He is picturesque figure. His ruddv

a wholesome contempt for the fine arr

deft at knotting a line or adjusting n

of a stream, and he enters into every
detail with bOyish enjoyment His
fishing he alternates with landscano
painting, writing and the care of nlants
In none Of these pursuits does he claim
professional skill, but he brings to
them something more than professional
zest. Mr.. Jefferson is a very abstemi.

Western apples sent to the New York
market last season afford new proof of
the Importance Of packing goods In the
best way. In the ordinary New York
fiat there is seldom room for a barrel
OF apples. nor would fruit bought in
such quantity keep until used. On the
other hand. apples purchased by the
dozen or the peck are expensive. West
ern growers who acted upon this
knowledge were well paid. Last year
they shipped their apples 10 New York
in boxes. They We're sold at barrel
rates, and the boxes were conveniently
kept on the iire-escapes. until freezing
weather. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand boxes were sold last winter, and
this year the number will be still
larger.

The pranks of the lightning have al
ways COMPOUNDED science with inexplic-
able mystery ever since Noah watched
the gathering fury Of the elements
from the deck of the ark. Franklin
with his kite merely demonstrated the
possibility of drawing electricity from
the atmosphere by means Of conduct
ors. But the discovery of Franklin, val
liable and brilliant as it was, did not
solve the mystery of the lightning. We
know great deal about static and
dynamic electricity. But the bolt that
dashes from cloud to earth during a
thunderstorm is as terrifying and mys-
terious as ever. 1t mocks at the puny
efforts Of science. We know in a gen
erul way that lightning is The discharge
OF electricity between two electrified
regions, from cloud to cloud or from
cloud to earth. We also know that
it Is charged with tremendous voltage,
or energy, and that when 1t is dis
charged from cloud to earth 1t will
destroy any poor conductor that 1t
may encounter. The lightning rod rep
resents the feeble effort of man to solve
the mystery of lightning and to protect
life and property from its death-dealing
bolts. 1t was built on the theory that
II would conduct the electricity from
the atmosphere safely into the earth
and that the electric current. finding a
better conductor than the house, would
follow it and leave the house un-
harmed. That human foresight does
not know where lightning will strike
next was demonstrated by the re-
markable and appalling destruction Of
life I'm a recent thunderstorm at Chi
cago, in which eleven persons met in
slant death by one bolt of lightning
while huddled together In n zinc-lined
shanty under a pier. Such an instance
of wholesale electrocution by a single
holt of lightning is probably not on rec
ord. II those who sought shelter under
the uncovered shed had not been
crowded closely together, thereby es-
tablishing perfect contact one with the
other, there might have been fewer
fatalities. AS it was they were electro
cuted as one person. In seeking shelter
from a storm beware of metal-covered
sheds or anything else in which metal
predominates.

When Mr.. Arthur was President he
once said TO John NJ. Wilson, then a
major in the regular army: presidents
may come and Presidents may go, but
the army runs on forever" A few
weeks ago Wilson, as a brigadier gen
eral, retired from service as the head
of the engineer corps of the army. He
had entered West Point as a cadet fif-
teen years before Mr.. Arthur had been
heard Of outside the politics of New
York, and his active work ends fifteen
years after that Presidents death. The
fact illustrates the truth of President
Arthur's playful paraphrase, which
might have been applied to other
branches Of the government. The Off

Mechanical ingenuity has done won
ders for the farmer In the last half-cen-
fury, but II has not yet reached point
where 1t will enable him to farm by
telephone. Farming is not matter OF
talk, anyway. The cracker box at the
corner grocery has been the forum for
the discussion and settlement of great
problems of government, but it never
increased the productiveness of the
soil 1t is, therefore, hardly possible
to increase crops by increasing the
farmers facilities for conversation.
And yet recent experiments in various
parts of the country tend to confirm the
belief that the telephone is to become
one of the most valuable contributions
to rural life and great aid to the
farmer, especially the one who follows
the business of agriculture on IA large
scale. In farm where portions of it
are let out to tenants its value as an
cconomizer of time through telephone
connection between the houses of the
tenants and the residence of the own
er, as well as through connection of the
various buildings, is readily apparent.
But the telephone has larger use for
the farmer than establishing a means
OF communication between his build
ings. The establishment of farmers
cooperative exchanges in various parts
Of the country furnishes Il hint Of the
extent to which the telephone is to be
utilized to promote the interests of hus-
bandry In Montgomery County, Indl-
ana, forty townships are connected
and over six thousand telephones are
in use. The ultimate effect of the es-
adjustment of these exchanges in
farming communities is to put the rural
family in contact with the city and the
world mt large. and thus enlarge its in
dustrial and social horizon, including
greater contentment with farm life.
The ability to ring up" the city may
be the solution of the problem of how
to keep boys on the farm.
