Atmospheric Electricity.

The belief that the formation Of
clouds is often accompanied by cleo
trical effects is confirmed by Prof.
Schuster, who describes an experience
in Switzerland. AS he was descend
ing from Dent Blanche after sunset he
found himself in a wide valley at a
height of about $1,000 feet. A current
of air was apparently blowing up the
valley, and below him he observed the
formation of a cloud at a height a lit
tie below the o line. AS night
came on, and the descent over the
glacier and down the valley was con-
tinued, a series of electric discharges
were seen between the cloud. which
was lying in a deep-cut valley. the
sides Of the mountain, and the blue
sky overhead. The moist air was evil
IDENTIFY flowing through the cloud. de-
posting its moisture in the form of
drops. and leaving the cloud in an cleo
trified state. Wherever water rubs
against air positive electricity is gem
Grated. Every wave that breaks into
spray under the action of a strong
wind leaves the water negatively cleo
rlneu. the air carrying ava! lAe posi-
tive charge. Prof. Schuster suggests
that it would be of great interest to
possess observations on atmospheric
electricity on board ship while waves
are breaking in the neighborhood. So
far we have to guide us only the OBJ
seryations of EXner, who found. onN
the Ceylon coast, that the spray from
breaking waves. showed by the cleo
trometer, that it was positively electri-
fed.

A Use for Abandoned Farms.

4 new use has been found for aban-
doned farms. 1t is well known that
in Scotland many Of the largest land
ed proprietors depend largely upon
the rental of their deer forests in the
nnual returns from their estates. and
in England there are innumerable
stretches Of land which, at present
agricultural prices, pay better to rent
for shooting than farming. 1t is sug-
gested that many abandoned farms in
this country can, at comparatively
slight expense, be made to yield a fair
return by being turned into game pre-
serves. Gunners have every year to
90 further and further from home in
search Of game, and the time must
come. when the English plan of pre-
serving game birds will have to be
adopted, if there is to be any sport
left in the country. Good, well-stock-
ed shooting lands will then fetch high
prices. and some wide-aWake business
men ropos to be early in the field.
The movement has been hitherto main
ly confined to shooting and country
clubs, which, having acquired runs of
property, have prohibited the indis-
criminate killing of game on their
lands or of fish in their rivers by the
public; but it is probable that such
acquisition and preservation will soon
FORM a distinct branch of private enter
prise. 10 show it's possibilities a Con-
necticut farmer has bought up a lot
of abandoned farms and swamp and
wood land, a%ggregating about 5000
ooror ord fonced il in. In this do
main he intends to encourage the de-
velopment of all kinds of game indig-
enous to thai region-winged, timed
or four-footed. He has one patch of
twelve acres sown wholly to buck
wheat. which will not be cut. but left
for the Bob Whites" These birds
perish in great numbers in hard Win
tiers, as we'll as ruttled grouse. and
plenty of brush will be left on the res
ervation for their protection and shell

The horrors of the war In Cuba are
only half realized by people in the
United States. They overtake the
Spaniards chiefly. Hundreds die Of
fever and hunger; soldiers curse their
country for throwing them naked and
starving into a strange and hostile
land; men commit suicide rather than
endure the terrible suffering and the
hopeless failure; others, sent to crush
the insurrectionists, desert to Join
them, and a cavalry colonel, suspected
Of disloyalty. blows out his brains.
Whether Cuba be right or wrong,
whether she throw off the Spanish
yoke or sink again under 1t, the cam
paign, as directed from Madrid and az
mistakenly managed by Gen. Campos,
Is one Of those blunders which are

Buckove was in the lead. He is the
man who is supposed to have been the
principal in the crime. AS Seljan's
discolored features appeared before

screamed with terror. He put both
hands over his face to shut out the
awful sight. and sobbed in the most
pitiable manner. Drobinic and Milan
were equally affected, but they did not
break down. Mrs. Milan broke down
and wept bitterly for an hour. She

Man With n Red Nose Will Not BE
Familiar With Children.
1t was on a Sixth avenue elevated
train going up town, says the Detroit
Free Press. A man with a red nose
which terminated in a knob got on at
Franklin street and sat down beside
q little girl about five years of age,
who was accompanied by q brother of
twelve. She was n sharp-eyed, hand
some child, and after a few minutes
the red-nosed man felt his heart warm
up to her and said:
"Well, little girl, are you going
somewhere?"
She looked up but made no answer,
and after a minute he smiled more
blandly and continued:
"You are an awfully nice little girl,
and 1 wish l had some candy for you.
Is that your brotber?"
"Say, mister!!" called the boy as he
leaned forward, 'you don't know much
about children, do you"
Eyes, I know all about 'em.".
"Well, then, you can take. your
chances with her."
Chances? What chances:"
"Why, if you get her to talking she
will up'n and ask you all about that
nose o. your'n, and if you don't want
to give it away you'd better keep
still"
Six passengers on the opposite seat
began to grin at once, and the man
with the nose got up and solemnly
and stifay marched up the aisle and
opened the door and dropped into a
seat in the next car. He thought he
knew all about children, but that boy
had given q pointer never to be for
gotten. r.:

He has travelled several times across

The decision of England to build a
railway from the coast to the heart of
Africa will probably induce France to
go into a similar enterprise. Henry

est needs of Africa is a north and

Mi.placed Heroism.

Some little time ago a benevolent
lady read in the papers a paragraph
to the effect that, in a effort to save
his cat from being crushed BY the
wheels of a passing omnibus, a small
boy had been knocked down and SET
iously injured by the vehicle, and had
been obliged to be taken to a South
London hospital.
The lady, who probably kept cats
herself, greatly admired the boys de.
votlon to the '.poor dumb animal" and
wrote to the. hospital, enclosing. a
handsome sum for the brave and hui
maine little sufferer"
By return of post came a letter
from the matron acknowledging the
receipt Of the money, but, alas! ex-
planning that the cat which had been
the cause of all the woe was an even
dumber thing than the lady had m
ragined.
1t was, in fact, that dangerous and
abominable toy, . tiD-cat!
