Her art has not improved with years

She appeared to divide her attention be-

words, how she looked was Of some consC-

HOW TO AVOID LIGHTNING.
Some Valuable Advice as to What to ID,
In storm.

Some Valuable Advice as to What to DO
In a Storm.
"What should we do when caught in a
thunderstorm
Campbell Swinton says lightning is
most apt to strike projecting objects-for
example, a tree. On that principle you
ought to keep clear of trees, jrst as you
would keep clear of a hayrick. Similarly,
If you are in fat space--talle farmers
feld-you should make yourself as little
an objective as possible. If everything
shout is level, you yourself become the pro-
jectiye point which may attract the light
ming. Therefore lie down flat on the
ground, or, even better get into hole.
"A person who took shelter in a hole, "
Campbell Swinton continued, would be
abs autely safe, / should think. Even if
the lightning were 10 strike the ground
near by its power would scatter SO much
that he would hardly be likely to come TO
harm. Then, If you arc in house while
a thunderstorm is raging, the safest shell
ter would be found in the cellar-that is,
far away from the objective parts of the
building. For myself / am rather skcp-
tical how many folks would care 10 crawl
into hole or plunge into a cellar. You
see, the risk TO life and limb in England
from lightning is very small indeed-so
small that the average man would run ii
rather than disturb himself" "
II suppose the idea which you have in
dicnted 70 me explains the damage that
factory chimncys and the chimncys of
dwelling houses occasionally sustain from
lightning?"
Just SO. They are points Of attraction.
Not only that, but there must be an addi-
tional attraction in the column Of warm
air which rises from a chimney when "A
fire is burning beneath it. l once saw
chimney struck by lightning, and smoke
had been issuing from it. There were
various neighboring chimneys, but SO far
as l could make out none OF them was
active. The incident occurred while / was
sitting in the Wellington club, and the
damaged chimney belonged TO IA house on
the otEcr side Of Grosyenor crescent. -

amusing and mucn talked about sketch
entitled "A Quiet Evening at Home,
during the progress OF which Miss Ben
nett assumes five distinct characters and
plays them with great skill. This sketch
made quite sensation in New York
when this actress forsooK the regular
stage for..vaudeville and since her depart
ure from the metropolis the little farce
has been received most cordially where
eyer IL has been presented.
1.-The concluding part OF the agreeable
entertainment consists OF a fine oxhibi-
ton OF moving pictures on screen oc-
cupyiDg the whole front OF the stage. The
animated photographs ares shown through
the latest machine styled the Biograpb,
n contrivance which is regarded as u
much improved Cinematograph. The
views are especially pleasing and effective
and there are lot OF them.
The view OF the apnroach of the rail-

rem were sensations in their realistic
effect The same bill will I've presented

THE TARIFF BILL
A Sugar Bounty Amendment
 Presented
AND THEN WITHDRAWN.
The Final Vote Likely to Be Taken Early Next Week in
 the Senate.

WASHINGTON, July 3. When the
 Senate met today there was llttleevi =
 dence that the close of long and srdu-
 ous tariff debate WAS near at hand with she possibility of final vote later inthe day. The chaplsin's prayer referred to
 the anniversary of the nations birth
 and the profound significance of that
 event in the civilization of the world.
 A resolution was agreed to calling on
 the Secretary of the Interior for the
 names and political sftiliation of the
 pension examiners recently dismissed.
 Gallinger, of New Hampshire, secured
 an emeudment extending the inquiry to those dismissed from March 1895 to July of the same year. The tariff bill was
 then taken up and Allison presented bhree new amendments, one of which provided for 8 bounty of one- fourth of a cent per pound on beet sugar made from beets grown in the United States sas, expressed surprise that on the day which he hoped would be the last of the tatiff debate the committee should bring in such @ far reaching amend menb. Allison explained that the amendment was precise reproduction of the bounty clause of 1890 except that it was confined to beet sugar. The amendment went over temporarily.
 The best sugar amendment was with drawn by Senator Allison and though renewed by Senator Allen of Nebraska. it will not be adopted.
 The Senate this evening concluded the first reading of the tariff bill sd- sections and all the House sections, prohi biting the entry ot all conviet-msde goods, was agreed to and many others of administrative provi- sions restored to the bill.
 WASHINGTON, July 6.-Withous any preliminary business the Senate to- day proceeded to the consideration of the ter'ff bill, after Bacon had made l 2 personal explaoation of his vote of yesterday for Mills amendment. Bate, of Tennessee took the floor and deliv- cred 8 set speech against the bill.
 WASHINGTON, July 6.-After She sugar bounty amendment had been taken up | In the Senate today, Allen charged that | the Republicans, in offsrinR the beet | sugar amendment, were simply bluffing | and that 1t intmsted to the Democrats | that if properly frightened by threats | of delay shey would probably surrender.
 WASHINGTON, July 6.-Pettus' amend nent to the tariff bill to prohibit the sugar trust from importing sugar was lost in she Senate by vote of 26 to 33.
