DEATH BY LIGHTNING.
a Theory That It Is Caused by the Upward
Electric Current.


The phenomenon of lightning is the
signal that announces the coming to-
gether of different electric currents in
the restoration of equilibrium. All
life is electricity, the stomach is a re-
generator, the brain is battery, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. When one
is killed by lightning, death is due to
absorption--to to loss of this vital fluid,
or whatever it may be termed, that inn
pels the physical engine. A thunder
cloud is charged with positive cleo
sricity, the earth below is charged
negatively. Any object below this
loud is similarly charged with this
negative current. A discharge from
above takes place, the currents meet,
gnition ensues, the expansion of the
gases produces a vacuum, the air comes
together again with a report and this
S thunder.
A late view is, when one animate OBJ.
ject is struck dead by lightning, that
che upward and not the downward
current is the agent. The fact that no
bird on the wing has been known to
be killed by lightning Is not con-
elusive in sustaining this latter view
of the method of lightning in produc-
ing death.
When a tree is thus struck, the sod
is frequently lifted away from the
'oots in such a manner as to indicate
.he downward passage of the stroke.

Despite rumors lately circulated to the
effect that the insurgents were COM
pletely demoralized, and that the
Cubans had broken into scattered
bands of SO or so in the province of
Pinar del Rio, news has been received
that the insurgents have blown a pas

the censor prohibited the publication

out, creating sensation, and the
Gveliest discussion in places where

with engine No. II, carrying Captain
Dupla and a force of engineers, left
Artemisa, and while passing culvert
at a place called Ocemura, between
Candelaria and Mangas stations. a
dynamite bomb exploded, destroying
the engine and the armored tender, as
we'll as the culvert, also wrecking
several cars. Engineer Genaro Rodri-
guez, an American; Ciraco Carreras,
the fireman, and three soldiers were
killed. Military DR.. Gonzales, Aedo,
the conductor, the brakeman and II
private soldiers were wounded. Cap
tain Dupla and the sergeant escaped
injury. The bodies of the engineer
and fireman were sent to Havana for
burial. A repair train has been sent
from Candelaria to repair injuries TO
the line. All the wounded were sent
to Candelaria.
Other reports from the province of
Pinar del Rio announce that Mariel
Rodriguez and 1900 men succeeded in
crossing the trocha and joining the
insurgents in the province of Pinar
del Rio. General Ruis Rivera, it is as
serted. also succeeded in passing the
trocha, entering Havana province, and

Henry Earl Arrested in San Fran cisco for
RoDbing the Maccabees.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31.-Harry M.
Earl, "a years of age, was arrested Sat
urday night by Policeman Graham
and Sheriff Cunningham, of San Joa-
quin county, and booked at the city
prison en- route to Tacoma, where he
is wanted for the embezzlement of the
funds of the Maccabees. Earl was a
collector for the Maccabees, and failed
to turn over to the treasurer all the
money paid to him. He left Tacoma
shortly after he embeZzled the money
and came to California.
The peculations of Earl are known
to be $500. The money was paid in by
members for insurance. The exami-
nation made SO far covers the ac-
counts of about one month. 1t is
feared the total will be much larger,
possibly as much as $4,000, when the
accounts of the entire year 1895 are
gone over.
