oGET INTO A HOLE.o
IfYOu are Afraid of Lightning Don't
Make Yourself Conspicuous.

From the London Chronicle,
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, just
as you would keep clear of a hayrck.
Similarly if you are in a fiat space
take farmers fleld--you should make
Yourself as little an object as possible.
If everything is level, you yourself be-
come the protective point which may
attract the lightning. Therefore, lie
down fiat on the ground, or, even bet
ter get into hole.
"a person who took shelter in a
hole" Campbell Swinton continued
"would be absolutely safe, / should
think Even If lightning were to
strike the ground nearby, it's power
would scatter so much that he would
hardly be likely to come to harm.
Then, If you are in a house while a
thunder storm is raging, the safest
shelter would be in the cellar-that is,
| far away from the objective parts of
the building. For myself, l am rather
slielttical how many folks would care
| to 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 aver
age man would run it rather than dis
turb himself"
| "I suppose the idea which you have
| indicated to me explains the damage
that factory chimneys and the CHM
neys of dwelling houses occasionally
sustain from lghtning?"
Just so. They are a point Of at
traction. Not only that, but there
must be an additional attraction in
the column of warm air which rises
from chimney when a fire is burning
beneath 1t. 1 once saw a chimney
struck by lightning. and smoke had
been issuing from 1t. There were va
rious neighboring chimneys, but 80 far
as ! could make out. none of them

while / was sitting in the Wellington
club, and the damaged chimney be-

AWKWARD SITUATION IN PARIS
One of Americas Independent Citi-
zens Rlles n Policcman--He Knew


All About 1t.
From the Cleveland Plafn-Dealer.
81 was in Paris a year ago." says
contributor land one day while pass
ing a certain thoroughfare I happened
to put my hand in my pocket and
draw forth some sort of handful. 1t
was of no earthly use to me, and,
doubling it over, 1 tore it in two pieces.
Doubling these together I tore again.
Then dropped the eight bits of paper
in the roadway.
"A moment later a man in uniform
came across the street and faced me.
l saw he was a policeman. He touch
ed his hat and then pointed to the lit
ter.
Monsieur he said, and ratified off
a lot of lingo that 1 couldn't under
stand. l mustered UP a few French
words for the purpose of finding out
what he meant. 1t was no use. He
pointed at the bits of paper again and
| jabbered away for dear life. He shrug-
ged his shoulders and patted his hands
| together and made 2, motion, as if div
| ing toward the litter:
II handed him my card, but he polite
| ly bowed and shook his head and re-
| fused it. Then l endeavored to pass
, him, but he firmly barred the way.
| about that time l caught on to
what he meant. He wanted me to pick
up the bits of paper / had Just thrown
down. A. first l thought l would re-
fuse, hut l didn't care to get into
trouble over a trifle, and the French
copper looked decidedly serious.
so 1 stopped over the curb and
picked up the eight bits of paper and
dropped them into my pocket. Where
upon the officer bowed and smiled and
passed along"

CURIOUS POCKET PIECE
Railroad Engineer Transforms Nick-
els Into Buttons.


From the Chicago Tribune.
A Union Pacific engineer has FASH
ion Of making unique pocket pieces for
his friends. He runs a passenger en-
gine west, and when oilng, previous
to a run, he drops a nickel five-cent
piece into the brass oil cup on the
crosshead of the piston rod. His run is
800 miles. When he reaches his destin-
alton he unscrews the top Of the oil
cup and takes the nickel out. 1t has
been metamorphosed into a curious lit
tie button with an evenly turned rim
within which, on one side is the coun7
tersunk head OF Liberty, divested Of
her stars, and on the other side of tne
V and the wreath. The edge of the
crown Is as perfect as if it had Oeen
pounded on an anvil by an expert sill
Yersmith.
The perfection of this is due to the
even vibration the coin has been SUBJ
jected to. The motion OF the pistol is
horizontal, and 1t travels forty-etght
inches, back and forth, with every rev.
| olution of the wheels. The interior Of
the oil cup is round, and the edges Of
the nickel as it travels Jack and forth
| in the oil striking the sdes or the cup,
are turned over and pounded into per-
| feet roundness. Sometime a nickel Is
left in the cup durirg the round trip,
or 600 miles. WhepI taken out it is a
nicket bullet, a perfect polished sphere
Who discovered tnis unique method OF
turning the edges Of nickel is not
| known, but MANI engineers know Of it,

THEBICYCLE NOSE.
From the British Medical Journal.

From the British Medical Journal.
AS considerable majority of the pa
tients who have lately consulted me for
nasal trouble have complained that the
sensation of obstruction has either COM
menced or considerably increased since
they have taken to the bicycle, the ques-
tion arises: Are we TO place this other
wise healthy and almost necessary mode
of lOcomotion among the causes of nasal
mischief? 1t is quite conceivable that the
quick rush through the air, inhaling large
quantities of dust on the country roads,
and all sorts and conditions of dirt on
the London ones, might cause consider
able irritation to the nasal mucous mem
brane.

AN INTOXICATED TRAMP
Made Things Hum For Awhile on west
 Fourth Avenue This Morning.

An intoxicated tie walker whose boots were too full of snakes to en- able him to tell his name, was quite bad" for awhile on West Fourth avenue this morning. He entered d prominent family residence in that vicinity and the lady of the house, seeing his lovely zig=zag position, refused him lunch. He began to deliver an impressive lecture and occasionally insert few words that mace quite stir in the neighbor- hood. The "Mattie Troupe was called and he was escorted to the calaboose.
 His trial will come up before Jus tice Garrett as soon as he recovers from that beautiful jag.

MutuaI Lie. ofKy.

We call the attention of our read- CTS to the ad in thIs issue for the Mu-I tual Life Insurance C)., Of Ky, w.. E. Craker special agent. Mir. Craker does not claim for his company thnt 1t affords any better protection than the old line companies. but he does contend that 1t is equally ns good. The Mutual Life of Ky. was organ ized in 1866. and It's admitted assets to liabilities are 109, just the same as the New York Life and many other old line companies. He claims. how ever, that he can prove by the high est insurance authority in the world that the Mutual Life, of Ky, has the lowest expense rate and receives the highest rate of interest on all it's in- yestments.
 The company's contracts are in- contestable after issue except for non-payment of premium, whichf fact should attract the attention of all whu value the worth of dollar. The total amount of insurance in force In the Mutual Life of Ky. on Dec. 3l, 1897, was $I2,320. .a49, with admitted assets to cover liabilities. as above stated, of l99 per ceIt.
 The above facts show the Mutual Life of Ky. to be as safe and solid ns any of the old line companies, while it possesses many advantages and attractive features not offered by the other old line companies.

COTTON RECEIPTS
Up To November Huh, Have Failen om s,603 Bales From Last
 Year.

The city scales in this city show a great falling off in the receipts of cotton as compared with last year.
 No. l, thelMain street scales. had received 4025 bales this time last year. Up to the same date this year they have received 39O0 bales being 125 bales less.
 The greatest falling off is at the Barraque street scales, Nov. 2. Up to November 11th, 1897, the re. ceipts were 6785 bales. At the same date this year the receipts are 3307, making falling off of BATS bales.
 There are several reasons for this. Last year we had 8 dry fall and the cotton matured early, and the farm- CTS were not delayed in picking by the rain. And another great ad- vantage was, that the price opened up better, inducing the farmers to rush their cotton to the market.
