Natural Lightning-R Rods.

The tall Lombardy poplar has a rep
utation in some parts of Europe as a
kind Of natural lightnlng-rod, lnyes-
legations recently made by Doctor Hess
In Switzerland appear to confirm this
reputation of the tree. It's wood Is an
unusually good conductor Of electricity
as compared with others, while It's
great height and lack Of spreading
branches enable II to conduct light
ming stroke straight downward In Or
der, however, that a poplar-tree may
serve to protect q building according
to Doctor Hess, It's foliage should be
allowed to grow as near the ground as
posslble It should be removed not
less than six or seven feet from the
nearest wall, No metallic objects on
tho building should be near the tree,
and its roots should penetrate u moist
soil.

TO that immense array Of thinking
~bayonets" which opened the eyes OF
the world to the real power OF tho
American republic.
Tho center OF the capitol building,
with an unsightly excuse for a dome
had long been completed and occupied;
but the beautiful marble wings for the
senate and house Of representatives ex-
listed merely on the paper plans of the
architect. A great civil war was in
progress when President Lincoln cleo
trifed the country by expressing the
desire that "the capitol should be COM
pleted at once, giving the whole world
the spectacle Of a nation fighting a sue
cessful fight with rebellion and at the
same time setting the seal on it's sue
cess by fixing the emblem of liberty ON
the pinnacle of It's capitol"
The wish OF the president vas graft
fed, and congress made liberal annual
appropriations for the purpose. IL
1864 the building was completed, the
magnificent dome was crowned with
the Goddess Of Liberty and the two
houses of congress took possession Of
their new legislative halls.

Wentworth learned from his comrades

Granite hills, fresh in military harness
and eager for the fray. Continuing the
route usually followed by the incoming
soldiers, the regiment, about 1880 p. M,
arrived at the farther or Virginia end
Of the old Aqueduct bridge. and en-
camped for the night on the sloping
hills lying between Fort Corcorau and
the Potomac, the venerable pile OF
Georgetown college showing its twink
ling lights directly opposite as dark
ness fell.
Through the exigencies of the serv-
fee, and under orders from the military
authorities in Washington. the regi-
ment remained in camp during all the
month of July and we'll into August,
finally being assigned to the corps COM
manded by Brig. Gen. Rosecrans.
Harvey B. Wentworth was hardly 81
at the date of his enlistment, and had
been born and reared not far from the
town of Suncook; AMI up to the out
break of the rebellion had worked there
with his father aud one brother, after
the name of New England farmer
boys, attending school during the win
ter, but acquiring his education as
much from tina newspapers and maga-
zines as from the textbooks of the
district school. In this way young

average and on enliSting a q private

papers, and her fine eyes alight with
eagerness.
"Mr. Alleyne-you are so kind-rm
sure you won't refuse to help mel"
This appeal was uttered with a trem-
uloRs confidence which some men would
nave found extremely engaging. Not
so the professor. He knew too well all
that such an appeal portended. Re-
luetantly he made room for the new
conner on the bench beside him, and
looked ruefully at his pipe.
Il wanted to ask you-oh, please go
OF smoking! I like it. Your cousin
tells me you are writing a great book
on the peoples of northern Asia"
The professor could have groaned
aloud. Perfdious Laura! What even
this last secret delivered into the hands
of the enemy. Perhaps, he thought,
this very pushing young woman would
presently demand to see his unfinished
manuscripts.
Because, the pushing young woman
continued, ST am writing something on
that subject, too. oh, not a great
book, of course! Quite a small one"
Between his teeth the professor mutt
tered something about "an interesting
coincidence"
"And I thought, perhaps, you would
kindly help me with the spelling of the
proper names. You see, 1 know moth
ing of the dialects"
There was nothing for it but to ac-
cede to this exceedingly cool proposal.
Alleyne took the sheets and began to
run his eye over them, indicating an
error here and there. Suddenly, at the
bottom of a page, he stopped short.
THAT is a novel idea"
(which? Where?"
Here, on page 81. You suggest that

The approach of a servant with a
note for Miss Afleck caused the pro-
fessor's sentence to remain unfinished.
Maud, when she had glanced wei the
scrap of paper addressed to her, heaved
an impatient sigh.
Laura wants me to join her; I sup
pose I must go. There is nothing 1 hate

impossible for any young woman Of
Miss Afaeck's age to have more than the
most superficial acquaintance with such
a large subject. But a novice occasion
ally stumbles-by chance-on a solution
of some difficulty that has long been a
puzzle to experts"
"And that is what Maud has donel /
understand. Forgive me for laughing;
but, really, this is too funny"
81 do not see-to use your friend Mr..
Harding's favorite expression-where
the fun comes in, exactly, Laura. The
labor Of two years rendered vain by a
girls random guess, which it probably
took her a couple of mornings to elabor-
atel" muttered the poor professor, cast
ing dignity to the winds in his irrita-
ton.
Mrs. St. Julian heroically stifed her
amusement.
'There is only one thing for it, that I
can think of. You two must marry, and
and fuse your wandering books into
one"
Laura"
"Why not2 She is very pretty and
well-bred. Eventually she will come
into a good deal of money"
eff this is intended for a joke, Laura
the professor interposed, severely, Tex
cuse me for saying that it is an ex-
tremely bad one"
Il never was more serious in my
lifei" his cousin protested. ut would
be an admirable arrangement. Do think
about it'll"
But this the professor Indignantly
declined to do.
By the end of the week Alleyne had
serious thoughts of going back to Ok
ford. He made up his mind to this step
on Monday morning CHR. Harding hav-
ing shown himself peculiarly inane, and
Miss Af1eck more than ordinarily toll
Grant of his inanity on the preceding
Sunday, as he smoked his after-break-
fast pipe in the shrubbcry. And he had
no sooner done so than a sudden wind
ing of the shrubbery path brought him
plump upon Miss Afleck, seated upon
a rustic bench. She had a writing
board on her knee and a pencil in her
hand.
"The book?" inquired the professor,
with a sickly smile.
She nodded. my poor little bookl.-
