The Mine Target For Jove's Thunderbolts
Whenever Storm Occurred.
"The best paying and most valuable
irr+ mine in North Carolina, said one
ol the biologists of the geological sur
vey, "was discovered by lightning. 10
came about in this way: A gentleman
who owned large farm picked oat one
of the prettiest cliffs or small hills on it
as the site for residence. 1t was very
nicely situated, sloping from all sides
and besides had a fine spring Of water
very near it. The water was first tested
and proved to be nearly pure, though it
had trace Of iron in it, not enough,
however, to interfere to any great ex-
tent with it's taste. There were four
large and finely shaped trees ON tho hill,
the locations of which were such that
the house was built among them, tree
being at each corner Of the house. The
first storm that came up after the house
was occupied WAS severe one, and the
lightning seemed to linger around there
in preference to spreading through the
valley. The following storm was equal
ly familiar, and at Its conclusion the
Large gum tree, tho largest and hand

having been struck by lightning In
less than year the other trees met
with the same fate, and when they were
gone the lightning destroyed the barns,
cornhouses. tobacco houses and other
outbuildings. So far, however, the resi-
dehce was not struck, but the owner
moved out and deserted 1t. In one
month afterward the corner of the house
was knocked off during storm.
"The fatalities connected with the
house, coupled with the prominence of
its owner, were made the subject of an
article in the local paper. This found
its way into Pittsburg and other pa

IA prospoctor who Is now one Of
the owners Of the iron mine happened

from the first that there were reasons
why the lightning played such havoc
with that particular property, and that
bed Of iron thereabouts was the at.
traction. Without making public his
reasons he began negotiations for the
purchase of tho hill and surrounding
land, and no was able to secure tho
same for about his own price. In less
than six weeks he located the iron and
examined to some extent It's quantity,
which he found to be enormous. Then
he capitalized the investment in Pitts
burg and elsewhere, and in less than a
year he had an iron'mine in full opera
ton. It paid from the first day. The
hill on which the residence was located
turned out to be, after ten feet of the
dirt was removed therefrom, mass of
iron.
"Tho whole cost Of the outfit, in
Guiding tho cost of the land, was not
over $45, 900, and over $3.50, 900 worth
of iron has been sent from there every
year since, with no telling how long
the supply will continue. This is not
the only instance in iron mining where
lightning identified the mine. Tho sur
prising thing to me is that the residence
stood as long as it did, with such an at
traction for lightning Immediately un-
der it. "-Washington Star.

The Earth's Shape Changing.

Some Of tho questions supposed from
the textbooks of the grammar schools
to DO settled are still open for discussion
and attracting the keenest attention of
some of the worlds greatest students.
That the form Of the earth is that of an
obIaee spheroid or sphere lightly flat
tened at the poles was such a settled
question Is commonly believed, when,
IN fact the scientists are entertaining
the hypothesis that the earth is grad
ually verging toward the tetrahedron-
a solid bounded by four triangles, or a
triangular pyramid-with the apex at
the south pole and the continents repre-
senting the bullying out from the spher-
ical surface.
OF course the earth is not get far out
of its spherical form If the tetrahedral
theory be proved, but certain facts make
the hypothesis an interesting one. The
earth in its cooling. according to the
theory, Is causing collapse Of its on
velope, or crust, and, while the sphere
is that geoinetrical body which las the
greatest volume for a given surface
and the tetrahedron the least, the
shrinkage Of the interior. would tend to
throw the superficial envelope, grown
too large by the shrin1zago of the in
terror, into a tetrahedral form.
In October series of experiments
under tho direction of tho International
Geodetio association will DO under
taken, and in this country the coast and
geodetic survey will have charge of
America S share of the work. From the
observations made it will be possible to
derive some fresher conclusions as to
the shape of the earth, the movement
of the poles and kindred objects. --Bos-

through which the stream shot with
great velocity. The water WAS dashed
to foam. and on each side were cliffs
rising hundreds Of feet. For at least
two miles the adventures darted on

rapids, ending in 10 foot fall.
When Pope came to the top Of the

he succeeded in reaching ledge on the
right bank. 1t was only wide enough
for foothold and about five feet long.
All that night and the next day and
the next Pope walked up and down his

stamping his feet to keep his blood in
circulation. About noon of the third
day he was debating whether 1t would
not be better to plunge into the stream
to certain death than to starve where

filtered through the rocks above.
Just above him he saw clump of

climbed from rock to rock until he
reached a point 100 feet above the

SO that he could get better foothold
Upon reaching the top he was COM

hours before he could go on.
The next day he reached Valdes and

In ono corner of the room stone door,
which swings on large steel hinges,
opens into another room, about ten feet
below the first, which, when examined,
was found to contain hundreds of hui
man skeletons. This was supposed to be
a vault for the disposition of the dead

scend with the aid of Il rope, is another

AN OBSOLETE ISSUE.

The Republican party of Utah en-
dorses the Dingley bill. When that
measure was put upon its final pas
sage the only representative of Utah
Republicans voted against it. Is 1T
upon this record that Republicans are
asking for the support of protectionists
in this campaign?
When the Dingley bill was under dis
cussion the only Republican spokesman
Utah had in the national congress de-
nounced the measure as fraud, "a
form of robbery" Is this the honest
opinion of our Republican friends in
regard to the cornerstone" of their
party?
Republicans have told us repeatedly
that tariff cannot help the country;
that there is no such thing as free
trade; that the restoration of silver is
the only thing that can help the
country now 1t hasn't been so very
long since the Republican organ print
ed the following editorial:
Every man should read the state
ment put out by Senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota. By that statement he
makes perfectly clear that by dropping
finances the points of difference be-
tween the two old parties do not
amount to anything sufficient to hold
the organizations together, except for
spoils. When he said, What is essen
tial to divide men into two great polit-
ical parties cannot be founded on the
question whether the duty on certain
articles shall be Al or As per cent HE
