A certain youth employed in one of
the Gardiner stores was the object of
much good-natured sarca am a day or
so recently, on the down trip of one
of the steamboats, to the islands. He
is fairly tall and considerably slender.
On the occasion he wore proper
straw hat and a suit of blue serge, in
addition to other garments and articles
of clothing which go to make up cor
rect attire for the modern youth.
On the same boat were two damsels
of more or less fairness, who We're re-

that he had a pretty good opening
there, so ambled over to where they

ONE THUNDERCLAP CENTURY.
There Are Some Places Where Thun-
derstOrms Are Vuknnxxu

There Are Some Places Where Thun-
derstorms Are Unknown.
In Finland, East Turkestan, Iceland,
Nova Zembla, the north part of Siberia,
as well as all places in the extreme
north, a clap of thunder is an unknown
occurrence; while Peru has only one, or,
at most, two, thunderstorms in a CEN
tury, its thunderstorm of 1877 having
been the only one since 1903.
Some parts of France. on the other
hand, appear to be the most thundery
places on the earth's surface, as. ac-
cording to the president of the French
Meteorological society, in six or seven
months of 1892 as many as 32S were
counted.
The director of the observatory at
Odessa, who has closely studied the
question, states that there is a zone of
electric activity of great intensity on
both sides of the equator, which is also
the zone of the greatest rainfall. This
zone he divides into three sections, the
first embracing Asia and Oceanica,
Guinea. The yearly thunderstorms over
that zone average from 90 to 100.
The second zone starts from the west
coast of Africa between latitudes and
10 degrees north and Is and 5 degrees
south, while the third zone comprises
the tropical regions Of America, where
the mean annual number of thunder
storms exceeds 100.
To the north of this zone, which is
termed the electric equator, the storms
decrease in number till the deserts of
Africa, Egypt. Persia and central Asia
are reached, where the rainfall is scanty
and thunderstorns rare.

OLD SHAKERS SPECIALITY.
He Has a Trio of Attributes Which
Make Him unl0ue.

He Has a Trio of Attributes Which
Make Him Unique.
Logan county boasts of one of the
unique characters in Kentucky in the
person of Lorenzo Pearcifeld, who
since childhood has been an honored
member of the Shaker community at
South Union, says the Louisville Cour-
ierJournal. Mr.. Pearcifield is now close
on to 70 years of age and weighs about
800 pounds.
There is not another man in Logan or
any other county, SO far as is known,
who is 70 years old and weighs 800
pounds, who is noted as the most sue
cnssful horse breaker in his section.
Yet this is true of the colossal old
Shaker. The secret of his success in
this direction seems to lie in his great
courage and strength. He is absolute
ly fearless and almost as strong as an
ordinary horse. He has a system all
his own, which consists in first demon
strating to the perfect satisfaction of
tie horse that he is master Of the situ-
alton. To do this it is sometimes neces-
sery to throw the horse down and sit
upon his head, which Mr.. Pearcifield
does in the most approved style. After
300 pounds has sat upon his horseship's
head for little while he is satisfied.
Mr.. Pearcifield then bitches him to his
little cant and drives about and looks
at the country. So great is his fame as
tanner of wild horses that the farmers
for miles around bring him unman-
ageable horses to break, and none has
ba filed his skill and strength.
