Much tine mas been devoted to the
study of the effect of lightning on the
different species of trees. At different
times the subject has been discussed
by many men prominent in scientific
circles. But these studies and discus
sions have never resulted in much that
was practical.
This question of the effect of light
ming on trees has an interest for every
householder in a practical way, for he
may use trees as natural lightning con-
ductors if there is any assurance that
they will be effective. If certain classes
of trees will attract lightning a~5 so
draw it away from the house they are
good species to plant in the yards and
a good species to avoid during thun-
derstorm.
Through observation and experiment,

In that time IS people lost their. lives
by this cause, or an average of seven
for each million of population. In
diana shows the second highest death
rae from lightning, and the highest
ave-&ye to the million popula don. In
that STATE in three years ~ people lost
their lives by lightning, and the aver
age to the million population was IL.
Illinois and Iowa, seemingly with the
same meteorological conditions, show
q wife difference in the death rate from
this cause. In the three years Iowa had
SO people killed by lightning, or an
average of nine to the million of popu-
lation, and Illinois had 40 killed, or
only an average of four to the million
of population. The lowest death rate
for any number of states is shown in
New England, where the average to the
million of population is only two. Of
these states Vermont shows the larg-
est average, being five to the million.
OF the upper Mississippi valley states,
comprising Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan, the average death rate for
the last three years was so for each
safe. OF these Minnesota reports
"a deaths in the three years, Wis
consin 25 and Michigan Al, the
acreage to the million of population
being six in Minnesota and Wisconsin
ard seven in Michigan. Missouri re-
ports 10 deaths in the three years, or an
average to the million of five. OF the
gulf states Texas reports the largest
death list, it being CO in three years, or
an average of nine to the million.
The table given below, compiled by
the United States weather bureau,
shows the number of deaths in each
month OF each year between 1890 and
1898:

hOuSC,
precisely where they did at first. and
some of the fence lines to this day stray
gle out at drunken angles to remind
antiquaries of Lady Deborah's precau-
ton.
Beside the farms and the village the
most genuine relic OF old times of which
know there were the common lands
-sundry miles of worthless beach. TOO
much despised to be divided. Any
Gravesender was free to pasture his cat
tie there, that they might crop the
short grass, and to dig CLAIMS in the
sand.
This salt common, which was not
thought worth dividing, is the Coney Is
land of to-day, where loss of over a
million by fire is now bewailed. 1t is
worth more, probably, than all the rest
of what was the town of Gravesend and
is part of the very much Greater New
York. Although corrupt officials have
stolen or given away to favorites much
of this land, there has always been
enough left and leased to pay all the
school and police expenses of the town
and leave it practically tax free.
Ten years and more ago, before John
4hSIAohS heio S1CSlCo q PASSioSiS VI
the United States in a close election by
cofopized votes in Gravesend and be-
fore he had been sent to Jail for later
offense against the election laws, he
was the supervisor, chief of police and
general pooh-bah of the town and is
land.
He was by trade a carpenter and
builder and had practical monopoly
of building on the island He controlled
the vote of the police, the builders, the
jockeys at the race tracks; as the super
intendent of a Sunday school and man
of godly life-he neither drank. smoked
nor used bad language-he controlled
also the votes of the solid old citizen
ship of the town, which didn't care
much what John did, so long as there
were no taxes.
The election of one president depend
ed upon the vote of New York. The
state was so close that the colonszed
vote of Gravesend was enough to turn
the scale. McKane had cast that vote
against his party, with which he was
then at odds. He was taken back into
favor with great suddenness, and his
power seemed thereafter so absolute
that no one was more surprised than
himself when he had to go to Jail.

dating back to the later years of the last
century, it has been found that light
ming rarely strikes beech tree. Sci
entists have often been at variance as
to the reason for this, but the fact re-
mains that a beech tree is for some rea-
son practically proof against light
ming. On the other hand, the elm, the
chestnut, all species of the oak and
pine are often struck by lightning.
A series of observations taken in
Germany and covering a period of
eight years shows that in one large
forest in that time 159 oak trees
were struck by lightning. 81 beech trees.
20 pine trees, SO fir trees, birch trees,
1arch trees and ash tres.
Still these observations are open to the
criticism that the numbers of the diff
ferent species of trees were not evenly
divided, but it is notable fact that this
particular forest contained more oak
and beech trees than any other species
If, then, these observations show
nothing else, they do show that the oak

IT T is a safe statement to say that
more people, especially women and
IL children, are frightened by light
ming than by the thought of perishing
in fire, and yet there is only an average
of five people in each million of the pop
ulation killed by lightning in this coun-
try in each year. Compare that with
the fire mortality and the comparison
between the two would be so great that
there would be practically no compar-
ison at all.
This fear of lightning is greater in
the cities than in the country, and yet
1t has been conclusively shown that it
is the farmer or those engaged in out
door pursuits that are most liable to
meet death in this form. Indeed, COM
petent authority has shown that dan
ger from lightning strokes is reduced
to mere minimum in the large cities
and thickly populated districts.
During the past three years of the
different states in tie union Ohio shows
the largest death list from lightning.

of the French voile with pointed en-
broidery front to the bust, and the en-
broidery brought from the front to the
armholes in blouse effect to the waist

a third was a beautiful creation Of q
lowered China blue liberty silk. 1t was
lined with soft white silk, and the
skirt was fiounced and draped with val
liable old Mechlin lace. A round yoke
of the Mechlin lace with becoming
fullness of the China blue liberty silk
brought to the waistband. With a
crush belt of deeper blue velvet. and
standing collar of the same. a small
sleeve of the liberty silk.
Still another gown of heliotrope or
candle was trimmed with tiny ruchings
of the same over soft heliotrope China
silk. This gown has white taffeta rib
bon for a crush belt and stock collar.
Another gown of China silk was of
the popular color of rose de Berry with
an all-over lace combined. This lace
gown may mount several different
slips in either silk or satin, and it can
be made with round yoke, and so can
be either high or low necked forevening
or afternoon wear.
Many beautiful novelties in fans will
be seen with the beautiful gowns of

Among these gowns that viii make
the season is one of white swiss with
Valenciennes lace, and beading; with
yards and yards of narrow heliotrope
velvet ribbon. The clinging skirt is
made with row of Valenciennes inser-
ton running from the waist band to
within a foot of the bottom of the skirt,
then a narrow piece of the goods, and
then comes the beading with the hello
trope velvet ribbon running through,
and so on around the skirt. 1t is
finished around the bottom with
flounce of Valenciennes lace. This
flounce has a heading of the beading,
and also Nalenciennes insertion. a
rather full bodice of the white Swiss
with bolero of the white Swiss and
Nalenciennes insertion. The boleFo is
caught in front with large heliotrope
velvet bow, also q narrow velvet waist
line with bow of the heliotrope velvet.

is a seamless robe of fashionable French
wolfe. The skirt is handsomely en-
