Lightning Losses in the United States.

Lightning Losses In the United States.
The officials of the United States
Weather Bureau for O number of
years have been collecting statistics of
the loss of life and property oeca
stoned by Lightning strokes. The
figures for the year 1899 have recent
ly been compiled, and show that the
Weather Bureau received reports of
6527 buildings damaged or destroyed
by lightning. and of 729 buildings
which caught fire and were damaged
as result of exposu - buildings al
ready struck. The number of reports
received was about three times as
large as in the previous year, and in
2S25 known cases indicated an ap-
proxlmate loss of $3.016,520, or an av-
erage of nearly $1100 building, but
such an average would not apply to
the cases reported, as the loss in most
instances -7ould be insignificant. The
Chronicle fire tables give the number
of insured buildings struck by light
ming during the year 1899 at 2769, with
a total loss amounting to S3,913,525.
or an average slightly in excess of
S14O0 per building. These figures are
considerably in excess of those for
1897 and 1S9S Seventy electric power
plants were struck during the year,
and damage to the amount of $215,622
was inflicted on such objects as rail
way cars, deIricks, vessels, bridges,

One of the most Interesting OF re
cent inventions Is the musical typewri-
ter. 1t does not play music, but writes
it, the keyboard being an arrangement
of musical characters instead OF Ordi-
nary letters. The mechanism is in
most respects similar to that of the
everyday typwriter
The sheet of paper on which the
music is to be written is printed be-
forehand with the lines Of the staff,
and, by pressing one of the buttons,
the musical character desired may be
made to assume Its place on the line
wanted, so as TO stand for the proper
note or other mark. Full notes, half
notes, quarter notes and sixteenth
notes appear on the keys, as well as
the signs for sharps and flats.
In writing music, the operator first
prints the clef mark, and then the ar
rangement of sharps and flats which
indicates the key in which the piece
is written. Chords are formed by put
ting the component notes together, one
after another. but in vertical line on
