GOVERNMENT AND SCIENCE.

After the Schley expedition congress
appropriated money for presents, which
were taken by All officer of the navy
across Siberia to be delivered to the
persons who had been kind to Gen.
Greedy and his men in their hour of
need, but with that the government
washed it's hands Of polar expeditions,
and the excursions of Peary have been
made without direct government aid.
Congress does make fool of itself now
and then. 1t appropriated money for
the rainmaking experiments eight years
ago. Before that it spent many thou
sands of dollars for a hole in the
ground which was to be a tunnel be-
tween the capitol and the government
printing office. Some persons have an
idea that the government ought to en-
courage all scientific research with lib
eral appropriations. One of these is
Prof. Langley, of the Smithsonian, who
wants $4,000 for his visionary flying
machines. But if the government is
to support science, why should it not
subsidize music and art? Some per-
sons will tell you that music and art
are as valuable in the work of civiliza
ton as science is.
Of all the abuses which have grown
up and been suppressed from time to
time in the last century one of the
worst was the granting of leaves of
absence to navy officers who wanted to
engage in private business. Just four
years ago this month Secretary Her.
bert took this matter up and reformed
the general practice of the department,
though he did not succeed in overcom-
ing the Peary pull Mr.. Herbert found
that Commander Folger, who was then
at the head of the bureau of ordnance,
had got leave Of absence for two years
on the ground of ill-health and was
working for the owners of the Harvey
process for hardening armor plates.
He was even calling at the navy de-
partment in the interest of his outside
employers. Lieutenant Commander
Swift had been on leave since August,
1890, in the private employ of a Phila-
dephia concern which sold great
many supplies to the navy. Lieutenant
Commander Symonds and Chief Eng1-
neer Robinson were on leave doing prl-
vate work at the worlds fair.
Lieut.. Commander Cornwell had
been on leave and drawing two-thirds

AN ELECTRICAL STORM
At Point Pleasant, Does Considerable Dam
age and Causes Alarm.


Special to the Register.
Point Pleasant, w. Va, August 20
One Of the seYereSt electrical disturb
ances ever known here, occurred TINS
afternoon at about o'clock. During
the day the rain had descended freely,
ACCOMPANIED by thunder storm,
which gradually came closer and closer
over the city. At the hour mentioned,
after a few minor Conclusions, there
was an explosion like the discharge
OF a cannon, followed by quite a tus-
SHADE. like the cracking OF a score OF
muskets, and Main street seemed alive
with electricity, which shot across the
street in veritaDle balls OF fire.
A house occupied by Mrs. Shiyley
was struck and rent in all directions.
Every corner of the building, which is
q tWO-StOry frame, was torn away and
some OF the debris was lifted OF and
carried a distance Of several yards
and deposited on the roofs OF adjacent
buildings. The windows were shat
tered, the roof damaged, the pictures
thrown down from the walls ana final
" the place was set on fire, but the
speedy arrival Of the firemel effectu-
ally prevented the spread of the flames.
Mrs Shiveley, who was confined to her
BED with sickness, was severely shock
ed and the effect upon her already
shattered constitution cannot yet be
known.
The lightning appears first to have
struck a telephone post diagonally OPP
posite from the house which it enter
ed at the nearest corner, thence spread
ing through the building and making
its exit into the ground down the
opposite corner, which was totally de-
molished. Then the fluid passed across
the street and struck a coiored man
named Alex Peck, who was sitting in
IA chair IN d mouse opposite, seriously
injuring him. Twelve or thirteen other
people in the vicinity were more or
less affected by the force Of the cur
rent.
The principal discharge lasted for
fully five minutes, all that time in con-
tinuOuS play, followed for an hour or
more by minor electrical activity.
During the time the storm was spend
ing its fury, the city was in a condition
OF considerable alarm.

Sistersville, w. Va, August 23.-At
least a half dozen wells should have
reached the pay dirt since Saturday,
but owing to the burning of the
Ankrom pump station, full account
of which appeared in the Register at
the time. the Eureka Pipe Line
Company. have requested the producers
to shut down all the work they posi-
bly, can until they can replace the
pumping station. This matter is a
very serious one at present, for 1t will
be some time before new pump sta
ton can be erected and there is nothing
to do but drill TO the top Of the pay
and then stop proceedings or furnish
your own tankage and take care OF
your production until the pipe line
people can take it off their hands.
The scene around the freight station
and oil we'll supply houses this morn

were no less than 81 teams loaded in

These gentlemen have leased and pur-

the sinking of other test wells. May
you succeed, gentlemen, is the ardent

open up a vast amount Of undeveloped
territory believed by many to be an
extension Of the Burning Springs pool.

1t has fallen to Thomas B. Reed to
render vital assistance to three presi.
dents in the execution of their policies.
In the whole history of the government
there is no other service which paral.
lels this. As speaker Of the 51st Con-
gress, with its close majority, Mr..
Reed prevented a free coinage bill
from reaching President Harrison,
much to the latter's satisfaction, after
the Senate had committed itself. As
the leader Of the republicans OF the
House, Mr.. Reed, enabled President
Cleveland to carry out his earnest de-
sire to repeal the Sherman silver-pur-
chasing act. And more recently the
power of this individuality has enabled
President Mckinley to delay the belli-
gerency resolution until he can formu-
late fully his Cuban policy. Three
administrations Mr.. Reed has put un.
der deep obligations to him, while at
the same time carrying out his own
views Of what the public veal demand
