Madras Thunderstorms.

AS the result Of his prolonged study
of those striking phenomena, the thun-
derstorms Of Madras, Professor Smith
informs the Scottish Meteorological So
ciety that the first remarkable fact OBJ
served by him was that Of certain sea-
sons Of the year when sheet lightning
appeared almost every night, always in
a west or southwesterly direction and
invariably near the horizon; it may be-,
therefore, he remarks, that these dis
charges occur in the region where the
moist and dustless sea wind meets the
dry and dusty land wind, one being,
perhaps, positively electrified and the
other negatively. In these lightning dis
plays as many as 800 flashes per minute
have been counted, this rate being kept
up for an hour or an hour and half
Another notable popularity remarked
Of this region is that the heaviest rains
are unaccompanied by thunder, while
the displays of lightning are not accom-
panied by any rain

But It Was Second Story Sneak ThiePs
/Stepladder. !.
Major Moore's Office in the District
building is curiosity shop. He has
there collection of articles used by the
| criminals who have been run down by
the metropolitan police: but there is
one particular article among them that
! is probably the center Of interest. In
appearance it resembles an umbrella
that has seen much service, or it might
be taken for stage umbrella, such as
is used by Marks in ''Uncle Toms
Cabin.''
This imitation umbrella was formerly
the property of a burglar, and it was by
it's means that he was able to enter the
second story Of a building: Removing
the cover, a stick wound with rope is
revealed. The stick opens like tele-
scope or a jointed fish pole. Wound
around it is a rope ladder, made of
strong material and about 10 feet in
length. The ladder is only wide enough
for one foot to be placed on the rounds.
| The extending stick was used to raise
one end of the ladder to the window
! through which the operator wished to
enter, and on one end of the ladder are
two hooks to be fastened to the sill The
continuance was taken from a colored
! burglar named James Moore, who is
now serving out 20 years. sentence in
the Albany penitentiary for housebreak-
ing.
Moore was first arrested about ten
years ago. It was then that he made use
of the ladder to gain admittance to the
houses that tempted him. He was an
old sailor, and while on board ship he
learned the art Of making and splicing
rope. Entering the field Of crime, he
conceived the idea Of the rope ladders.
It is regarded as one of the most in
genious affairs eyer made use Of by a
| thief. He carried no other tools, as he
was what is known in police circles as
a summer thief" one who works
when windows are left open. Moore
operated alone, as he was afraid to trust

ChriStiania.

The chief street Of Christiania is the
broad Karl Johans Gade, which leads
up from the eastern station to the pal
ace. Here on opposite sides are two
buildings Of Importance, where young
men flock to study and old men meet to
legislate. The proximity of politics and
learning recalls the conception Of Stein,
who hoped that the presence of a great
university in Berlin would have a good
effect on the government. The chief
Prussian and Norwegian temples Of the
thoughtful goddess were founded within
few years of each other. Both have
displayed a readiness to welcome new
ideas and furthered the cause of free
dom in countless fields of thought.
The life and movement of the city
are practically confined to this street
and the harbor. There the dramatist h.
sen is in the habit of walking every day,
and his countrymen are said to regulate
their watches by his appearance. It was
my fortune to lunch in restaurant at a
table not far from where he sat, but his
face did not specially attract me. Those

According to all ACCOUNTS, the lot Of
Norwegian fishermen and peasants is
still peculiarly hard, for nature is a
cruel stepmother, and life becomes al

Qnixotry,

Quixote is at least interesting, and
even amusing. More than this, he is of
practical service. His daring unreason-
ableness stirs up stagnating waters and
relieves the gray monotony of common
sense. Perhaps we regard him with the
pity that is akin to contempt, and call
him fanatic, enthusiast; but so have we
called the prophets that were before him.
Enthusiasm now is rather out of fash
ion, like duels and hard drinking; and
to call man enthusiastic is almost as
great an insult as to call him genteel.
And SO we look askance at Quixotry,
because it is not the "mode - But per-
haps we rather ought to weep that it is
so much thing Of the past, and cherish
those few instances of it that remain
not only because of it's artistic value,
but because where the moro sober thinker
fails, the Quixote is often Of service
Like an inferior soprano, he will be

ing is ever done without scream.
We have Mr.. BUNDLES statement that
the public is "a hass,' and it is only
too apt to stand between it's proverbial
two bundles of hay and taste neither.
It takes good deal to wake it from that
deep, sweet slumber in which it habitu-
ally lies, dreaming that it is doing some
thing, fighting old battles over again,
instead Of bestirring itself about new
ones Most progress, and especially po-
itical progress, is series of compro-
misses. No party gets as much as it
wants, but each is drag upon the other.

WAYS OF THE cUCKOOS.
/ Conclusions Derived From Long Series
| Of Obeervations In England.

Conclusions Derived From . Long Series
Of Observations In England.
The London Field tells of the eggs of
the cuckoo and of the foster parents as
exhibited in collection comprising 919
cuckoo eggs and accompanying clutches,
or sets, of the foster parents. These egg
sets were owned by E. Bidwell, Walter
Rothschild, P. Crowley and a man not
member of the British Ornithologists'
club, b. Massey, who had more. than
any other-275 cuckoo eggs and SO fos-
terers'. The conclusions which have
been arrived at in regard to the habits
of this feathered tough are put down in
one, two, three order, according to OBJ
servations recorded. These conclusions
give curious and interesting insight
into the ways Of bird, the like of
which, insomuch as the habits are con-
cerned, is found in the American COW
bird.
The eggs of the European cuckoo vary
more in size and color (marlzings) than
the eggs Of any other bird. These eggs
are remarkable in their form, the Weight
of the shells and the thickness and
hardness of the shells. The eggs laid in
the nests Of two kinds of birds (Ruti-
ella phenicurus and Fringilla monti-
fringilla) are nearly always like the
eggs Of the foster parents. Furthermore,
limitations are also common in nests of
four other varieties, but are never found
in several species. It seems from this
that the cuckoo has the power Of laying
eggs of a certain color or size resem-
bling those of the duped foster parents,
in at least some instances. Most cuckoos
lay their eggs in nests Of some particu-
lar species of bird, the red breasts or
reed warbler, for instance. Cuckoos
change to other varieties Of nests only
when they cannot find the accustomed
ones, and they come to one district year
after year.
The female bird lays about 20 eggs in
year, which is more than the respect
able female birds of ordinary species.
This is because Of the precarious exist
ence Of the eggs, which are liable to be
thrown to the ground by the birds in
whose nest they are placed. One egg
only is placed in one nest by the mother
bird, which usually, though not always.
throws out one of the original eggs.
One hundred and nineteen varieties
of birds have been imposed upon by the
cuckoo, and while most of these birds
were small ones, warblers, fycatchers
and the like, turtle, stock and ring
! doves, little grebes, mapgies, jackdoves,
/ and even the ShrikaS (fOur kinds\ have
given support to this race of beggars.

Delaware's Names.

Delaware has been called the Dia-
mond State, for, though small in size,
it formerly was of great political i'm.
portance. It also enjoys the nickname
of the Blue Hen State, this having
been bestowed on account of a gentle
man named Caldwell, who made the
state famous in sporting annals by the
quality of his gamecocks, which he al
ways bred from the eggs of blue hen,
believing that this was the best color
for the mother of a gamecock.

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of Dr.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
Striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business and made the name ''Dr. Wards"
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found SO lost to every principle of right and
justice as to undertake to despoil him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However,, In this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
"just as good as DR.. Ward's,'' frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi-
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
No. 1885.

When loan is advocated in
this paper it is done on the pre-
sumption that the money will be
faithfully expended on permanent
improvements and not otherwise.
There is not a ghost of show for
any tax revision this session which
will produce a surplus over ordi-
nary expenditures sufficient for
building roads absolutely and i'm
minently necessary for develop
ing the agricultural and pastoral
lands of the island of Hawaii.
And if tax revision is to involve
adding any the least to the bur-
dens of the people at large, wheth-
er in the form of direct taxes or
duties on imported necessaries OF
life, the BULLETIN will protest,
The corporations ought to be made

If sectarian institutions may
not constitutionally receive gov
eminent aid. either directly or in
directly, then the Young Mems
Christian Association is certainly
debarred from tax exemption. Its
constitution contains sectarian
test that excludes all who are not
members of Protestant (nomin-
ally "evangelical') churches from
active membership. The compar-
ison between the Y. Nj. G. A. and
the Library and Reading Room
Association, in this matter, is al
together wrong. Prominent Rom
an Catholics were among the
founders of our excellent semi
public library organization. 1t
would really detract from the
glory of the Y. NJ. G. A., as a
splendid monument to private

A QUESTION:.

Wouldn't you consider a
man capable Of doing the most
intricate work, capable of doing
the simple work also?
Would you consider a man
capable only of doing the sim
pie work, quite as capable for
that work, as the more skillful
one?
We have been getting ALL
your intricate and difficult
work during the years past,
now let us have ALL your
work which requires less skill;
then note after it leaves our
hands how much better it
looks-see if it does not give
you better satisfaction.
Your watch is one of your
best friends;lt merits the treat
ment you accord your friends.
We give 1t such treatment.
1t is our business. Ten years
of satisfactory work have
given US the reputation for the
best; and yet we are doing
better work to day than ever.
We are working just as hard
to keep that reputation as we
ever did to gain it. We are
not content to rest easy, and
let the reputation do all the
work; the quality will never be
lessened.
DO you know that your old
key winder can be converted to
stem winder, and that it can
be done so it will wind as
smooth as melted btuter! We
have converted a number of
them and can convert yours.
