LOSSES BY LIGHTNING.
A Strange increase of Storm DAM
age to Farm Property.

Strange Increase of Storm DAM
age to Farm Property.
The annual report of the Chief OF the
Weather Bureau shows a remarkable in
crease in the loss of farm property by
lightning during the last few years. 1t is
a question, however. whether this is due
to the frequency Of thunderstorms or to
the more extended facilities for securing
information. At present the Weather Bu-
reau has correspondent in every corner
of every county of the country. who keeps
il posted concerning all events Of interest
to the farmers and the public generally.
while formerly It's system Of news-gather-
ing was imperfect and incomplete.
Nevertheless many of the correspondents
of the Weather Bureau hold that there has
been perceptible increase in the number
Of storms and extent Of the fatalities and
destruction by lightning. This view is
also held by insurance companies which
make specially Of taking risks against
storms and cyclones. For instance. the
Farmers Mutual Insurance Company, OF
Reddngton. n. j.. paid s24.3sS in losses by
lightning during the six years from 1882 TO
1887. During the corresponding six years
of the next decade, from 1892 to 1897. it
paid s62 1873. The FIRE insurance companies
OF Michigan paid SIS losses from lightning.
amounting to s37 .5S3. in 1895. and in 1896
they had 1.509 casss Of lightning stroke.
amounting to s153.si1. Similar informa-
tion comes from the other States and
shows a remarkable increase in the num-
Der of storms and the extent of destruction.
In order to determine this question the
Weather Bureau has undertaken to collect
complete and accurate information through
its own representatives, with the co-opera-
tion o. insurance associations and other
persons.
The tables OF the Weather Bureau show
the following number Of deaths by light
ming and by storms in the years 1890 to

.Dt.appointed Authors, Club -

(From the Philadelphia Record.)
A club which promises to be a very
strong organization was founded some
weeks ago in Philadelphia. 1t is to be
known as "The Disappointed Authors
Club" and is composed of only such per-
sons as can produce large numbers Of tat
tered, thumb marked unsold manuscripts.
Under no circumstances would success
full author be permitted to join. AS soon
as a member begins to sell his stories he
will be regarded with disfavor by the club.
All rejected manuscripts are to be read
by the writer's before the club. and at the
conclusion Of the reading the literary
judgment and the character Of the editor
who returned them are to be assailed.
One of the resolutions passed by the club
is as follows: Resolved, That all the in
genuity we possess shall be directed to-
ward making wretched the lives Of afore-
said editors. Poems bordering upon the
risque, poems upon spring. falling leaves
The evening times., 1899-05-31

and drunkards' homes shall be systemati
cally submitted to magazines in good
standing as best calculated to annoy and
exasperate." 1t is intended to call special
sessions of the club for the purpose Of de-
nouncing the abominatiOn known as hon
est toll"
The young man who was considered the
most eligible person for president has i'm
poverished himself buying stamps. He can
repeat the printed note of the various pub
fishing houses accompanying rejected man
uscripts by heart. He knows several edi-
tors by sight. and has singing adjectives
which he applies to them under his breath
as they pass. He knows to the exact hour
when the manuscript is due. Once when
a manuscript was kept a week over the
usual time he wrote and demonstrated. and
secured it back by special messenger. He
is eminently suited for the place.
There is a man soon coming from Boston,
however, who is equally eligible for presi-
dent. He once wrote story so atrocious
that the editor to whom 1t was submitted
wrote him he would have him arrested for
numbering the English language II he ever
