Detroit. Mich, July 29.-Reports
from all over Michigan from Free
Press correspondents indicate that the
severe electrical storm was widespread
and resultant of much damage. Al.
though no great damage was done in
any particular locality, in the aggre.
gate 1t will be enormous. Scores OF
barns filed with the product of the
harvest fields were struck by lightning
and dozens were burned to the ground
with contents. Two people were killed
and many private residences and
churches were struck by lightning.
Another storm is in progress.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 29.-Soaking
rains fell Friday night and Saturday
morning in eastern and central Kan
sas. At many points tits the first rain
of any consequence since the middle Of
April. Conditions favored continued
rain Saturday. The heaviest fall seems
to have been in western Missouri. In
Kansas City there was steady down.
fall for three hours.
Topeka, Kan. July 29.-The most ex-
tensive rainfall that Topeka and Shaw
nee county have experienced for year
fell for two hours Saturday morning,
beginning at five o'clock. The down
pour was almost in the nature of a
cloudburst, flooding the streets and
congesting the cutters. The atmos-
phere is considerably cooler with mer-
curry around so at nine o'clock.
The Santa Fe reports the RAIN ex-
tending 30 miles west on their system
and east to Kansas City. On the Rock
Island and Union Pacific systems, far.

the same. This ends the drought in
the sections mentioned for the present,
the rain refil.ing the streams and re-
storing pasturage. The rainfall was

rAyA produces practically all the
quinine in use, or, to be more 40
curate, practically all the cinchona
bark from which the worlds supply of
quinine is made. Ninety per cent. Of
the yield is shipped to Amsterdam,
now the cinchona market of the world,
the remainder being converted into
qninine in the Java quinine factory ut
Bandoeng.
The secret Of the manufacture Of
this drug has been most jealousy
guarded, and it is only of recent years
success has attended the efforts of
those who ventured to make stand
against the combination of quinine
factories in Europe. The trust had
been particularly hard on the plant
ers, continually depressing the price
of the bark and keeping the price Of
the manufactured article high; maxi
ing it necessary for the planter either
to go out of business or to attempt to
combat his taskmaster. He followed
the latter course.
The first efforts were not success
full, the quality of the quinine being
inferior and resulting in the Java ar
ticle getting a bad name. But now
the factory is we'll on its feet, and the
methods in use in the laborato in
Java are thoroughly scientific and up
to date. Mr.. F. L. Seely, secretary and
treasurer of the Paris Medicine COM
pany at st. Louis, one of the largest
users of quinine in the world, reports
as the result of personal investiga-
tions in Java the conviction that the
factory at Bandoeng produces quinine
above the standard. Which is of con-
siderable interest to the world at
large, as the Java product is sold much
lower than the common makes. Mr..
Seely has given the world the benefit

bark and cover the naked trunks with
moss; but now it is considered better
to cut the, trees down close to the
roots and near by plant new ones. The
trees are then cut into short lengths
and the bark beaten off by women.
Women and children assist also in
the further preparation of the bark.
The pharmaceutical bark, the pipe
bark, is usually dried entirely in the
sun. It is placed in great trays, and
while it is still green women and chill.
dren tie it into bundles. They sit in
the trays and work quite at their
ease. When bark is dried in ovens the
latter are heated by the wood of the
stripped trees.
After the bark is thoroughly dried
it is roughly ground into powder. Wa
ter power, which is abundant, is usual
~ employed for this process. The
powder is then packed into bags and
the greater part of it sent to Amster-
dam, whence it is distributed to diff
ferent factories. The remainder, as
we have said, is manufactured into
quinine at Bandoeng.
Bandoeng is about eight hours ride
from Batavia, the chief port of Java.
1t is an attractive little town, its long,
low houses built for tropical condi-
tions. Cinchona plantations lie all
about Bandoeng, from nine to thirty
miles distant. One may reach these
plantations by any one of three ways:
on the back of pony, in pony cart
or in a mountain chair carried by four
natives. On the way cinchona may be
seen in all styles, from the tiny seed
up to large forest trees, towering a
hundred feet from the ground. The
dwellings of the planters are eminent-
ly comfortable, not to say luxurious.
The refnements of life ape not lack-
ing on these Javanese plantations.
aad the planters are cultivated, intel
ligent gentlemen. The Peruvian bark
industry has done not little towards
the evident prosperity of the country,
ranking to-day as one Of the principal
articles of export.

VICTORY OF THE CAMERA.
Il Has Accomplished an Invasion OF
the Turkish HarelM and Taken
the Beauties.

The camera has won another VIC
tory. 1t has invaded the Turkish
harem. The queen of the harem,
who, according to contemporary art
lists, spends her time reclining lam
guidly upon gorgeous cushions,
famed by picturesque slaves, will be
shown in her habits as she lives, and
one more arabian Nights" illusion
will be shattered, says the Baltimore
Sun.
OF course, it is expressly forbid
den that the photographs of women
shall be circulated outside of the fam
lily, but presumably feminine vanity
flourishes as well in Turkey as in
any other country, and the chances
that pictures will not pass beyond
the harem are hardly worth the risk
of white chip.
The most famous photographer of
Constantinople is the only one to
whom the sultan has granted the
privilege of Photographic the Turk
ish women, and it is safe to suppose
that he is an object of envy to his
less fortunate fellow-citizens. The
photographer is recent convert to
Islam, and the sultan may have de-
cided to show him what could be done
in the line of houris by way of clinch-
ing his zeal. Isl.
The amateur photography craze,
which is spreading in Turkish home
steads, opens possibilities more anus
ing than the favored professional
does. It is said that the women,
whose enforced seclusion makes them
seize upon any diversion with en-
thusiasm, have taken to the pastime
and are photographing everything in
sight.
One Of the Turkish correspondents
of French paper tells an entertain
ing bit of gossip in regard to one
Turkish household which has been
undergoing most violent disturbances,
all because the other women saw
their chance of getting back at the
favorite of their lord and master.
They got snap shots of her in her
bad tempers and her unbecoming
clothes, and part of the collection
having CHANGED to fall into the hands
of the vain beauty there were storms
that rent happy home asunder and
made one naughty Turk wish he had
never been born.

station Mongers In This
Instance,

II enjoy the unenviable distinction
of having aided in the organization
of mob on one OCCASION" said q
gentleman who is recent acquisi-
ton to the citizenship of Louisiana,
reports the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat, "but the scheme all went awry
for reasons that will be more par
ticularly set forth hereinafter. I had
been sent out to q little town in Ten
nessee where the offense which justi-
ffes lynching had been committed. I
was on one of the dailies published
at the capital of the state, and there
was with me on the trip the reporter
of another paper. We expected to
find a tremendous mob at the town
where the negro had been placed
when arrested, but, instead, we found
the quietest place in the world. Men
were lounging lazily under shade
trees, whiting on dry goods boxes,
and Willing away the time after the
usual fashion in country towns.
There was no evidence of the mob
spirit. We had to stir up something,
or lose the story. We stopped every
straggler that came along, and said
we had heard that the negro was
going to be lynched, and, while we
deplored the fact, we thought under
the circumstances it would be justi-
fed. Finally we had the crowd in
good condition, and had arranged for
a meeting in an old stable. We had
been spending money freely, and the
crowd was almost in swooning con-
dition.
"When we got into the stable my
friend jumped upon bale Of hay and
began fearful denunciation of the
wretch who had committed the crime.
The crowd would cheer Justify at in
tervals. My friend finished. We all
went to get another round of drinks
before going to the Jail. Some other
feilow was full of speech, and we
gathered around the bale of hay
again. We listened, cheered Justify
at intervals, and then went to the
rumshop to whet our appetites for
gore again. Some other fellow in
sisted on exercising his lungs, and
we gathered around the bale Of nay
again, listened and cneered Justify
at intervals, got thirsty in the mean
time, and returned for final drink ;
before attacking the jail. Some other
fellow had, in the meantime, pumped
his lungs full of philippics and hot
air, and he wanted to work his Adj
ans apple, so back to the bale of
hay we went. We finally concluded
to make the charge on the Jail. Day
light had begun to show, and in the
gray, still morning the Jail of the
town did not look larger than a
chicken coop. We swooped down on
the Jail and demanded the keys. We
got them, and demanded the pris-
oner. The man is not here the
jailer said, good naturally. Sure
enough, the prisoner had been spir-
fled away, while we were speaking
from the bale of hay and imbibing
in the rum shop, and it was a case
Of two scoopers getting scooped."

History of Trade Mark.
A trade mark may seem small, trivial
thing to many, and many a trade mark
Is small thing. With the well-known
trade mark of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road there is much history that is valu-
able and interesting. How many readers
know that the origin Of this trade mark
dates back more than 5000 years before
the Christian era and is one of the mys-
teries Of ancient Chinese philosophy.
Yet such is the fact. The idea was first
received from the Korean flag at world 8
fair, and subsequent research developed
its antiquity. The Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company has issued booklet en-
titled "A History Of Trade Mark" a
chapter Of Wonderland 1901. giving full
