denta1ly shot above the heart with target
rifle last night at his shooting gallery in

fective about the trigger and belongs to

Smoke and Lightning.
From the New York Times.

In certain parts of Australasia 1t is the
custom OF the natives to keep huge brush
piles ready TO ignite in case of a thunder
storm Columns of smoke. they believe,
will ward off thunder bolts. Many travel
ers have regarded this as mere supersti-
ton, as the burning Of the piles Is accom-
panied with barbaric ceremonies. The
travellers may be mistaken, for certain
scientists look upon smoke as a most ex-
eeilent paratonnerre; they say it attracts
and disperses the electric currents If one
stops to think, it will be recalled that while
We certainly hear of churches, flag poles.
stagings and other high structures being
struck by lightning, we seldom hear of the
heavy smoke producing foundries or mills
or factories with tall chimneys being
struck. Nevertheless. the tall chimneys
all have lightning rods which are not as
useful perhaps as they seem. If the custom
of the Australasians be founded In prac-
ucal knowledge Of the power of smoke to
disperse the electric fluid, they may have
higher civilized past than we moderns
have any idea Of.

ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS.
Return of Mr.. Ezra w. Mathers From
kOOtenaY Gold Eields.

kootenay Gold Fields.
Mr.. Ezra w. Mathers of this place has
returned from British Columbia, where the
company with which he is connected has
been engaged in looking after the prelimi-
nary work of building branch line of the
Canadian Pacific railroad through the Koo-
tenay gold and mineral country. This
work is now going on. 1t Is calculated it
will shorten the present devious way of
reaching the centers of this valuable re-
gion by about 300 miles.
The line is to be about 1O5 miles long ex-
tending from Robson to Midway. Mr..
Mathers regards this region as the best
one known for quartz mining. He has
sent a man to the Klondike country sup
piled with provisions for two years and
with every facility for making an investi-
cation as to how wealthy the place really
is. If the report of this man should be IA
vorable there is no doubt that Mr. Mathers
will go there. His business has carried
MIN into many mining regions in Canada,
Mexico and the United States, but. though
he has constantly been on the watch for
a good thing in the mining line for him
SELF he has not thus far succeeded in find
ing II, though he can relate many instances
OF men falling into fortunes by sheer
BLIND luck.
Street Lighting PrOmised
a
improvement which has been the subject
of much petitioning to the District Com
missioners for long time is about to be
undertaken in the lighting of Minnesota
avenue. 1t is said that a police report as
to the advisability of placing lamps along
this avenue has been requested by the AL
thorities, and SO many reasons have been
brought out in the past as to why the
nights should be installed that 1t is said
there can be no doubt that the report will
be strongly favorable to the PROMISED i'm
proyement. ~
