Protection for Lightning.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
The means universally employed to
protect the machinery of electric and
power plants give assurance of the eff
fectiveness of Franklin's lightning-rod.
An easy or short path to the earth is
provided for the electric discharges that
come in on the lines during thunder
storm. Telegraph, telephone and cable
circuits have their lightning conductors
for protecting the delicate apparatus
used in connection with them. Every
electric car carries with 1T a lightning
arrpster" another name for a short cut
to ground.
Without such protection costly dyna-
mos would be ruined during thunder
storms. The high pressure lightning
discharge would pierce their insulation
and lead to inevitable destruction. Very
severe loss has often been caused by
neglect to provide the simple safeguard
of an arrester. In one instance eight
electric cars had their motors burned
out by single flash during storm.
lightning rod on a house or other
building, if put up in a proper way,
protects from danger, as do the arrest
ers mentioned above. Projecting parts,
such as chimneys or gable ends, should
have iron rods projecting above them
two or three feet with rods or strips
of iron or copper extending from them
to the ground.
The ground connection is especially i'm
portant. The lower end of the rod or
strip may be buried in a trench so deep
as to reach earth that is always moist
The trench may be partly filled around
the rod with gas coke, iron scrap or
metal cuttings. The ground end may
also be connected with the metal pipes
of water supply.
Some buildings contain in their roofs
so much metal that is well connected
to the ground by pipes, that rods on
the chimneys and leading to the roof
are sufficient. A rod with a poor earth
connection may be more a source Of
danger than a protection. The damage
occurring as a result of bad work has
with some people undeservedly discred-
tied the rod itself.
In an unprotected building, to sit UNI

Influence Of the White Bear Is Again in

Tacoma, Wash, April 16.--Japanese
advices by steamer Genogle state that
the cabinet crisis in Seoul, accentuated
by the transportation of two minis
tiers for terms of 10 and Is years, re-
spectively, was evidently a reaction
against the abnormal tranquility which
had prevailed in that curious city since
last autumn, when the Independence

female attendant, Nine. ON, is the
chief source of disturbance nowadays.
She has begun to think it time that
she was settled in life, and many peo-
pie indorse her view, for with sover-

great enough to make her favor worth

course, gets the credit of being mixed

NYear Belts for the Throat.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The latest foundation for the popu-
lar stock collar is fitted with a finely
tempered steel spring, which clasps the
neck closely and holds the stock in
place without any trouble. 1t does not
bind the neck, as it is very light and
yields to each movement, and, although
it looks firm and snug, 1t does not
choke.
The light spring, tapping little at
the back somewhat like a key ring or
bracelet, can be bought and covered
at home, and can be recovered many
times, as the steel never wears out.
A metal stock which does not require
to be covered. but is intended as an ar
ticle of jewelry, is quite a fad now.
These stocks or collars are very much
like a dog collar or belt. They are
made in a great variety of form and
pattern-plain jeweled, silver and gold.
Some are arranged in medallions, with
a circle of chains between and intend
ed to be worn over some bright ribbon
or chiffon stock, while others are Of
solid metal and fastened with buttons
and eyelets, with slides, hooks and eyes,
regular belt buckles, of jewelry clasps
of the old-fashioned styles. One seen
lately was simply a broad band of plain
silver. clasping the throat snugly and
tanning over slightly, but with no ap-
parent fastening.
These throat belts are made to
match waist belts and can be had in
any patteIn in sets to order.
Belt buckles, from being very tiny,
have suddenly jumped to the opposite
extreme They cover the entire front
mart of the waist, extending around
nearly under the arms in some cases,

The Buffalo Fair.

Buffalo is to have $780, 600 for her fair
from her Uncle Sam. and 100000 from
the state of New York. Uncle Sam,
having constitutional or other scruples
about giving his money outright, is to
have the spending of it himself, but 1t
is all to go into the fair in the form of
a government exhibit. The $500, coo sub
scribed by the state neither satisfies
Buffalo's craving nor affects her hopes
of getting more. She welcomes it as
good beginning, and trusts that the

HOW SHE PAID SOCIAL DEBTS.

Washington Women.
From the Washington Post.

United States Gunboat Navigating the
Great River.
From the Philadelphia inquirer.
Commander Todd of the gunboat
Wilmington, now or lately crulZlng IN
Venezuelan waters, has been assigned
a job that ought to be almost as inter-
esting as fighting. He has been direct
ed to go up the Amazon as far as the
Wilmington can go, and take notice of
what he finds there. 1t is said that no
United States vessel has ever navigated
the Amazon above Mananos, which is
$50 miles up stream. The Wilmington
draws eight feet ten inches, and 1t is
thought that she can go 1000 or 1000
miles farther The Upper Amazon is
not absolutely unexplored, but infer
nation about the district traversed and
the folks who live along its borders
is vague, scarce and unreliable Mon
keys, orchids and gay birds come from
that region, also bicycle tires and over
shoes.
1t may be that what put it into the
governments head to send Commander
Todd up the Amazon was that it had
been reading the report, recently is
sued. of the international railroad COM
mission, which has been busy for 10
years past in investigating the feast
bility and probable cost of railroad
from New York to Buenos Ayres. the
distance is 10000 miles, of which nearly
5000 is covered by railroads already
built The commission has spent near
ly 100000 in its researches, of which
the United States provided s245,0O0,
Brazil $4,000 and the other South
American republics the rest. 1t first
met in Washington in December, 1890
when it organized three survey par
ties---one under Capt. E! q. Steever to
survey south from Mexico; one under
William F. Skunk to survey north from
Quito, and one under j. Imbrie Miller
to survey south from Quito to Lake
Titacaca, in Bolivia. The surveys were
finished about three years ago. NOW
the results have been worked out and
the report sumptuously published. The
verdict is that the road is perfectly
feasible and that the roadbed for the
main line, including masonry, grading
and bridges (but not rails) would cost
about SITS. 900, 600 The most expensive
| and difficult section of the proposed line
would be in Columbia, Ecuador and
Peru, where the road skirts the Andes
| for $500 miles at an estimated cost OF
| 1925 900 000

Four Notes in a Canary's Song.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In the song of a canary four notes
are recognized by dealers, and they
can tell by listening to it for few min
utes whether the bird be German or
American. They are the water note,
which is a ripping, gurgling, attract
i've bit Of warbling, like the murmur
of a rill: a flute note, clear and ring
ing; the Whistling note, of the same
class, but much finer, and the rolling
note, which is continuous melody
rising and falling only to rise again.
1t is in the last named note that
the American birds fail. They cannot
hold it. Another difference between the
two is that the German canaries are
night singers-they will sing until the
light is eXtinguished. But the Ameri-
can birds put their heads under their
wings with the darkness.

PLAYING SILENT BALL,
A Funny Game That Is Played With a
Toy Balloon.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
This game is very much more anus
ing than one might think from it's name,
and all that is necessary to play it is an
air balloon and a yard or two Of white
tape. Let an even number of children
(any number from two to 12) range
themselves in straight lines on either
side of piece of tape which is stretched
across the floor to form a dividing line
between them. Sach row of children
should be about three PAGES from the
dividing line, so that there may be
six PAGES between sides; the players
should be about an arms length apart.
The balloon is hit up into the air, and
the aim of the players must be not to
let it fall on the ground. 1t must be hit
only with the back of the hand; the
players left hands should be placed be-
hind them. Any one who shouts or even
speaks must pay a forfeit. as also must
any one who moves from his or her po-
sition. Should the air ball fail 1t counts
one against the party standing on the
side of the tape on which it rests.
Whichever side loses 20 first has lost
the game, the other having won it.
1t is q mistake to suppose this game
for only the little ones; even SroWn-ups
have been known to find it great sport,
and the paying of forfeits adds not a
little to the fun.

ed in America.
From the Arena.
We often hear that a person has lost
SO much money. that his house has
been entered, that he has lost lot of
silver, or that bank has been broken
into and a great sum of money stolen,
and, for a moment that makes an i'm
preston. But that is nothing: those
little losses to society are nothing at
all compared to what it costs to keep
these people employed in this way. The
real loss is one which you can perfectly
we'll avoid, and it seems the strangest
thing in the world to me that we are
so patient under this infiiction. You
read now and then that such person
has been long watched, but he is not
apprehended
The reporters make a good deal out
of it and the papers are full of inter-
estng accounts of such distinguished
burglars and sneak thieves. The story
is sensational, but the man has been
before the public perhaps 80 or 40 years
and is perfectly well known, yet he is
not apprehended. If one is apprehend-
ed you know what happens then. He
is arrested, and, if you can find jury
that has never formed or expressed an
opinion, and is incapable of doing
either, he may be tried. The man is
defended by able counsel. All the safe
guards of the law are thrown about
him. If he is convicted under the gen.
eral laws he is sentenced for certain
term in the pententiary, where he is
now. under our humane system, very
nicely taken care of, and after he has
served three or four or five or six years,
he gets his release and goes out and
goes into his business again, and we
go through the same rounds paying
the bills all the while. You know per-
fectly we'll that we could better afford
to take all these people, who are, as I
say, limited in number and board them
for life at hotel at S. a day and make
money at it. That would be an
economic stroke for us.
