William A. Eddy at Bayonne, N.
j., recently made some interesting
tests with kite, his object being to
make an electrical test of a snow
storm. A six-foot single plane kite
was used, and it was attached to a
steel wire. The brush discharge could
be plainly heard followed by one.
inch spark. The electrical activity
with the kite at so moderate an alti-
tude was the greatest that had ever
been experienced, the effect being
about the same as if a thunderstorm
had been near.

1t has usually been assumed that
the atoms of which all matter consists
are indivisible, but Professor j. J.
Thomson, of the Royal Society of
Great Britain, thinks that he has
found evidence of the divisibility Of
atoms. Experiments with cathode
rays indicate, he says, that the stream
of electrified particles projected from
the negative plate consists of corpus
cles torn from the atoms composing
the electrode, and not of the whole
Rtoms themselves. These eorpusclss
are very small portions Of the atou
from which they come.

KYNsLEY,

There's a mighty curious Teller who Is
livin' out our way,
He never seems as anxious as the rest to
have his say.
He listens to an argument as quiet as kin
An never makes an effort to break in an
referee.
An once upon a time-us folks is talkin'
bout 1t yet
We asked him his opinion SOS to help de-
eide bet.
It vas on a general topic that excited high
and low.
This Teller thought minute. Then he said
he didn't know.
We'd heard a lot o. people who had strug-
gIed TO explain
Each query. 1t 'ud give you palpitation of
the brain 0
To hear the way they figured. An their
words were Of such length
That tryin' to remember them was jes a
waste of strength
But the wisest of them never, with their
great display of wit,
Within my recollection made the memoir
able hit
That he scored when, latter thinkin' very
carefully an slow,
He faced the situation, an confessed he
didn't know.

Miss Lawrence? Armstrong had al

Billy's tent front, her ear inclined to his
prcsruding pate. He was saying some
thing that took time, and she showed no
inclination to hurry him. Miss Prime
looked back, then she and Schuyler ex-
changed significant smiles and glances.
There was rather a lingering hand
clasp before Amy started. Even then
she looked back at the boy and smiled. !.

studying his face the while. The let

March 1, '9S.
cit is six weeks since 1 repaid all your
loving kindness, brought shame and sor-
row to you and ruin to myself by desert
ing from West Point when my commission
was but a few short months away. In an
hour of intense misery, caused by girl
who had won my very soul, and whose
words and letters made me believe she
would become my wife the month of my
graduation, and who, as now believe, was
then engaged to the man she married in
January, 1 threw myself away. My one
thought was to find her, and God knows
what beyond
cit can never be undone. My career is
ended, and I can never look you in the face
again. At first thought should show the
letters, one by one, to the man she mar
ried, and ask him what he thought of his
wife, but that is too low. I hold them be-
cause 1 have mad longing to see her
again and heap reproach upon her, but, if
I fail and should / feel at any time that
my end is near, I'm going to send them to
you to read-to see how 1 was .lured, and
then, if you can, to pity and forgive.

that she should return thither at once.
She determined to remain and gayly

no concern. She could readily find
quarters, and so she did. The regu-
lar garrison of the Preside was long
since afeld, but the families of most
of its officers still remained there, while
the houses of two or three, completely
furnished SO far as army furnishings go,
were there in charge of the post quar-
termaster. From being the temporary
guests of some old friends, Mrs. Frank
and her pretty companion suddenly
opened housekeeping in one of these
vacated homes, and all her witchery
was called into play to make it the
most popular resort of the younger ele-
ment at the post. Money she might
lack, but no woman could eclipse her
in the dazzle of her dainty toilets. The
Presidio was practically at her feet be-
fore she had been established 4s hours.

Women might whisper and frown, but
for the present, at least, she had the
men at her beck and call. Morn, noon

gallop over the breezy heights where
the brigade or regimental drills were
going on, the afternoons to calls. where

himself arrived from camp, generally
late in the evening, looking worn and
