Saturday in honor of the visit OF the
Old Guard of New York was Osborn
hail. the college building at the corner
of Chapel and College street. 1t is said
that this is the first time that one OF the
Yale buildings has ever been decorated
for any public event in New Haven,
and the fact is looked upon by citizens
who have been heard to express opin-
ions upon it as evidence of closer rela-
tons between the city and the college
and as a step in line with the policy of
cementing those relations which mas
marked the administration of President
Hadley thus far.

The Walls of Pekin.

Writing on the city of Pekin, the Lon
don Engineer says that the walls of the
Tartar city are of an average height Of
90 feet, but portions of the north wall
reach the hight of 60 feet. Their average
width is abont 40 feet, but they have
been built so irregularly that in places a
width of 81 feet is found, in others a
width OF only % feet. The outer face of
the wall is perpendicular, while its inner
face slopes, in some places very consider
ably. Parapets are erected on both
inner and outer faces of the wall, that
on the latter being loopholes and cren-
elated. At intervals of about so or co
yards are large buttresses, every sixth
Jeing of much larger size than the others;
the smaller ones are about Is feet or
20 feet square. Part OF the inner brick
lining having fallen away from the north
wall, an opportunity was afforded of
observing its construction. Near the
gates the walls are occasionally faced
with stone, but in other parts by i'm
mense bricks which bear a strong resem-
bIance to stone. The space between the
taclngs is filled up by a solid foundation

surrounds the city. The concrete re-

Sly Joking in the Pulpit.

Before l went to college," said min.
lister of this city, II did supply work on
certain charge one summer. In the
Methodist church we had service morn
ing and evening. There was a Presbv-
terrain church in the village and the pas.
tor from another village supplied it,
preaching there once a Sunday in the
afternoon. l went to hear him one
afternoon. He was a college-bred man
and was supposed to be away up.
When he spied me in the congregation he
came down and asked me to assist in the
opening exercises. When we were seat
ed he asked me to read the first lesson
and at the same time announced that it
was a certain chapter in the Book of
Numbers. Just before l was to read
reached up to the desk and took down
the Bible and opened to the place.
glanced down over the chapter and saw
that it was a mass of unpronounceable
names. KNEW that he was working Joke
on me He. knew that could not get
away with thosenames. said nothing,
but when the time came stood up and
announced the chapter following and
read it.
when I sat down he gave me look
and he got one back. I whispered
hoarsely 1 guess not Those were the
only words spoken on the subject. -

Victims of Lightning.

The facts collected by the weather
bureau show that the loss of life by
lightning in this country last wear was
greater than in any year since statistics
began to be collected. Five hundred and
sixty-two persons were killed instantly
or suffered injuries from which death
soon resulted, and $40 persons were in
jured, many of them suffering from physi-
cal shock, Others from painful burns and
others from temporary paralysis of
some part of the body. The most COM
mon form OF injury resulting from light
nlng seems to be the paralysis of the
arms or legs.
In Prof. Henry's report on the casual
ties of the year he says there were some
remarkable escapes from death. In
some cases the clothing of the person
struck was set on fire and the body was
Scared or burned; however, complete
recovery followed. 1t is not easy to ex-
plain how these persons escaped death,
and there is still much uncertainty as to
the maximum voltage that can be APP
piled to the human body without fatal
result.
The greatest number of fatalities, or
rs per cent occurred in the open; the
next greatest number, 81 per cent, oc-
Cured in houses; II per cent occurred
under trees; and the least of all, per
cent, in barns.
A dozen persons, mostly women, were
killed either while taking clothes from
wire lines or while near the lines during
a thunder storm. 1t is we'll known that
in the cities many wire clothes lines are
extended between the dwellings and
trees or the back fence. Prof Henry
says that this is a scource of danger and
that wires should never connect a house
with neighboring house. If wire is
used at all, it should not be stretched
within fifty feet of a dwelling house.
Here are some precautions that are
recommended during thunder storms
Persons in a house should avoid Chin
neys and open windows. The safest
place is probably the middle of the room.
In the open, persons should never seek
the shelter Of trees. Wire fences and
live stock should be avoided. If on
it is wise to dismount and
wait until the storm passes away.
