II is fact that many persons who

to- danger have terrible dread Of
lightning and suffer aRonies of apple.
hension during the prevalence of every
severe electrical storm. 10 such persons
the advice given in the following edi-
torial extract from the Dover Index
may bring large measure OF comfort :
Considering the frequency OF heavy
electrical storms and the large areas
visited by them and comparing the
damage done by them with damage
created in the usual occupations which
people follow, it will be seen that acct
dents from lightning form but small
percentage Of the misfostunes which
befall them.
Most of the accidents to people caused
by Lightning are the result OF standing
under trees, sitting 10 draughts and
being situated in other dangerous
places. A careful observance of the
ordinary rules of common sense will
reduce the danger TO person from
lightning TO minimum.
Keeping aloof from tall objects. re-
naming inside the house, keeping the
windows ard doors closed so as to pre-
vent any draught through the house,
these with few minor precautions,
will make one comparatively safe 10 the
midst OF the heaviest Of thunder storms.
While no available statistics are at
hand upon which to base comparisons.
oil person who have this fearful dread
of lightning may derive assurance by
making their own comparisons. The
experience OF almost any community
will show that the deaths by lightning
will not number ono in hundred of
the total deaths by violence. There is,
in fact, no more liability of death from
lightning, when ordinary precautions
to avoid exposure are observed, than
from walking the streets of the city,
day after day. And severe electrical
storms are by no means infrequent
during the summer season. For ex-
ample, deaths by violence are not at all
uncommon in Wilmington. But fatali-
ties from lightning stroke are exceed
ingly rare here. In tact, it is not often
that even severe shocks are reported.
The timid ones, therefore, may take
hope. If they are doomed to death by
violent means, there is great probability
of other agents than lightning being
employed for the end.

The Presidential Succession.

Up to 1885 the succession ran first
to the vice president and then to the
president Of the senate and the speaker
of The house; but the contingencies
suggested by President GarfieId's
death led the forty-hinth congress to
pass new law, making the succession
run, after the vice president, in the
order named, to the secretary ofstate,
the secretary of the treasury, the
secretary OF war, the attorney general,
the postmaster general, the secretary
OF the navy and the secretary of the
interior. .Thhs eight lives stand between
