such as Bulwer-Lytton has described in
his famous book. To make her case
plain to the layman, it is but necessary
to point out that in electricity unlike
charges attract each other, while SIM
ilarly charged bodies repel each other.
So it comes to pass that a piece of
bread or a rag, which this human
Leyden jar holds in her hand for some
time, becomes so charged with cleo
tricity Of the kind that pervades Bar
bara's body that it tears itself loose
and falls down upon the ground. This
paper states that Barbara combines
the elements of a thunderstorm in her
body. I will explain: When a storm
occurs the clouds overhead are full of
positive electricity, which attracts he
negative electricity in the earth. Thus
lightning is generated. On the days
when our experiments were conducted
the air in the neighborhood was over
charged with electricity-electricity of
another kind than hat ~pervading Bar
bara's system. Hence the violent con
cussions when the two disslmllar
charges collided. The fact that objects
fly toward Barbara is explained by the
principle that one electric body causes
others to be oppositely charged by
induction. That accomplished, the
positive and negative electric forces
attract each other and "go for each
other" But that does not explain why
these manifestations occur in a certain
locality and do not show in another
1t puzzled me greatly, but an investi-
cation of the scene of action explained
all. I found that the Hoffman home
stead is built on sandy ground, full O.
CLASSY ingredients, and therefore al
most a complete insulator, preventing
electric discharges from escaping.

A wedding day is always an inter-

nothing could be farther than n sort
of deception liable to upset the usua

AS to Hoffman and his wife, they are

different occasions during the past

that any evidence I might gather

the opposition it was sure of provok-

people in the neighborhood to assist

DANGER IN THE STAMP BOX
Why h Is Not Going to Give Him
One,

Why Is Not Going to Give Him
One.
A girl I know is betrothed to a young
officer in the navy, and as his birthday
is near at hand she has bought a pretty
little stamp box in silver to give to
him, but she is not going to give it t.
him, after all, says the Washington
Post. Daughter" her father said to
her, eff you wish that young man we'll,
never give him a stamp box. You
couldn't give him anything more dan
gerous. A man would better carry dy-
Mantle than stamps. One of the BRAY
est officers in the navy has been for
twenty years paying the penalty of his
folly in carrying stamps. Everybody
knows who he is. Years ago he re-
ceived an order from the department
which displeased him very much. He
knew to whom he owed it, and he sat
himself down that same night and ex-
pressed himself frankly on paper to
the man he blamed for the obnoxious
order. He had a stamp, and sc he sent
the letter off in that nights mail. If
he hadn't had a stamp he would not
have mailed the letter till morning, and
if he had kept it till morning he'd never
have sent it at all, and he would not
have paid the penalty of 'sassing' the
department. Don't send the young
man a stamp box. The officer I've been
telling you about says that his expe-
rience taught him never to carry
stamps, but the trouble about the wis
dom experience brings is that it usu
ally comes too late to be of any use

her away. After this ceremony a pro-

DR.. Wolfram, a reputable physician
in Augsburg, Germany, claims to have
under his surveillance the most nota-
BILE and extraordinary example of an
electrical girl, embodying in her small
frame the elements Of a powerful mag
net and of a irst-class thunder
storm" The doctor says that medical
science never before had the good for
tune to take cogniZance of a case pre-
senting such marvellous phenomena,
but adds that, despite the apparently
unprecedented nature of the thing, all
can be satisfactorily explained. The
electrical girls name Is Barbara
Roschlau; she is IA years Of age, well
built and enjoys good health. She is
a servant in the employ of a well-to-do
farmer, George Hoffman, in Kupe,
Franconia; is thoroughly unsophisti-
Gated, unromantic, and unlearned in
the art of deception. The doctor lays
stress on the fact that his patient does
not incline to hysteria and that she
was a most unwilling witness, declar-
ing over and over again that 'it's moth
ing, and that the spell will pass off. y
Here are the doctors observations: On
July rs, say Wolfram, I happened to
call at the farm and was talking to
Mrs. Hoffman in the kitchen, when my
attention was attracted by a knife fly
ing through the air over Barbara's
head. The knife struck the floor close
to my foot. I was about to say some
thing on the habit of firing knives
about, when the woman began to cry
and Barbara ran from the room. Then
I was told that every once in a while
things like that happen in the house

The Is Almost as Lovely as



American pottery has few peers in
these days of Souwelsa and lockwood
and the pale, pearly, exquisitely tinted
glaze ware shown in such graceful de-
signs, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. The Souwelsa is first cou-
sin to lockwood, but a poor relation,
as it costs about half as much as do
the symphonies in polished greens and
browns. 1t has the same finish, the
same designs and tones, but seems to
lack the richness of lockwood, al
though the difference would not be per-
ceptible to the person perfectly sane
on the question of br~fc-a-brac. The
enthusiast can tell the difference in
the dark, she says. The pale-tinted
/ american pottery is highly polished
and the flowers of the decoration seem
to bloom m1stily through the glaze, like
flowers seen through a frosty window
pane. A high-shouldered jar of this
ware is softly shaded from palest blue
at the top, where it forms a back
ground for a graceful rose-hued iris,
the long, pale green stems of which
stand out delicately against the misty
gray below.

He crossed the room suddenly and

the flashing eyes.

other word he left the room.
The young officer strobe along the
echoing corridors with hasty steps. His
heart was hot within him and he was
ashamed to find tears in his eyes.
But when he reached the great
doorway he hesitated.
Once outside and he had left her be-

With a beating heart he pushed tn
