ABOUT LIGHTNING HOLES.
How the Diameter of "a Lightning Flash IL
Measured.


How the Diameter of a Lightning Flash IL
Measured.
"Did YOU ever see the diameter OF a
lightning flash measuredT' asked ge-
ologist, according to Pearson's Week
ly. "Well, here is the case which once
inclosed n flash of lightning, lifting II
exactly, so that you can see just now
big 1t was. This Is called Il fulgurite,
or lightning-hole,' and the material 1t
is made of is glass. will tell you now
1t was manufactured, though 1t only
took fraction of n second to turn II
out.
"Whcn bolt OF lightning strikes n
bed of sand it plunges downward into
the sand distance less or greater,
transforming simultaneously into glass
the silica in the material through
which 1t passes. Thus, by Its great
heat, 1t forms glass tube Of precisely
its own size. Now and then such n
tube, known as 'fulgurite,' is found ana
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 Quill -
three inches or more, according to the
bore of the flash.
But fulgurites are not alone prOr
duced in sand; they are found also in
solid rock. though very naturally Of
slight depth. and frequently existing
ms a mere thin, CLASSY coating on the
surface. Such fulgurites occur In as
tonishing abundance on the summit of
Little Ararat In Armenia. The rock is
soft and so pOrus that blocks 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 small speci-
men in the National Museum which
has the appearance Of having been
bored by the teredo and the holes made
by the WORN subsequently filed 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 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"

Tauric acid. new chemical dlscov-
cry, obtained from tauric moss-a lich-
en- or fungus. usually .ound upon rocks

country-has been found to possess
properties which will render 1t inval-

silver. steel. aluminium and lead. when
immersed in the acid, become pliable

1t presents for workers in metal

The general Introduction of women
into employment before held by men
has had the most far-reaching social
effects. 1t is not necessary. and would
not be appropriate here to enter into
consideration Of the question whether
the result of such general employment
OF women has been beneficial or the
reverse in its effects on society. What
ever conclusions may be reached on
that very comprehensive subject it is
quite plain that the employment OF
women in the business pursuits is des-
tined to be less. rather than more. gen.
eral in the future than it has been In
the immediate past.

For years and years almost innumer-
able writers. some OF them learned in
maritime matters, and others only In
terested in. such things. have been
preaching the necessity for intelligent
and united action, either by govern
ments or shipowncrs, to the end that
abandoned vessels may not be allowed
TO remain afloat in the ocean highways,
increasing materially the perils OF nav
igation and giving needless proof that
what is everybody's business is no.
body's. Lamentably little has been ac.
compllshed by all this exhortation and
its continuance seems dIscouragingly
like a waste OF energy. The issue is
n thoroughly live one. however, and
perhaps by constantly harping on IL
the vast number OF people whose lives
are often and whose property is con-
stantly menaeed by these derelicts may
at last be moved to enforce the rene
dying OF the present neglect OF a great
evil.

er and Said Good BY.
Bridgeport, March 7.-Frederick Man
Brockhaus, the young German upor
whom sentence of death was pronounc-
ed on March by Judge Wheeler for
the murder of David S. r. Lambert OF
Wilton, was taken before the court
again this morning and resentenced. IT
was discovered after the first sentence
that Judge Wheeler, who through SYM
pathy wanted to give the young man
all the time allowed by law, had unin-
tentionally added three days to it,
making the sentence illegal. The re-
sentence this morning was a matter of
form. The old one was vacated and
the prisoner condemned to die on Sep
TENDER g. the original date. This brings
it just within the time allotted by law.
Brockhaus appeared unusually pale
but seemed calm and self-possessed. He
had just been through a trying exper-
fence, that of saying farewell to his
broken-hearted mother.
