HOW LIGHTNING KILLS.
1t Is the Cup Stroke" That Is Always
the Nest Fatal.

1t Is the Cup Stroke" That Is Always
the Nest Fatal.
A new theory as to how lightning
kills, but one which may well be held
in allegiance until a clearer solution of
it can be presented, is just now being
urged by the scientists, says the ST.
Louis Republic. According to this
newfangled idea, person is never
"struck" by lightning at all-that is,
in the general sense of the word quoted.
The new theory is the result of deduc-
tions that have been made along the
following lines: All life is electric. In
the human body the stomach is the
generator and the brain the battery,
When a person is killed by lightning
he is not struck at all, but dies be-
cause of sudden loss of electric power
which had been impelling his physical
engine. The loss of this vital fluid, if
such it may be called, is brought about
in this manner: A thunderstorm is
passing over. 1t is charged with posi-
tive electricity and the earth beneath
is charged negatively. The human
electric battery is between. If the
cloud is charged heavily enough it saps
the negative electricity from the earth,
using the human being as a conductor,
and finally leaves him lifeless by taking
his electricity with that from the earth.
This theory is in line with that which
originated a few years ago and which
was to the effect that it was the "up
stroke" that kills

A Double-Action Joke.

Dumas fills tells of a double-acting joke
which he played on MISSIONER, who
was bctanist in his hours of leisure.
The famous dramatist sent him paper
containing the dried roe of herring,
telling him that it was the seed of a
very rare plant. GLOW are the seeds
coming on?" he asked the great paint
er the next time he saw him. ooh,
beautifully; I have planted them in
circle" And he took the astonished
joker to corner of the garden where
the heads of young behring's were just
peeping out.

THE BLENHEIM SPANIEL.

Most LovabIe of the Four-Footed Pets of
Womankfnd.
Of all the pets of womankind, babies
alone excepted, there is nothing more
lovable than the tiny Blenheim spaniel,
says an exchange.
Why this breed of dogs have the
name of the palace of the duke of NIarl-
borough no one seems to know. The
story goes, however, that the first duke
had the breed, and that, on friends
requesting puppy, he refused to part
with one, but, at the same time, took
two Or three blind whelps and threw
them to tame eagles.
But in the year 1900 his grace, the
duke of Marlborough, was reputed to
possess the smallest and best breed
of cookers (woodcock spanieIs) in Brit
ain. They were invariably red and
white, with very long ears, short noses,
and black eyes. They were evidently
the ancestors of the present Blenheims,
which are still bred by the keepers of
the lodges at Blenheim and some of the
inhabitants CT Woodstock.
But there is little doubt that they
have been crossed with the pug to give
them the very short snub noses which
they now possess. Moreover, the breed
has become very delicate and difficult
to rear. They suffer from brain dis
ease, and are more likely than any other
dog to die in puppy hood. "Idstone,"
the celebrated writer on dogs, remem-
bers the time when the Blenheims were
mainly bred in the vicinity of the pal
ace. He suggests as probable orig
inal of the Blenheim the japanese toy
spaniel The surmise seems very prob
able.

The trains from St. Petersburg, Odessa and the German frontier are bring ing the royalties, nobles and civil and military dignitaries who are to represent their respective families and governments at the erowning of the Czar of all the Russias. Gen. McD. McCook, who will officially represent the Government of the United States, is lodged with Minis ter Breckinridge at the temporary headquarters of the American lega- tion in the Rojdestvonski boulevard. where many notable American vis- itors are registering each day. There promises to be more American visi- tors in Moscow during the next thirty days than have previously set foot in the Muscovite empire in al- most as many years.
