Lightning Strikes Twice.

The results Of observation Of light
ming and the damage and destruction
it causes are given in pamphlet is
sued by the weather bureau at Wash
ington. Among the curious facts
noted is that the old theory that light
ming never strikes twice in the same
place does not hold good. Many in
stances are cited where lightning has
struck in the same place not only
twice, but several times. Another
singular fact is that barns in the
country, which appear to be favorite
marks for lightning, are seldom struck
at the seasons of the year when empty,
but suffer most when they are filled,
just after harvest time.
1t is shown by the records that in
June, 1894, ninety-six persons were
killed by lightning in this country
and 1O2 severely injured, while
numerous COWS, sheep and goats were
knocked down and property destroyed
worth $25O,O0O. But in November OF
the same year only one dwelling was
struck. The hot summer months are
the favorite seasons for the lightning
to play. Some States are more affect
ed than others. New York State leads
in the record of barns struck during
1882, Pennsylvania coming next, and
Michigan third. In 1892 the damage
from fires caused by lightning amount
ed to nearly $4,000, 900 in the United
States, and in no single year since the
figures have been kept has the loss
been less than 81, 100000
During the five years the weather
bureau has been keeping these records
1,12O persons have been killed by
lightning in this country, making an
average Of 224 per year. During ten
years 1923 churches have been struck.
The fact in noted that building may
be seriously damaged without having
been struck at all. This is done
through electric induction, and the
case Of the Hotel de Vile, at Brus-
sells, is cited, as fire was caused there
by lightning when it was sup
dosed to be the best protected build
in the world.-Syracnse Journal.

A Novel Love Romance.

Here's a curious story of love and
courtship. 1t comes by way Of the
Athens, Ca, News. About two years
ago young gentleman of this city,
while in Savannah, got into street
car with heavy umbrella under his
arm. Like a great many other care
less people, he held it at dangerous
angle, with the point sticking out be-
hind him, and ere long the car gave a
lureh and a lady just behind him
emitted an ear splitting scream. Every
body jumped and looked, and to his
horror the young man found that the
point of his umbrella had come in con-
tact with the nose of the young lady
seated just behind him. Of course,
he apologized, or tried, but it was like
apologizing for murder over the body
of the victim, for the lady's nose was
bleeding and she was almost in con-
vulsions with pain.
The car was stopped at the next
corner where happened to be drug
store, and the young man, aided and
abetted by one or two elderly ladies,
who at once took lively interest in
the case, helped the young lady off
and into the store, and posted off haste
after doctor. One was found, and
the unlucky nose was soon put in
working order, and the owner, attend
ed by the married ladies, was sent
home in a carriage.
The young man took her address
and hunted up mutual acquaintance,
with whom he called the next day to
Nee how the nose was getting along.
TS&e nose did well, so did the young
l. l. p, for by the time the nose was out
ne laaA Hanger he had got in the habit of
VI ing so that it became natural for

Perhaps this has its scientific solu-
tion in the fact that thes curls defect
the rays of the tropical sun, thus pre-
venting their more severe penetration
into the brain. In the transmission
of light it is law that every inter
vening object with which ray comes
in contact bends and diverts it another
direction.
Heat curls every kind Of hair, and
that which is provided in nature for
the protection Of the brain from injury
by the rays of tropical sun is Gre
ated endowment, which by degrees is
becoming naturally transmissible and
inherited.
The skull of the African with its
peculiar thickness, affords another
| feature of protection to the brain.
It is evident that it is the outdoor
exposure Of the working classes that
makes their skin 80 black. 1t must
also be remembered that it is not the
skin alone of the men Of Africa which
manifests deep color, but this charac-
teristic is noticed in all the birds, fish,
beasts, reptiles and plants.
Another fact in relation to this phe'
nomenon is, that everything grows
less deeply colored as We approach the
polar regions. There the white bear
is found, and nowhere else; while the
black bear lives and is now native tc
almost every other climate.

Does Not Believe There Is Any
Possibility of War With
Great Britain.
EXCHANGE OF COMMUNICATIONS
Disagreements Not Regarded Serious
Enough to Cause Clash Between
the Two Nations.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Jan. 1.-THE whole
tone of the information that is capable of
being CLEANED from Government papers
points to an early restoration of amicable
relations between Germany and England.
If the Emperor, his Ministers or the Ger
man people were influenced in the least
by the savage and unrestrained language
INDUCED in by the English newspapers, as
shown by the summaries of their articles
telegraphed here, an open rupture between
the two Governments might be imminent.
But the Kaiser has for long time recog-
nized the responsibility of the diatribes
of the English press and the English
people, and, though he is deeply irritated
thereat, he does not seem to believe that
there is any possibility whatever of an
outbreak of war between Germany and
Great Britain over such a question as that
involved in the Transvaal disturbances
If the Emperor has any motives beyond
mere interference in behalf of Govern
ment asking his assistance in prevailing
against an alien revolution and for the
purpose of protecting German interests,
there is no indication here that would
afford the slightest clew to them.
The semi-otficial newspapers discuss the
question of the isolation of England, but
they make not the slightest allusion to
any alliance against Great Britain which
the French and English press regard as
being projected.
In Berlin the tone of the Foreign Office
concerning the excitement of the English
press and public and the English naval
demonstrations and exhibition of sea
strength is not really akin to contemptu-
Gus indifference. There is a constant ex-
change of communications between the
two Governments, with a consequent dis
closure of a difference of policy at various
points OF contact apart from the Trans
vaal; but none of these disagreements in
volve such radical disturbance of the re-
latlons of the two powers as would call for
an increase of armament on either side.
In official circles the view taken of Lord
Salisbury feet demonstrations is that the
English Premier is playing to the mob
and that his attitude cannot mean an at
tempt to influence the policy of the EN-
peror, who, Lord Salisbury well knows,
will take its development unaffected in the
slightest degree by menaces or demonstra-
tions from any quarter.
The North German Gazette prints an

confer with the French Government in re-
gard to the situation in the Transvaal.
He will return to Berlin at the special in
vitation of the Emperor to attend the
fetes on the occasion of the Enlperor's
birthday, January q.
DR.. Schweninger is resolutely opposed
to Prince Bismarck coming to Berlin from
Friedrichsruhe on January Is to take part
in the celebration of the twenty-tifth ami
versary of the proclamation of the German
empire, and if the weather is adverse the
Emperor will cooperate with others in ad-
vsing the Prince, for the sake of his
health, to submit to the dictum of his old
physician and absent himself from the
fetes.
A new decoration has been created for
distribution on January Is to persons who
were prominently associated with the
foundation OF the empire. The day will
be national holiday, and Berlin and
other German cities will be decorated with
flags by day and Illuminated at night.

Copyright, 1895, by the New York Times

LONDON, ENG, Jan. 1.-THE German
Emperor continues to be uppermost in the
British minds. This sedate and some
what cumbroUs organism now and again
directs itself toward DR.. Jameson or Presi-
dent Kruger, or even fiutters briefly in the
direction of Washington, but it reverts al
ways to the Kaiser. Although q week has
elapsed, its anger burns brighter than
ever, but its bewilderment has also in
creased. 1t still hesitates at the dilemma
of deciding whether he is a mere ire
sponsible crank or a deliberate assailant.
Most of what happened in Germany dur
ing the week seems to support the former
theory.
There has been a complete lack of
official or political demonstrations of a de-
sire TO emphasize the truculent tone of the
Emperor's famous dispatch, and, on the
other hand, from Bismarck down, every
body of Importance who has made a sign
at all has shown the desire 10 read into it
something and add pacific meanings It
is obvious that official word was sent
round to the papers Monday 10 stop shout
ing, and to say that the English were mis-
taken in supposing that the telegram had
q truculent intention.
Letters from Germany, too began to
arrive, saying that the fact that the Kaiser
showed the message to the Ministers be-
fore sending it was of no such significance
as the English might imagine, because he
had his Ministers in such state of cring-
ing subiectiOn that they did not dream of
dissenting from anything that he showed
them, and now confine their services to
the state entirely to going round eau
tiously after him and undoing as much of
the mischief he had wrought as was pos
sible. Still later there seemed to be GER
tain signs that the Emperor himself was
frightened at what he had done and was
willing to let others patch up the best
sort of apology for his haste that they
could manage.
To-day's reports that he has written a
contrite letter to his royal grandmother fl t
this theory that he is anxious to quiet the
storm that his action has raised, and if
that is really the case the English will
find satisfaction in the feeling that his own
people will punish him in good time for
such recklessness or levity.
But on the other hand what has been
