DANGER FROM LIGHTNING.
Il 1t Increased or Dimlnished by tho
Presence Of Many telegraph Wires?

II 1t Increased or DlmInished by tho
Presence Of Many TELEGRAPH Wires7
There is a somewhat widespread i'm
preston hat the use of so much wire
for telephone and other electrical pur-
poses in cities and towns largely IN
creases the danger Of lightning trokes.
The notion Is based upon the concentfa~
ton within certain limits of a great
quantity Of conducting material, Whlch.
1t IL assumed, attracts h electricity
and thereby increases the danger OF IL.
While it is true that the increase OF
conducting material increases the at
traction, it Is not true that 1t increases
the danger. AS a matter or 1act' IL
decreases the danger, for the more sur
face electricity has over which TO
spread, the more readily and quickly
It Is carried to the earth. A house with
a metal roof Is not often struck by
lightning, for, while the metal may at
tract the electricity, it also gives 1t
room to spread out, and Its force IS thus
dissipated. This fact was demonstrat-
ed by Franklin with his kite long ago,
and lightning rod are put on buildings
to give storm clouds a means or d1s-
charging their electricity into the earth.
This discharge place without the
report that we call thunder, for cleo
tricity makes no noise unless 1t meets
some resisting medium. 1t is a we'll
known fact that there is less danger
from lightning in cities than in the
country and this is due to the general
use Of iron, steel and other metals in
city buildings. The buildings are tall
and would seem. therefore, to be spe-
cially attractive to the lightning; in
deed, they are often struck, but the
metal in them dissipates the force of
the fluid and carries it harmlessly and
quietly to the earth. The effect of tele-
phone wires upon atmospheric electric
ity has been under official investiga-
ton by the German department of
telegraphs, and statistics from 900 cit
les show that the danger from lightning
strokes is four times as great in towns
that do not have the telephone as ir
those that have it. The conclusion OF
the whole matter, therefore, is that ar
abundance Of wires gives protection
from lightning. instead of increasing
the danger.

Uses Of the Lichen.

The lichen's most important function
seems to be to beautify the landscape,
though some tiny ones are utilized by
mother humming bird to cover the out
side of her nest, in order to conceal it
as much as possible. In Iceland the
lichen called Iceland moss is gathered
every year by the boys and girls. It is
boiled in milk and eaten. Fanny Ber-

Tspringfield Republican,


A review of the now celebrated Drey-
fus case, which is agitating France,
shows that it has all the elements
necessary to excite the popular i'm
agination and possibly make trouble
for the French government. Stated
briefly. Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, n French
army officer of Hebrew extraction, was
ourt-martialed late In 1894 for reveal
ing French military secrets to the Ger
man government, and, BEING found
guilty, he was disgraced before the
army and sentenced to penal seivitude
for life on Devils island, off the coast
of French Guiana.
The only positive evidnece against
Dreyfus was an unsigned memorials
dun addressed to no one, stating
various military secrets. which was al
legged to have been found by u French
spy in a waste paper basket at the
German embassy. The hand writing
OF the memorandum and that OF
Dreyfus We're claimed TO be the same
but inasmuch as In the court-martial
