A Miorobe That Makes Plants Grow.

The most important subject discussed at the recent meeting of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists in Wash- ington was a Few discovery which may fairly be termed sensational.
 This discovery relates to species of mi crobe which actually makes plants grow. In it has been found the mysterious agent by whose aid all things vegetable are en- abled to absorb nitrogen, which is their chief food. Without its assistance plant life would disappear entirely from the earth, and in consequence animal life, in- cluding mankind, would perish likewise. Yet this beneficent micro organism is so small that it can only be seen when mag nified 800 diameters. It is q bacterium and micro eoccus-that is to say, shaped like little ball.

 A GRACEFUL THUNDERBOLT.
It FIoated Into Hotel Where the Wheel 1 CTS Were and Then Exploded.


 Mir Edward H. Wheeler of New Lon don, Conn, VI ho has just returned from & family reunion at the old homestead of Joseph Sumner Wheeler, in Dixfield viii lage, Me, tells 6 strange story about a thunderbolt that dropped into the pretty Dixfeld hotel the other day, the most ex- traordinary electrical performance perhaps ever recorded on the part of down east' freak lightning.
 All the members of the large family had met in the village for the first time since their youth, and as the weather was threat enlng and there was barely room enough in the ancient Wheeler home for them all to meet in q single apartment they ad- lourned to the ample country parlor of the village inn
 There they had rallied about son, who read letter from brother n-law, D. c. Talbot of Coventry, Conn The reader had nearly completed his task when Q dismal thunderstorm which had been gathering all the morning suddenly broke over the tavern roof with a great rush of rain and din of rattling thunderbolts The epistle closed With the words, May Gods richest blessings rest upon you.''
 The reader had barely finished when a phenomenal lightning ball fioated into the room. f 1t did not appear to be thunder bolt at all, 7 said MT. Wheeler, narrating the incident, although of course it was one, and it did not fall with the incaleula- ble speed and impact of an ordinary light ming stroke. On the contrary, it seemed to drift into the apartment. so volatile it was, splendid, many colored, dazzling sphere, almost as large as toy balloon.
 It sank slowly to the floor, capered lightly into the middle of the chamber. then floatcd about foot above the boards and instantly took the form of crescent, still particolored and bright as a rainbow Every one Was spellbound, breathless with awe and astonishment, watching the antics Of the weird intruder, and no one spoke, except that young lady member of the company uttered q low scream.
 At that instant the electric ball elas- tically resumed it's original spherical shape and exploded with q report as loud as that of a cannon, which shook the whole house so that the windows rang and rattled as the building trembled.
 No one was injured in the least nei- ther was tho room nor it's furniture dam aged, but the explosion of the ball diffused a thin wreath of smoke and slight odor of birthstone.
 1t was the strangest phenomenon l ever witnessed and I would not have be- lieyed the incident possible if I had not seen it with my own eyes. New York Herald

Woman Lawyer Wins g Divorce Suit.

Attorney Nellie G. Robinson tried he1 first divorce case and got decree in hali an hour at Cincinnati recently. This is the first time divorce case has been tried in Ohio by a woman lawyer.
 The plaintiff was Cora Marshall whose husband, formerly waiter at the Queen City club, was shown to be a brutal man. The decree was allowed for cruelty and abandonment.
 The courts have refused to hear divorce cases during vacation, and Judge Wilson refused to hear this one, but referred Miss Robinson to Judge Sayler, the bachelor. She made such an eloquent plea that he came right out to the bench and told her to go ahead. Chicago Tribune.

H0W's THIS FOR NERVE9
A Michigan Woman Fights RattIer
 Which Had Bitten Her.

W men A1a0 8iLCen Her.
 Mrs. Adam Streit, an aged woman liv- ing two miles from Adrian, Mich, was cutting grass on the river flats recently when big snake wound itself around her bare ankle and bit her. In her fright she dropped her sickle, but quickly nerving herself she seized the snake and flung it from her. It immediately coileef for & second spring, and she jumped back. Again the snake coiled and when it sprang Mrs. Streit made swipe with the sickle and cut it's head clean off. With the same blow, however, she cut q big slash in her ankle, seyering two veins and opening wound across the place where the serpent had sunk it's fangs.
 She ran to the river and washed the blood away and then sewed up the wound with needle and thread which she had in her pocket She started to walk home, but soon the thread gave way, and the wound began to bleed afresh. She had no more thread and could think of noth- ing but 9 big brass safety pin which held her dress together. With this she gather ed the edges of the wound, and holding her apparel as best she could walked a quarter of mile to her home
 The doctors say that the profuse bleed ing saved her from serious results of the snake bite.
 The snako proved to be a rattler five feet long. g.-New York World.
