She was on the alert and was watching

its value.

Suddenly there was noise in the cor

tightly to keep them from trembling.

Why Lightning Usually Kills.

Those who are unacquainted with the
facts in the case often express surprise when
told that not more than man in 500 who
has been struck by lightning survives, and
that with the larger animals the ratio is
still smaller. In this age of investigation
electric and otherwise) the layman can
give explanations for natural phenomena
that would have staggered the so called
philosophers of olden times. Thus we find
that the electromotive force of lightning
has been subject of discussion for some
time past, amateurs and experts alike tax
ing part in the argument. At Berlin the
great academy of sciences grappled with
the subject, and the spirited discussions
over the dynamite force of the unseen
bolt" were only second to the question,
"How shall we kill the comma bacillig"
Making deductions from all these wran-
giles and contentious, find that the gener-
ally accepted opinion is that the electromo-
tive force of bolt of lightning is about
3,5O0,000 volts, the current about 100000
amperes, and the time of the discharge
about 1-20, ,00Oth part of a second. In such
a bolt" there is an energy equal to 2,450,,
000 900 watts, or about 3,2S4, 1S2 horsepower
Is it any wonder that lightning usually
kills?-St. Louis Republic.

Grandparents and Their Children.

Grandparents are accused by their sons
and daughters, with fair show of reason,
of being decidedly more lenent with juve-
nile offenders, less sternly disposed toward
discipline, than they were to their children
in an earlier day. They would spoil the
grandchildren if allowed, declare the fa-
thers and mothers, serenely confident in
their own discretion and quite sure they
are right in their sternly repressive methods.
Never mind. The wheel of time in its
ceaseless revolution is bringing on the day
when the man who now laughingly re.
proves his parents for their fancied weak
ness will himself stand in awed pleasure
gazing into the round eyes of the second
generation and feeling himself the founder
of line. Then it will be his turn to emulate
the grandparent, as the grandparent has
been from the beginning. -IIarper's Bazar.

The Lament of a Gamekeeper.

Dean Hole in his Memories" men,
tons an old gamekeeper who sorrowful-
ly surveyed model farm as if it had
been some fair city overthrown by an
earthquake and remarked dolefully,
I've known the time when that farm
was as pretty spot for game as could
be found in the county, and now-why,
there amt place where a partridge can
make a nest, or a hare or rabbit can hide!
Whats the good O. the place nowr"
he went on. you see that grass field
yonder. Well, you'll scarcely believe it,
but it was once the beautifulest bog for
jack snipe as ever you'd wish to see. I've
killed three couple of a morning among
the tussocks and rushes afore they spoilt
it with them drains!"
"Ah," said the dean, "but you must
not forget that there is more wheat and
more food than before the land was re-
claimed"
"Ya, and what's the use of itT' the
gamekeeper said. whats the good of
wheat which it do not pay to raise when
them foreigners are ascending moren we
want? And mores the shame, the farm

How IA Snake Swallows a Frog.

The method of swallowing is very
simple one, although if the frog be large
more than half an hour may be consumed
in the process. The two bones of the
lower jaw are separate and capable Of
independent movement; SO the reptile
loosens its hold upon one side of its jaw,
and pushing that side forward as far as
possible it drives the teeth in again and
then draws the jaw back to its original
position.
The result is that the prey is drawn
down by the movement. The process is
then repeated by the other half of the
jaw, thus inevitably forcing the victim
inward. The snakes skin stretches enor-
mously, and the jaw is of course dislo-
Gated, but the extensible ligaments hold
the bones together.-A. q. Mayer in
Popular Science Monthly.
