to re-
peat, Mr.. Tesla's body and clothing
have continued for some time to emit
fine glimmers, or halOs, of splintered
light. In fact, an actual flame is pro-
duced by this agitation of electrostat-
ically charged molecules, and the curl
Gus spectacle can be seen of puissant,
white, ethereal flames that do not con-
sumo anything, bursting from the ends
of an induction coil as though it were
the bush on holy ground.
With such vibrations as can be main
tanned by potential of 5000, 900 volts
Mr.. Tesla expects some day to envelop
himself in complete sheet of lambcnt
fire that will leave him quite uninjur-
ed. Such currents as he now uses woul :,
he says, keep a naked man warm at the
north pole, and their use in therapeuti,5
is but one Of the practical possibilities
that has been taken up.-Century.

Hard Times and Economy.

1t is a great mistake for people who
can at all afford to spend literally TO
practice economy in hard times. On
one occasion during the second empire,
when there was a great financial de-
preston, Louis Napoleon commanded
his ministers to open their houses and
entertain profusely, and the court cir
cles, taking the hint. began such a
round of gayety that trade revived,
while the manufacturers, plucking up
Tourage, opened their mills, and crisis
was averted. Spending is as much a
duty with the 1ich as saving is with the
poor, and it takes both attributes to
make a prosperous comnunity.-New

Artesian Wells In South Dakota.

Mr.. Duncan McFarlane of South Da-
kota was talking of the great artesi N
wells fed, it is supposed, by snow from
the Rockies, following the porous sand
stone at depth of from 500 to 1. 800
feet below the surface of the ground, and
told many interesting stories. He i'll
stanced one case of a towns having
bored for water, and after hard work
having secured a we'll from which the
water would hardly rise to the surface.
One Sunday, though, the well broke
loose, and as the water flowed away ur-
der the snow its course could be marked
by the steam rising into the air. TIE
water made its way to farm a few
miles from town and there settled. The
owner came post haste to town, and
consulting a lawyer was told that he
had a first rate basis for damages.
The suit was instituted. The snow
disappeared, the water had been con-
tIOlled finally by the town, and the
farm remained a great mudbank. The
farmer was almost in despair, but final
ly decided TO put in crop anyhow.
Hot weather came. and the country suf-
fered for rain. That mudbaDk contain
ed sufficient deposit of moisture, and
the crop was in fine condition. The
farmer made his way again to town.
Say, Jim," he remarked to his at
tOrney, how is that suit getting
along"
"Oh, it is coming along all right. :"
was the reply, but l believe the court
Will deduct the amount of the damages
from the price of your crop and award
the rest of your profits to the town. -
