Lightning Kept the House Vacant.

Not far from Hodgenville stands an
old house which has a wonderful power
for the attraction of lightning. 1t is
in an unused tield, surrounded by shrub
berry and underground. 1t is only the
frame of once costly dwelling, and
has been standing there for 40 years
Strange as it may seem, it has been
struck by lightning every time an cleo
trical storm has visited that section.
The house was erected by a well-to-do
farmer years ago, and was intended for
a dwelling for his family, but had to
be deserted on account of it's habitual
subjection to lightning. 1t has never
since been occupied. During thunder
storm one perpetual flash of lightning
plays about the old house. On dark
night, and during storm, a more beau
tiful scene could not be found. The
whole sky and earth around the old
house is brightly illuminated by the
lightning. The house has been torn
away, strip by strip, with each bolt OF
lightning, until now only small por-
ton is left standing. So far as is known
no fatalities have ever occurred in the
house.-Louisville Post.

LOST TREASURE.
ArEOnaut Built to Recover Money
and Jewels Lost in Ships.

Another attempt is to be made to
recover the millions in specie. bullion
and precious stones which have been
lost along the coast of this and other
countries in foundered ships. The
means to be used is a. submarine boat
built for the purpose and fitted with
wheels for running Oh the bottom, as
well as with Il propeller for navigating
the surface. The inventor of this YES
sci, which was launched the other day
at Baltimore and chris tened ArgOnaut,
is Mr.. Simon Lake, of Baltimore. The
plan is to run the boat along the bot
tom until the wreck is reached, and
then send out men in divers armor,
who will be supplied with air from the
reservoirs on the Argonaut. The ad-
vantage over the old method is that the
depth of water will be no factor and
work cannot be interrupted by storms.
The vessel is Sc feet long by nine feet in
diameter. She is built of steel and
ribbed very strongly to withstand the
pressure of water at great depths.
Electricity is her propulsive, operating
and guiding force. Mr.. Lake says he
has the bearings of several vessels sunk
on the New Jersey coast which are said
to have on board S15,000,000 in specie
and bullion. Probably the first vessel
that will be examined, says the invent
or, will be the New Era, which sank off
Asbury Park i'm 1852. She lies in about
45 feet of water. The Argonaut will
be given a trial trip in Chesapeake bay
in a few days.--N. Y. World

ALMOST A MILLION A MILE.
A Costly Washington Railroad That
Is Il Curiosity.


Is Il Curiosity.
Skamania county, Wash, has a rail-
road that is a curiosity. 1t is less than
four miles long, but is said ITO have cost
s3,0O0,OOO. tits the oldportage road from
the Upper to the Lower Cascades, and
was built by the old Oregon Steam
Navigation company, and is now the
property Of that company's successor,
the O. r. & N. There was a time when
the road did an immense business, car
rying all the products of the inland EN-
pi1e to tidewater. all the freight des-
tined for The mines of Idaho, eastern
Oregon and the vast region east of the
Cascades.
The days of it's glory have departed,
and to-day it is scarcely more than two
streaks of rust and a right of way. Its
sole use now is to carry the salmon
from the fisheries along the rapids to
the Lower Cascades, from which point
they are shipped to Warrendale, so the
road really runs only with the run OF
fish. Mr.. Jones, who has been employed
on the road since it was first built, has
entire control of it. He is superintend-
ent, engineer, conductor, brakeman.
fireman, section foreman and section
c-ew-the Alpha and Omega and all the
balance Of the alphabet. Mr.. Jones has
grown gray in the service of the COM
pany, yet every day he gets out the
solitary engine, gets up steam, and
makes the round trip over the road. The
engine has gotten wheezy, and to get
up steam fire has to be built in the
smoliestack 0 get up I draught.
Recently the railroad commissioners
made a trip over the road. and to do
honor to the occasion Mr.. Jones got out
the "directors' car the one solitary
passenger coach. 1t had been used for
long time as a storehouse for chicken
feed. and occasionally the chickens had
used it as sleeper; but Jones oiled the
hencoop up and gave the commissioners
ride over the road. He is good-na-
tured, happy and contented, and thor
oughly enjoys his unique position as
whole railroad company.-Dalles Chron-

BETRAYED BY A BELL.
A Horse Car Episode With a Heartrend
ing Sequel.

ing Sequel.
There was u young woman with mu-
steal ear sitting in n corner of the cable
Car. Several times she looked up with Gu
rious surprise as the conductor rang the
bell to register fares, The bell did not al
ways sound the same. Sometimes it had a
dull, clanking tone, and every now and
then it came out sharp and clear several
notes higher in the scale. She was de-
mure little creature, with blond frizzes, and
she became SO interested in the variations
played on the bell that she quite neglected
the paper covered novel which lay in her
lap-a novel which she was evidently not
reading for the first time for she had open
ed it at random and when she had dropped
it to listen to the bell she never troubled
herself to find the place.
But in the course of time she reached
more interesting portion of the work.
There were things that she apparently de-
sired to remember, for she took lead PEN
Gil from a small bag and began to mark
passages here and there.
The old gentleman with white side
whiskers who sat opposite her hoped that
it was proper book for q young woman to
read, and the angular woman, who was
somewhat flurried, owing to an unsuccess-
full effort to pass an out of date soda water
ticket for car fare, was sure that it wasn't.
She rode almost to the end of tho line.
just before the car finally stopped she took
out notebook. The conductor happened
to come to the front of the car, and he
glanced at what she wrote 1t was the
number of his car.
AS she walked toward the railway office
| he opened the door that looked out on the
front platform and said to the motorman:
cts all up, Jim. l told you somebody
would notice the difference in the sound
of those two bells. Somebody was bound
to wonder about it and discover that you
weren't ringing up all the fares in the right
/ place"
The conductors face was very pale, and
his mouth was drawn at the corners. 1t
was one of the everyday tragedies of life
poverty, temptation, discovery and regret
| that came tho late.
