Upward lightning strokes.

1t is hard for the mind to conceive of q
lightning flash taking other than q down
ward course when it strikes objects on the
earths surface, but there are many we'll
authenticated cases of the bolt taking the
opposite direction. A case in mind hap
pened at Manchester in August, 1888,
where the bolt was distinctly seen to strike
the base of a large cast iron chimney and
then to take an upward slant, burning a
crooked river in the metal from the point
OF contact to the top, where it escaped into
the atmosphere and exploded in the man
ner of an immense fire ball.
AT Monticello, Ia, on June 21, 1898, a
tree near the residence of G. H. George
was struck by lightning flash and torn
in manner which clearly indicated that
the current had passed upward from the
earth.
The director of the Iowa weather service
corps tells me that, while upward light
ming strokes are reckoned as freaks and
phenomena by the layman, they are not Of
infrequent occurrence and have often been
reported by meteorological observers
In one or two of the Solomon islands
and at several places on the Indian ocean
coast of Africa the upward stroke is said
to be the rule and the downward the ex-
ception.-St. Louis Republic.

course, unnecessary to state that the prin-
cipal difference, to which all others are
trihes, is that the triangular hat is now
confined to women's wear, while original
ly it was a masculine habiliment.
All sorts of hat shapes are worn, large
and small, but the toque has the prefer
ence perhaps for young girls. These toques
are Of colored straw, often with crown of
q different tint. Large hats are trimmed
with immense bows of glace taffeta, placed
near the hair at the back, the front trim
ming consisting of flowers having a change
able effect.
Fans to be carried out of doors should be
of some dark color or black, black MORE
ones being particularly liked. For evening
use, however, delicate and brilliant colors
are employed, lace, gauze and feathers be-
ing the materials or tulle decorated with
spangles
The shaped pieces of passementerie, such
as motifs, collars flgaros and plastrons,
are wonderfully rich and beautiful this sea-
son. Light and heavy lace mock jewels,
pearls spaagles and beads Of all tints and
silk and metal embroidery are all pressed
into the service, with the result that the
trimming counters of the large shops look
like Aladdins cave.

When James Mcneil Whistler went to-
Venice to make those IA famous etchings
of his, he became so intoxicated with its
beauty that he made 70 pastels first, leav-
ing his etohings till the last few days.
These pastels made tremendous sensa-
tion. All the art world of Venice was car
ried away with enthusiasm, excepting q
Russian painter, who declared them tricks,
betting basket of champagne he could
paint six not to be distinguished from
them. Mr.. Whistler amiably gave some
of his paper and six pastels, which were
finally mixed up with those by the Rus
sian and submitted to jury who had seen
none of them. Mr. Whistler's pastels were
unmistakable, and the Russian lost the
wine. A few days later the two met on
the Rialto, and Mr.. Whistler laughed a
little about the wine and the bet The
Russian was furious. "You forget, sir"
he said, that I'm Russian, and if you
scratch one you find Tartar underneath. -

Whistler, "you have it wrong I Iscratched

n Il. White, who is now or has very
recently been a citizen Of El Paso, Tex,
was once the owner Of the most wonder
ful chronological specimen ever found
since the creation of the world-a live bee
tie found in a solid matrix of iron ore.
The curiosity was discovered considera-
bic depth below the surface in the Long
fellow mine, at Clifton, A. T., and fitted
his iron sarcophagus as snugly as though
the iron had been in plastic state when
Is came in contact with the creature s
body. The bug" was of a dull, reddish
gray color and was of course of a species
wholly unknown to the entomologists.
According to the El Pasa Bullion, this
wonder was presented to a well known
scientific association of the Atlantic slope
about two years ago.-St. Louis Republic.

Width of headgear being now essential
to fashion, the three oornered hat of the
days of picturesque living is again brought
to the front, and though now worn with
a difference 1t still retains much of its be-
comingness. Straw takes the place of old
world felt or velvet, and flowers, lace and
ribbons enhance its charms where an edg-
ing OF gold lace, or at utmost single
feather (when for riding costume), was the
sole decoration allotted to the original an

trimmings, of course, to q large extent,
take from the individual character of the
shape, though they cannot altogether de-
