ABOUT LIGHTNING HOLES.
How the Diameter of n Lightning Flash Is
Measured.

How the Dinmeter of n Lightning Flash Is
Measured.
saDjd Won ever see the diameter of a
1tpbtninp flash measured 2" asked a ge-
%oiogist. according to Pearson's Week
ly. We'll, here is the case which C
inclosed n flash of lightning, httng 1t
exactly, so that you can see just how
big 1t was. This Is called n fulgur1te,'
or .lightning-hole.' and the material 1t
is made of is glass. l will tell you how
1t was manufactured, though 1t only
took a fraction of a second to turn 1t
out.
when a bolt of lightning strikes a
bed of sand 1t plunges downward into
the sand a distance less or greater.
transforming simultaneously into glass
the silica in the material through
which 1t passes. Thus, by its great
heat, II forms n glass tube OF precisely
its w size. Now and then such a
tube, known as ~'fulgurite,' is found n
dug up. Fulgurites have been followed
into the sand by excavation for near
ly thirty feet. They vary in interior
diameter from the size of n quill to
three inches or more, according to the
bore of the flash.
But fulgurites are not alone pro-
duced in sand; they are found also In
solid rock, though very naturally of
slight depth. and frequently existing
as n mere thin, CLASSY coating on the
surface. Such fulgurites occur III as
tonishing abundance oil the summit OF
Little Ararat in Armenia. The rock Is
soft and so porus that blocks a foot
long can be obtained and perforated
in all directions by little tubes filled
with bottle-green glass formed from
the fused rock. There is n small speci-
men in the National Museum which
has the appearance of having been
bored by the teredo and the holes made
by the worm subsequently filled with
glass.
Some wonderful fulgurites were
found by Humboldt on the high Neva-
da de Toluca, in Mexico. Masses of
the rock were covered with "A thin lay
er of green glass. Its peculiar SHIN
mer in the sun led Humboldt to ascend
the precipitous peak at the risk of his
life"

LIES pathus and humor are often
commingled. and the contrast is not al
ways so violent as to pain or shock by
its inconEruity. One OF the rules of the
New York Floating hospital prohibits
the giving OF food to ailing infants
that is not prescribed by the attending
physician. As the vessel neared the
city after n recent trip seward, a
watchful nurse came suddenly upon
two small girls and their baby brother.
A frightened. furtiye hiding Of some-
thing in a paper bag awakened her sus-
picion. She investigated, and found
that the children had been attempting
TO feed the baby with fragments of lob
ster and cucumber. Stern questioning
brought "A fearful confession from the
frightened children. Baby's too rapid
convalescence threatened to deprive
them of further delightful outings in
the hospital, II to prevent this they
concluded to give him a convenient re-
lapse. But" said fhe Mortified nurse.
baby might have dicdl' "Oh, no,
miss" was the eager reply, we know
ed he wouldn't die. Deed we did. miss
all our family is so strong in their
insides."

Russian policy in China has been
viewed with considerable d%istrust, in
its bearing upon the commercial inter-
ests of other powers. a recent decree
OF the tsar. however, goes far to re-
Iieve the fear that Russia would insist
on exclusive privileges. The tsar. ad-
dressing the Russian minister of
finance. directs that the important part
of Ta-lien-wan shall be open to the
ommerc of all nations as long as the
treaty with China holds, which is for
80 years.

longs in the list of those who have
given their lives to save others. The
boy was playing in the street with his
younger brother and sister one day
last month. when a runaway team of
horses. attached to a heavy wagon,
came around the corner, Rudolph was
near the curbing and might have saved
himself, but instead he ran out. drew
his little sister one side. then darted
right in front Of the horses. in an effort
to save his brother. Both wheels
passed over him. and he lived but
two hours. the only words he spoke
being the question. Did baby and

MESSENGER BOYS STRIKE
They Made Things About Town
Lively Enough for Time.
STRIKE OFF AT MIDNIGHT
The Boys Turned In Calls From All
Over tho City and Then Licked the
New Messengers Who Re-
sponded.

Not to be outdone by Boston and New
York, Butte had messenger boys
strike yesterday. 1t went into effect
yesterday afternoon about 4:3O o'clock
in the office of the World Messenger
company, and from that time until late
a night the strikers succeeded in max
ing things exceedingly interesting for
their employers and for the police by
sending in messenger calls and then
licking the messenger who responded.
The trouble arose out of the dis
charge of Russell Vetters, one of the
boys on the force, for d!sobedience to
the rules of the Office. When young
Vetters got his walking papers, all the
other boys in the office at once got to-
gether and after a consultation inform
ed r. j. Boiler, who is in charge dur
ing the temporary absence of Manager
Haupt, that he must reinstate Netters
or they would strike Boiler told the
boys they were at liberty to quit If they
saw fit. but that he would not take Vet
tiers back. The entire force of Is boys
put on their coats and walked out.
The fun soon commenced. Boiler
sent out word that messenger boys
We're wanted, and in 20 minutes had a
small army of young fellows standing
around waiting to be given a trial. The
strikers were bent on carrying their
point and were not very particular
what means 1t became necessary to
employ. First they laid in wait for the
new boys to come out, and if they could
not talk one out of working he got
thras hed-unless he was too big. Sew
eral fights occurred which created con-
siderable excitement in Main street, and
one brutal assault grew out of the mat
ter. A striker tackled one of the new
boys and Chris Oldholm interceded for
the new boy He was quickly knocked
down and pretty badly beaten up by a
SympathiZer with the strikers who was
in the crowd that had gathered. Old
holm's assailant got away without his
identity being learned.
Later in the evening the strikers or
ganized to give the company as much
annoyance as possible. Distributing
themselves about town they turned in
calls for messengers and kept the new
boys jumping to answer the calls and
then keep from being thrashed. This re-
suited in warrants being issued from
the police court for the arrest of John
Driscol and Jake Brown, two of the
strikers
About midnight an agreement was
reached between the company and the
| strikers which terminated the strike
and the boys went back to work.

McC. White said that If It were possible
for him to do so he would certainly move

company. Adopted.
The clerk prepared a list of text books
needed in the district. There are about
mtted to the text book committee and
approved. The list includes readers,
arithmetics. Biographies, histories gram
mars and spoilers. The committee rec
commended the purchase of these books
and the report was adopted.

verbally that he had attended the meet

ton. and that fully 5000 teachers attend

Bills amounting to SGT .OS were read and
ordered paid. These included the salaries
for the operating force of the district.
Miss Manning. the assistant clerk was
upon the recommendation of Mr. Moul-
throp. assented to by the entire board
granted two-weeks' vacation with full
pay. Clerk Richards stated that he would
wait until next summer for his vacation.
1t was agreed that the second Monday
in September be the date of opening the
schools for the fall term. Mr.. OBren
the architect, in this connection. in reply
to a question stated that he did not think
the Atlantic school building would be
ready for occupancy before Oct. /.
Bids for painting the Washington
school house were read az follows:
Schatzlein Paint company, $500; Graves
Paint company, $40, walls; g. cents per
square for roof; George j. Davis company.
s34s; Carder Bros. 1924; Joseph Lally, $40;
II. R. Lovett & Co, roof. $l45 The bids
called for but one coat of paint. The
Graves company offered to put on two
coats for s1l9 extra. Joseph Lally offered
to put on two coats of metallic paint. The
bids were all rejected and the clerk was
ordered to re-advertise for two coats all
around. The bidders will be required to
make their tenders conform to the speci-
tications in the call for bids. The bids
must be in by o'clock next Tuesday
night. Mr.. Nee. White suggested that
the school buildings ought to be insured
in amounts nearer their actual value. in
stead of carrying insurance so much less
than the value of the property. Either in
sure them for their value or do away
with insurance altogether. This led up
to the motion to refer the whole matter
to the finance committee, which car
ried.-r
Clerk Richards reported that the taking
of the school census began yesterday The
district is divided into 10 districts. Small
alterations will be made on the sub-divi-
sions, and of this the census taker Mr.
Audley, will be notified.
After a talk on desks the meeting ad-
iourned.
