FEAR OF LIGHTNING.
Much Mental Suffering Is Needlessly.
Undergone by Nervous


The keen suffering which many un-
sdergo just in advance of or during
thunder storm is Of a dual nature. The
sense Of impending danger alarms and
territies but there is also depression
of spirits which is physical and real,
brought about by some as yetunknown
relation between the nervous system
and conditions of air pressure, humid
ity and purity. The suffering due to de-
preston and partial exhaustion re-
quires, from those who are strong,
sympathy rather than ridicule. The
suffering due to alarm and fright, how
ever, is unnecessary. Tt is largely the
work of the imagination. To a nerv-
Gus nature there is something appall-
ing in the wicked, spiteful CLEAN of the
lightning, and the crash and tumult of
thunder. But such one should re-
member that the flash is almost always
far distant, and that thunder can do no
more damage than the low notes OF
church organ Counting all the deaths
from all the storms during year, we
find that the chance of being killed by
lightning is less than one in a hundred
thousand. The risk in the city may be
said to be five times less than in the
country: Dwellers in city houses may
be startled by peals of thunder, but
owing to the great spread of tinroofng
and fair ground connections, there's
very little danger. In the country, if
buildings are adequately protected, and
the momentum of the flash provided
for, the occupants may feelsecure. A
good conductor well grounded is nee
essary in all isolated and exposed build,
ings. Barns, especially when lined
with green crops, should have good
lightning conductors. The question is
often asked: ''Do trees protect?" The
answer is that the degree of protection
will vary with the character of the tree
and its distance from a watercourse.
An oak is more liable to lightning
stroke than a beach. The character, of
the wood, the area of LEAKAGE, the ex-
tent and depth of root, will determine
the liability to stroke. Another ques-
ton which is often asked is whether
there is danger aboard a large steam
contrary, there, are few safer places.
Sufficient metal with proper superficial
area is interposed in the path of the
lightning, and it's electrical energy con-
verified into harmless heat and rapidly
dissipated. Accidents occur chiefly be-
cause the victims ignorantly place
themselves in the line of greatest
strain, and thus form part of the path of
discharge. For this reason, it is not
wise to stand under trees, near flag
poles, or masts, in doorways, on
porches, close to freplaces, or near
barns. Those who are not exposed in
any of these ways may feel reasonably
safe. It should be remembered, in the
event of accident, that lightning does
not always kill. It more often results
in suspended animation than in somatic
death. Therefore, in case of accident,
try to restore animation, keep the body
warm, and send for physician without
delay. McCabe, in Century.

TORPEDoES WITHOUT WIRES.
How the Deadly Explosives Are to BE
Steered by Means of
!. Electric Waves.

Contemporaneous with the sitting of
the international peace conference
comes the announcement of new in
vention by which torpedoes are to be
rendered more deadly in modern war
fare then heretofore.
The invention, due to Walter jamie
Son and John Trotter, consists in util-
izing the ethereal" or "Hertzian"
waves, which are the basis of wireless
telegraphy, as a means of steering and
controlling torpedoes on their deadly
missions.
The apparatus is made in several
forms, which differ principally in the
means by which the current INDUCED
by the waves is applied to the steering
mechanism. The best arrangement con-.
sists of a coil of iron wire, or ''solenoid,"
that becomes magnetic on receiving the
ethereal waves, and is thus rendered
capable of sucking into itself magnet,
the motion Of which brings about any
required change in the steering gear
of1the torpedo. z
The latter is fitted with two rods,
which project above the, water and
serve as Receivers. that is, means of
collecting the waves. Each of the rods
is in connection with coil Of the type
described, one on the right of the tor
pedo and one on the left, and, accord
ing as the right-hand or the left-hand
rod absorbs the waves, so the torpedo
is guided to the right or left.
The means adopted in using the APP
paratus is as follows: Suppose that the
torpedo is fired in the usual manner
and that its course is seen to swerve
fromits upper path. From the torpedo
boat electric waves are Immediately
dispatched by the processes used in
wireless telegraphy in such manner
that they only affect either the right
hand or left-hand coil controlling the
helm, which is thus turned in any re-
quired direction, and the original
course Of the torpedo reproduced.
When this is accomplished the cleo
trio waves are stopped and the helm
flies back to the midship position
Large models of the apparatus have
beenexperimented with, and it is said
that perfect success has been obtained
under all possible conditions. Since
the new method of guiding torpedoesis
greatly superior to the old, which made
use Of electric wires, it is evident that
the new invention will be an important
factor in future naval warfare.-Lon-
don Mail.

Music for Nervousness.

"Years Now Long Past"

in years now long past and gone
there were some great and wise
statesmen who were identified with
what was then known as the repub-
lican party. But at the present time
there is not single statesman in all
the land that is identified with the
gold cure organization calling itself
the republican party.-Huron Demo
crat.
This is one OF the comm onest o.
common complaints against repu BIZ
cans. We have seen it in print and
heard it upon the street corner for
years. There were some great men
connected with the republican party
in years now long past, but their
every act was streunously opposed
by this same democratic party or
people in one guise or another Just
as at present. Then, they would not
acknowledge for a moment nor in a
single instance that the republicans
were right. Now, however, after
early republican platforms We're
made laws, and history and expert
ence approves them, these old OPP
ponents are willing to admit there
were some wise republicans "in years
now long past" So it will be in the
future. Republican acts of today
will be approved wears hence, when
to criticise them would be folly. But
there is an amusing feature to this,
as we believe, partly insincere eX-
preston from democrats as to what
the republican party used to be. "
More than once we have lin late years
heard aged men say, apparently as
a sort of excuse for their present OPP.
position, that "the republican party
is not what it used to be; that it
was all right once; that Lincoln
Grant and some leaders were able,
honest men," etc. Suddenly asked
WHY he did not vote for these men,
the aged democrat would be entirely
at sea, and admit that he voted
against them. And this illustrates
the condition OF many democratic
minds; not all, but many. Forced
to admit that the republican party
has done some good, they seek to
counterfeit the effect OF such ack-
nowledgement by the statement that
it is no good now. And yet these
democrats and their ancestors OPP
posed republicanism as bitterly then
as now. Republication is as good
today as it ever was, and has as
many able advocates and party
leaders, but democrats will not ack-
nowledge it until it is years now
long past"
