Trees Attract Lightning.

An isolated tree offers mostdanger-
Gus attraction to lightning. In woods
the peril is diminished because the
electricity is scattered. Trees with
roots deep in humid soil are more apt
to be struck than those in drier spots.
Trees in damp places are always con-
ductors of electricity. Lightning pre-
fers oaks and rarely touches beeches.
Resistance to electrical discharges
varies according to the proportion of
oily matter contained in the wood. The
poplar possesses but little greasy sub
stance and is a good conductor. 1t is
dangerous to those who trust it for
shelter, but if planted not nearer than
ten meters from dwelling proves to
be good lightning rod. If certain pop
lars are easily struck by electric fluid. It
Is because their roots are in damp soil
An isolated trees should be avoided dur
ing thunderstorm.

INT1MAT1oN NOT ULT1MATUM.

The correspondence with Spain has
ELECTED some facts that the peppery
monarchy over on the Mediterranean
| can ponder at her leisure. 1t has
she will understand the immense sac
rifices that this government has made
in order to preserve good faith, and
to what extent her revenue and naval
service has been drawn on to prevent
filibustering. This country has with
drawn her revenue vessels from the
ports of Newberne, Mobile and
Charleston for more than two years.
putting them in the detective service
of Spain against the remonstrances of
these cities and to the detriment of
the service. The absence of these
vessels has opened the gates to unlim-
tied smuggling and the United States
revenue is the loser. In addition to
this patrol of the revenue cutters sew
eral ships of the regular navy have
been constantly kept in service on the
Florida coast for the purpose Of guard
ing the coast Of Cuba from filibusters.
Spain Is reminded that this police
duty for her benefit cannot be always
maintained, and that II the United
States should at any time withdraw it
the independence of Cuba would fol-
low in short time. Spain has put
on her thinking cap and is coming to
the conclusion that if it had not been
for the good office of the United States
the result might even now be decided
against her. The administration of
Mckinley has really interposed for the
benefit Of Spain for two years and re-
ceived only curses from the Spanish
press on account of it. This will soon
end, for the active Intervention of the
revenue and battle ships of the United
States as police for Spain will not
much longer continue. This is the
kind of representation that the Unit
ed States is making to Spain. There
is no ultimatum about it, only an in
timation that the United States has
done duty police for Spain as long as
the law allows.

Tammany has done herself some
credit in refusing to stand in, on or be-
side the Chicago free silver platform
in running her campaign for the con-
troll Of Greater New York. Bryan's
plea for the platform falls to the
ground. In refusing the Chicago
platform the Tammanyites have run
foul of Henry George and now he is
likely to enter the lists as the candi-
date of the free silver wing of the
Democracy. There is a good deal Of
uncertainty in that Gotham business
and the result win be looked for with
no little anxiety. All parties are split
into factions.

There is nothing to be said concern
ing the situation in the states that are
under the embargo of yellow fever
quarantine, save that they show NO
symptoms of any epidemic conditions.
There is to all appearance no need of
preventing traffic, within proper safe
guards, or of holding up freights to the
discomfort Of trade and the blockad-
ing of the lines of communication. If
there is a disposition on the part of
any port or station to tie up freights
to further their own selfish ends, then
that port or station should be boycott
ted into decency. The freights landed
in Algiers direct from New York
should have come through to this city
without being held there for weeks to
no good end. Common sense is needed
in quarantine as in all things else.

If Nicaragua has given a concession
to British capital for the navigation
of the San Juan river that is going to
interfere with the work of the canal
people, then sthere must be an over
hauling of that concession. Nicaragua
has gone too far in her concessions to
this government in that matter of
canal to throw them overheard at this
late day. The probabilities are that
the exclusive navigation of the San
Juan river referred to is subject to
the canal concession. At all events
the United States will investigate be-
fore going further into that canal con-
struction.
