IN A HALEY BALL ROOM.

Half an hour before she had been a
beautiful fairy, floating about the ball
room. Now her hair is flying, and many
trickling eddies of perspiratioH chased
each other around her crimson face and
shoulders. She puffs and blows as she
clings to her partner in the waltz, for
she comes from sea level and her wind
is short.
They had not spoken; something must
be said, and her partner lisped: II see
by your pants that the altitude affects
you"
"Sir!"
And then they danced again, but un-
til the waltz was over he imagined him
self in a cold storage room, though he
cut no more ice.

STUDIES IN LIGHTNING.
Intensity and Quantity as Shown by Re-
 cent Researohes-

Intensity and Quantity as Shown by Re-
 cent Researohes-
 According to the recent researches of Professor Trowbridge, the intensity and quantity of the electric current of lightning flash is prime factor in de- termining the particular character of the luminosity. He has been able to re- produce a great variety of forms of lightning, such as have been phot, graphed from time to time, by proper alterations in his apparatus Lightning generally Is divided into five main classes. The first class consists of mar row, thin, sharply defined. luminous lines, which may have crimson, violet or bluish colors. These lines may be either of curved or angular shape. The second class spreads over immense sur faces, is often of an intense reddish tinge and sometimes blue or violet. In England and America 1t Is spoken of as "heat lightning" but properly 1t is termed "sheet lightning" The third class includes the mysterious "globular, or ball lightning, which rolls about on the ground, and thus far has defied all attempts at satisfactory explanation. A fourth form of electric discharge is the continued emission of light from the surface of certain clouds, which dies away after few minutes, only to be renewed again after a short interval. The fifth class of lightning is that play ing between the earth and the cloud of ashes and vapor forming above a volcano in active eruption. Still another form of lightning discharge is the auroral light. which is modified by the rarity of the upper atmosphere from the flash to the stratified sheet lightning.

Forest Fires.

According to Dr. Bell, in The Scot tish Geographical Magazine. the forest fires of Canada are generally caused by lightning. In the great forest between Alaska and the strait of Belle Isle the portions recently burned are easily reoog- nized by the tenderer green of their foli- age from the parts which have been lon ger spared. The fire rushes along with the speed of a galloping horse. The branches and dead leaves on the ground burn like finder, and the flames rise to nearly 900 feet. Resinous pine woods burn fastest. One of them extended l60 miles in ten hours The traces of fire remain for nearly @ century. Birds and beasts are stifed or burned. Beavers and muskrats, which are amphibious, have 8 chance of saving their lives. After the fire few trunks of the largest trees are left. Next spring roots begin to sprout and seeds to grow. In l5 or 90 years the soil is covered with poplars, willows, etc, which shelter young frs and other trees. In 50 years the oonifers are uppermost, and in 100 the others are dying out beneath the pinewood. A third of the forest region of Alaska has trees 50 years old, another third trees of 50 to 100 years and the rest trees over 100 years old. The fire seems to suit the banksian pine, as 1t opens the pines and sets free the grains.

The Social Friday Evening.

The young men of Christ parish held social and sale of fancy articles last Thursday evening at Town Hall. If it had not been for the rain in the after noon the cream and fsnc, articles would have been sold on the church lawn which would have been much pleasant CT, but as it was everybody had royal good time in the Town Hall and there was nothing to deter them except the heat.
 The cream was served by six or eight young men who went from one direc- ton to another in great hurry in order to serve those who took cream and cake.
 At about 9.3O Miss Florence Thom- son and Augustus ". Nicoll with banjos and Messrs John Beckley with guitar and Albert Brainard with 8 mandolin, together with other ladies and gentle men started up some popular songs which were enthusiastically received by the people present. After they had sung two or three songs, the musicians started up several we'll known songs and invited the people to join in. They soon joined in and as several fine singers joined in some very fue singing WAS heard and everybody was entbused with the spirit of iollity and good fellowship that prevailed.
 After the singing, Mrs A. F. Rood started to play waltz on the piano and many couples were soon on the floor. Messrs Hardenbergh, Camp and Rhoades also played several numbers until the orchestra started in, Messrs Sly and Decker. Mir John Beckley prompted during the evening, and, just from his graduation at Prof Rivers Academy of New York, his square dances were we'll received and were right up to date.
 The children's table which was tend ed by four or five little ladies. did very finely as they took in about S10 of the $50 that was raised. The money con- tributed by the dancers amounted to SIP 50 and the rest was taken in for cream and from several people, who be- ing unable to attend, and in contribu- tions which were thankfully received.
 The whole entertainment reflects great credit upon the young men of the par ish, who did everything in their power to make the event pleasure to all who attended and the guests of the evening, several of them being from out of town agreed in saying that it was pleasant occasion.

Proud of the Capital.

The people of the country are fond of their capital More than the Washing tonians themselves. they have seen the wonderful progress of Washington, for by visits at intervals, some of them ex- tending over years they have met with some contrasts which tell the story to the spectator more thoroughly than con- stant living in the city could do In diff ferent parts of the country we have heard people discuss the growth of Washington with pride and relate the comparisons of their various visits The man who was there 10 or 90 years ago and who goes again this year takes a tale back home which he never tires of telling.
 And not only will Washington have no rival in the sense of competition. but it is destined to be beautiful beyond any other city or any other capital in the world What has been done Is simply an earnest of what is to come It will be the capital of society as well as poli- tics. Art and education will follow. and already it is fact that more learned and authoritative men can be gathered in an audience in that city than any where else in the country. In fact, Bal timore is glad to be so near Washington --Baltimore American.
