 Officials of other companies state that it has come 10 their knowledge in unofficial ways during the past two or three days that such move would be made by the Tennessee Company, and that it would be announced by the general manager or president fin the course of few weeks time.

A Queer Colony OF Outlaws.

From the Nsp Orleans Times Democrat.
"fn Lower California there Is one OF the
most curious colonies In the world" said a
Bohemian who recently came from the Pa
oifio Slope, and il a wonder 70 me that we
have not heard more about the men who
have housed themselves in under such Curl
Gus circumstances. II IL colony Of outlaws,
mails who operated during the latter ha.f Of
the nineteenth century are probably To be
found in this strange nest j..
They live in strange, rugged stretch Of
side and a range OF foothills which spread
down toward the Mexican border on the other,
There are no ports at this point on the coast
Of California: and no railroads reaching IN
well isolated. Occasionally they will send
out for as upply Of provisions when tho larder
begins to get low. but they are awfully
the outside world, and for good reasons
want to have nothing TO do with II. They
have been congregeting In that section for
years, and no effort has been made 70 disturb
10 themselves. purT.e such callings as are
most genial. and In no way come In con-
tact with the outside world except when they
send out for such provisions as they may
need They are practically prisoners
U"Crooks Of every kind may be found there.
and | have frequently heard while touring
in southern California that some OF the most
noted crooks. Inurderers and forgers, and
every other kind. are housed in this section.
and many of them have lived there for years
Their. are many stories to be gathered N
this strange quarter, many stories that would
probably unfold many Of the worlds mys-
teries and yet doubt II any Bohemian would
dare to venture into the place In order TO get
them, CUES. 1t would be trife unsafe for
tory, for they would look upon him with
misgiving. however honest his preten sions,

How Great Is the Danger From Lish thing,

To THE EDITOR OF The SCN-Sir. For the
purposes OF illustration I would say to n
Woman" that the electric discharges In light
ming may be compared to the escape Of steam
under high pressure and the lightning rod
to a pipe conveying the steam. II is plain
that II the pipe Is not strong enough tho
steam will burst II and escape with explosive
violence. and such pipe would correspond
To poor conductor OF electricity. II the
pipe were TO be left open somewhere where
1t ought not to be there the steam might
escape and do much damage. and this Is like
the conductor or lightning rod would act
when not properly insulated from the build
ing Or tho pipe. instead OF conveying the
steam 10 the place intended. might be wrongly
connected and so cause trouble, and this
would correspond to a rod not properly con-
nected with the moist ground near the house.
Then again there might not be enough OUT
lets for the steam from an overcharged
boiler, and in the same wav there might not
be enough conductors for the electricity,
In time Of a thunderstorm the condition IL
like this: The atmosphere above IL like an
oyercharged boiler. but with enough good
conductors copper or aluminium Is best,
thoroughly insulated by glass or porcelain,
and carried down far enough to reach moist
earth. where they should spread into many
branches or in some other way expose a
large surface for escape. there Is not much
danger from lightning. But sometimes the
boiler above Is under such excessive pressure
that IL bursts anyway and then there Is dam
age, but no human device Is entirely ade-
qiate against the forces of nature But gem
orally the failurgof lightning rods is due 10
the manner In which they are put up. for tho
lightning would have TO be very diiident
indeed il II could resist the special invitation
to enter a house which IL extended to 1t by
some methods of attaching the rods.
As TO striking sk kyscrapers, A Woman"
NAV have observed how little dana ge Is done
when anything in the city i struck. and this
because OF tho vast quantities of metal work
constantly drawing away and scattering the
electric huid before IL can get to the explosive
point. Generally hagpole is shattered
and little else. think II is the towe near ST.
Marks in enice which used 10 be an easy
marx for the lightning. but since 1t has been
properly protected by rods it has scarcely
received a visit, and there are many more in
stances OF the same sort. So science has
shown the way, and it is question Of using
the means and keeping them In order,
The proper protection OF house Is, how
ever, a case for careful and skilfll man.

Genuriection In Episcopal Churches.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUS-Sir: Much
space has been devoted to genunection in the
Episcopal Church by certain Protestant
periodicals which note tendency TO higher
ritual In the Church.
In New York senufecton has become very
common in the Episcopal Church. so much
so that Protestants look with awe to see the
ever increasing tendency Of Episcopalians
toward Catholicity.
The word "genuhection" means bowing
when person enters pew I'm a church he
bows the knee to the altar, as our Saviour
is always present there The cross on the
altar only signifies the suffering OF our Lord
and ignorant Protestants may know once and
for all that We do not bow to the "brazen, :"
cross as they term 1t, IL IL to the symbol
Of the cross that We bow, not to its mere form
Protestants recognize no visible form OF our
Saviour in the communion. They do not
believe that the true body and blood Of our
Lord Is commanding OF respect when in the
prayer Of conservation occurs the elevation
Of the ohalics to which every knee should
bow. Also In the Nicsns Creed every knee
should be bent In that stirring passage,
And was made man"
It is to be hoped that Protestants study
church history where they will find sum-
cisnt warrant for "genufection, II Is to the
devout soul an outward form whereby We
express our love for our Saviour.
