STRIPPED BY LIGHTNING.

The Startling Experience Of a Montana
Man, Who Still Survives the Shock.
Charles z. Hoffman, OF Butte, Mont,
was standing at the mouth Of mine
not long ago when he was struck by
Lightning. The thunderbolt, he thinks,
first struck the straw hat he was wear
ing, and it tore d hole in the hat that
cut part Of the rim. Then it tore his
clothing into shreds and left him
naked. Both his overalls and the shirt
he was wearing presented the appear
ance of having passed through a sau
sage mill. Nobody can tell him why
he was not killed by the lightning.
The bolt, he says, after passing through
his hat, struck him on the shoulder and
ran the full length of his body, burn
ing the skin to a crisp on the side and
legs. 1t also cut his left foot on the
side and bottom, breaking the bones of
the foot.
My clothes were torn to pieces and
thrown from my body" said Mr.. HofP-
man to writer for the New York
World, land my shoes were torn from
my feet
lie became unconscious as soon as he
was struck by the lightning and did
not revive for an hour and a half.
When he regained his senses Hoffman
was in great pain and he was confined
to the hospital for nine weeks. When
Hoffman's clothing was examined after
the accident it was seen that in many
places the lightning had cut the cloth
as neatly as ii it had been done with a
razor. Some of the cuts were long and
straight. The lightning took his
clothes off quicker than he could have
undressed himself, and it threw them
in pile on one side of the track, with
his shoes carefully deposited beside the
pile. The clothes seemed to have been
neatly folded until they were exam
med and found to be a pile of rags.
Hoffman's pants had been yanked off
him without the formality of pulling
them over his feet. This seemingly i'm
possible task was accomplished by
the lightning first cutting each leg
open, and then it appeared to have tax
en- them by the seat and dropped them
on the coat, and to finish the job by
depositing Mr.. Hoffman's straw hat on
top of all. After it got through with
Hoffman this remarkable streak of
lightning ran along metal track into
the Glengary mine, at the mouth of
which he had been working, ran to the
end of the shaft, which is four hundred
feet below the surface of the ground,
and then it ran along a cross cut two

Hard to Remember.

1T has always seemed curious to me, -
said an old sailor, that there are some
men who never by any possibility can
learn anything about ship. I've
known men of great intelligence and
learning who simply couldn't remem-
Der, no matter how hard they tried,
which was the starboard and which
the port side of ship. But then I've
known, too, men on shore who never
could remember which was the nigh

pillars was still standing firm, though
corners of the brick-work were clipped
one inch or so, and the fire clay mortar
was largely washed out OF the joints.
On removing the casing, however, the

paint being unscorched, and the fuslble
plugs only showed a temperature OF
one hundred and forty-nine degrees
Fahrenheit.

How the Japanese Make Marvels for the

At Jamracll's. in London, the other
day, some one asked the great animal
catcher and importer ''if he had run
out of mermaids?"
1--WE used to keep them" he an
swered, when they fetched four
pounds apiece, but now we can't get
more than one pound for them. Frank
auckland burst up the trade when he
exposed the method of their manufac-
ture by the Japanese from fish and
monkey skin cleverly united; so we no
longer make them leading article, >"
he smilingly added.
1.-THE japanese are remarkably in
genious."
Not only that, but they possess inf
mite patience The telescope fish is
case in point. 1t is fish of immense
length, with double, fanlil1e TAIL and
produced by breeding on the principle
of artificial selection. However, they
are quite common in Germany now"
and do you know how they get
white Java sparrows?"
''TheY select a pair of grayish birds
and keep them in a white cage in
white room, and they are attended By
a person dressed in white. The mental
effect on a series of generations of birds
results in completely white birds. They
breed the domestic cock with enor-
mously long tails after the same princi-
pie. They first select a bird with a
good tail, giving him very high perch
to stand on; then with weights they
drag the tail downward, carrying on
the same system with the finest speci-
mems of his descendants till tail al
most as long as peacock's is produced
at last. And how marvellous they are
in the fertilization of plants! Did you
ever see one of their dwarf trees, per-
haps fifty years old, and yet not more
than an inch or two high?'

Early Maturity Means Success.

Do not forget the rock upon which
all future meat products can success
fully rest is that of early maturity. If
we are not prepared to stand on this,
we had better not try to stand at all.
Just what constitutes early maturity
needs some definition. Conditions must
determine this, but in round numbers
for cattle it should be full market

venient to attain, sale value considered

BIRTH OF A NEW LANGUAGE.
Influence of Indian Soldiers on the Inhab-
itants of Central Africa.

In recent issue of the British Cen
trail Africa Gazette correspondent
gives some interesting particulars Of
the progress made in the district at the
northeastern end of Mount Manic since
it's occupation by the administration
and the building of Fort Lister, which
Il. H. johnson planted in that region
to command the route frequently taken
BY slave caravans from the interior to
Quillmane. Among other matters
which he notices as due to the presence
of the Sikh soldiers who garrison Fort
Lister is the beginning of what is prac-
tically new language. "Where the
Indian soldiers are to be found there
will also be found most extraordinary
language, a mixture of Hindustanl,
Swahili, Yao and Chinyanja. This is
most remarkable near Fort Lister. 1t
is one of the newest languages on
earth; it cannot be more than year
old, but is well understood by the peo-
pie. The vocabulary is limited, and as
for the grammar it is as yet uniformed,
but I am confident that should the In
dian soldier remain in this country
another FIVE years the plilologist will
be delighted to study the Indo-African
language of the future and to trace to
their origin the marvellous words COM
posing it. The same correspondent
notes that with the advent of the Sikhs
a wonderful change has come over the
habits and manners of the native.
Where formerly his wants in the mat
ter of clothing were confined to suf-
ficient calico to clothe his family and
himself, he now requires boots, turs
bans, trousers and coats, and at dis
lance it is said to be now difficult to
distinguish the half-naked savage of a
year ago from the Sikh soldier in his
ordinary dress. Another matter in
which the African initiates the Sikh is
in the military salute, with which the
native now frequently accompanies the
greeting OF Europeans, the result being
more amusing than correct.

Bricks Laid in Portland Cement Success

Some experiments were recently made
by the building inspection department,
Vienna, on the protection Of iron from
fire by casing it with brick, says Engi-
neering A wrought iron column
twelve feet long, and built up of two
channels connected by lattice bars, was
used. This was set up in small cham
Der constructed of brick, and the
column was loaded by levers. This
done, it was surrounded by four and
one-half inch brick wall laid in fire-clay
mortar. The wall did not fit closely
around the column, and advantage was
taken in this to fix there samples of
fusible metals, and which should serve
as gauge of the temperature attained.
Various samples of stone concrete and
other materials We're also placed in the
chamber within the column. This cham
Der was then filed with split frewood,
which was lighted, and the doors i'm
mediately walled up with slabs of plas-
ter of paris. After the fire had broken
out the doors were broken in and a
stream of water turned into the room
from a fourteen horsepower fire en-

showed that the walls of brick, laid in
