Death of Trees by Sunstrokc.

During the late extraordinary war;
spell, the writer of this paragraph
was called upon to see a large sugar
maple tree that was supposed to have
been destroyed by a leak of the city
gas main at the root; but an examina-
ton showed that the tree died, literal
ly, from sunstroke. 1t is strange that
close observers of trees are unable to
see when anything is out of the COM
mon run of things, and consequently
note that something is going wrong.
This sugar maple had been planted
on the street probably a quarter of a
century ago, and was about 4 feet in
circumference: but the trunk was al
most triangular, and vet this
popularity seemed to attract no at
tentiOn. The tee was simply triangular
because on three sides of the tree the
bark and wood had evidently been de-
strOyed years ago, while the outer bark
still continued to V up the injury,
and the only live wood was on the
angles of the trunk. Only about one
third of the trunk was practically
alive. When the exceedingly warm
spell came, 1t was impossible for these
limited ducts to supply the moisture
required for such a large surface of
foliage, annd the tree, therefore,
literally died from inability to furnish
the moisture required for tranSpira-
ton. 1t may always be taken for
granted, that when the trunk of a tree,
naturally cylindrical, takes an angular
from. there is something wrong
beneath the bark, and an examation
should at once be made. The fiatter
portions will usually be found dead.
In this case, the bark should wholly
be cut away from the dead portion,
and the denuded part painted, in order
to check rOtting away. In time the,
healthy wood may grow over the
wound OF ~lifeless part. and the life of
the tree be eventually saved.-Mee'

Thunder and Lightning.

If you see a flash of lightning you
are largely against your being struck
by the next. 1t is wise, however, not
to make yourself a convenient neal
of escape for electricity on it's way to
the ground. Therefore do not sit or
stand by an open window or door nor
any place where there is IA strong
draught. Lightning is more danger
Gus before the rain begins, for the
rain helps to carry it to the ground.
If out of doors do not seek shelter
under a tree or in a barn. A recent
report sent out by the government
states that the popular belief that
barns are struck more fire.
q~uently than other buildings and are
particularly liable to disaster when
filed with hay, is correct. The fact
is accounted for principally by the
strata of warm air which a well-illed
barn generates. 1t may also be due
to the absence of crops in the fields,
for each stalk acts as Il miniature
lightning rod. An English lecturer
states that a thunder cloud cannot
cross a river, but that a general dis

lar storm is developed on the opposite
side. This probably accounts for
showers meeting.
Heat lightning may be the reflection
of a distant thunder storm or it may
come from a storm raging high in the
air. In this latter case the a
we do not hear thunder is that the
sound loses it's intensity as it passes
through the dense lower air.
A thunder bolt Or ball of fire is a
reality, though not of the character
generally imagined. 1t is not a solid
ball of fire, but merely electricity in a
spherical form. Sometimes when it
plows into the earth it vitrifies the
flint or sand of which the soil is COM
posed, and this substance being found
the ignorant suppose it fell from the
clouds.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Among the passengers on a Western
train recently was a woman very
much overdressed, accompanied by a
bright-looking nurse girl and a self
willed, tyrannical boy Of about three
years.
The boy aroused the Indignation of
the passengers by his continual shrieks
and kicks and cream and his vicious
ness toward his patient nurse. He tore
her bonnet. scratched her hands and
finally spat in her face, without "A

self for a nap, and about the time the
boy slapped the nurse for the fifth
time a wasp came sailing in and flew
on the window of the nurses seal.
The boy at once tried to catch it.
The nurse caught his hand and said
ccaXingly:
Harry mustn't touch. Bug bite
Harry
Harry screamed savagely and began
to kick and pound the nurse.
The mother, without opening her
eyes or lifting her head, cried out
sharply:
why do you tease that child so,
Mary? Let him have what he wants
at once"
but, ma'am, it's "a

Thus encouraged, Harry clutched at
the wasp and caught it. The scream
that followed it brought tears of joy
to the passengers eyes.
The mother awoke again.

Mary turned in her seat and said,
confusedly:

Strange Relationships in Marriage.
1t is rarely that a daughter becomes
her mothers mother-in-law. yet this
curious coincidence does occasionally
happen.
A friend of mine, a colonel in the
army, had been a widower for some
years. and resided with his sons and
daughters in Plymouth.
At a ball given by the officers of his
regiment he met a beautiful young
girl. with whom he fell desperately in
love, and, to make a long story short,
they were soon married.
AT the years end there was an addi-
ton TO the family. OF course the
mother came to be with her daughter
on this interesting occasion. and being
a handsome, well preserved woman,
the colOnel's eldest son became much
attached to her, and before long led
her to the hymenial altar. Thus the
daughter became mother-in-law to her
own mother.
Another strange relationship is that
of a lady who is mother-in-law to her
two sisters in a somewhat similar
fashion to the above, they having mar
ried her stepsons. | myself am cousin
to my w sister, she having espoused
my husbands first cousin, and am sec
ond cousin to my nephews-her Sons.

Chips of knowledge,

In spite of the large consumption of
Egyptian cigarettes in Europe the
amount of exported cigarettes is al
most insignificant as compared with
that reserved for use in the country
itself. While the total export of 1894
amounted to 1868 kilogrammes. no
less than 2,515,S21 were consumed in
Egypt.
The coolest spot on the earth is said
to be WerchoIaansk. Siberia. Though
it is not so very far north, being in lat
itude G1.30 north, the thermometer
gets down sometimes to 90 degrees be-
low zero.
Some of the tops with which the Chi
nese amuse themselves are as large as
barrels. 1t takes three men to spin
n and it gives off a sound that may
be heard several hundred yards dis
tant.

A very remarkable thing in the way
of birds nests is preserved in the mu-
scum of natural history at SolerTe,
Switzerland, whittier it was brought
by one NJ. Rudolph Rueder. 1t is a
nest made entirely of steel.
There are a number of clockmaking
shops at Soleure, and in the windows
of these shops there are often found
lying disused or broken springs of
clocks.
Early last summer NJ. Rueder, one of
these clockmakers noticed a birds
nest of peculiar appearance in a tree
in his yard. He examined it. and
found that a pair of wag-tails had
built a nest entirely of clock springs,
which they they had picked up, here
and there, about the village. The nest
was more than four inches across, and
a perfectly comfortable one for the
birds.
After the feathered architects had
reared their brood NJ. Rueder persent-
ed the nest to the museum of the
town, Where it is preserved as a
striking illustration of the skill of
birds in turning their surroundings to
advantage in building their nests

HOnOrS to an EleDhant,

The story of Jocko published recent
ly brings to mind the public funeral
of an animal who died in Siam not
quite three years ago. There were in
that country four sacred white Gle
plants, and Il of these dying at the
advanced age of 122. it was given a
funeral grander than that accorded
to princes of royal blood. One hun
bred Buddhist priests officiated, and
tho three surviving white elephants
led the procession. Trumpeters her
aided its advance, and thousands of
devout Siamese men and women fol-
lowed. The king and his court re-
ceived the remains at the Menam riv-
er, down which thousands of barges
and movable houses fioated. Flags of
all kinds We're used, and reliable esti-
mates placed the attendance at more
than 10000. The king bowed his knee
to the funeral car in recognition of
the alleged divinity of the deceased.
ard the proceedings were continued
well into the night. The jewels and
offerings buried with the elephant
represented some thousands of pounds.

FIGHTING WITH CHEESE.
A Few Broadsides of the Dutch Ar
ticle Won the Day,

ticle Won the Day.
The most remarkable ammunition
ever heard of was used by the cele-
brated Commodore Coe, of the Monte
vldlan navy, who, in an engagement
with Admiral Brown of the Buenos
Ayrean service, fired every shot from
his lockers. what shall we do, STRIP
asked his first lieutenant.
1t looked as if Coe would have to
strike his colors, when it occurred to
his first lieutenant to use Dutch
cheese as cannon balls. There hap
pened to be a large quantity of these
on board, and in a few minutes the
fire of the old Santa Maria, Goes ship,
which had ceased entirely, was re-
opened, and Admiral Brown found
more shot flying about his head. Di-
rectly one of them struck the main
mast, and as it cid so, shattered and
flew in all directions.
What the dickens is the enemy fir
ing? asked Brown. But nobody could
tell. Directly another came in through
a port and killed two men who were
near him and then, striking the oppo-
site bulwarks, burst in pieces.
Brown believed it to be some new
tangled paixhan or other, but as four
or five more of them came slap
through his sails, he gave orders to fill
away, and actually backed out of the
hight, receiving a parting broadside of
Dutch cheeses.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
