It is strange that so little attempt is

be trained to perform as athletes and

Protection From Lightning.

Science and superstition OCCASION
ally meet on common ground, says
the Pail Mall Gazette, making it rash
to condemn old customs as senseless.
For instance, there are many print.
tive villages abroad where smoke fires
are kindled hastily upon the approach
of a thunderstorm, doubtless sur
vival, the antiquarian would say, Of
some heather rite OF Precipitation. On
the other hand, Professor Schuster
has recently pointed out that flame
VIII discharge an electrified body, and
that every fire Or chimney emitting
smoke, serves as lightning conduc-
tor for carrying off the pressure Of
electricity from charged cloud.
Some figures prepared in Schleswig-
aolstein for the purpose Of testing
this theory show that while 60
churches in 1000, and 9.5 windmills,
are struck by lightning, only one
factory chimney in 5000 suffers IN tho
sRlne way.

stone has no grain such as our granite
has, and the blocks are more durable

to ancient volcanic disturbances. The

Another advantage of these unstitch-

If YOU DREAM or SNAKES.
Various Interpretations Prevalent in
Different Localities.

From the New York Tribune.
To dream of snakes, not only in
western Massachusetts, but anywhere
in the United States, means that the
dreamer has enemies. But 1t is only IN
certain localities, Massachusetts in
cluded, that to dream of killing the
snakes presages a victory over the
enemies. Speaking of snakes, Mr..
johnson dilates on the terrors of the
mythical hoop snake, which does not
come within the scope of Mrs. Bargen's
book. But the superstition on this
point Is to be found in other places
besides Massachusetts, and it Is curl
