USELESS EYEBAuL WAS
REMOVED BY SURGEONS

About Il year ago a ranchman
named Pat Whalen lost the sight of
his left eye by an accident, a piece of
stone flying and striking him in that
organ. He suffered at times severely.
and a few days ago. the trouble be
coming aggravated, he came to Lar
annie, intending to take the train for
Denver and have the eye operated up
on. When he arrived here he had
grown so much worse that he could
not proceed that day, and he was urg-
ed to consult Drs. Green and Wilson
of this city.
Yesterday he submitted to an oper-
alton by those gentlemen, who femov-
ed the injured eyeball, the operation
being entirely successful. Today Mr..
Whalen, while still feeling the effects
of the c%hloroform, is not suffering from
the eye, and is resting fairly well, with
the prospect Of speedy recovery.

OF BROOKLYN WAS
TAKEN OUT.
Siesbee Said to Have Told SchIey
Spanish Fleet Was Not in Santi-

ish Shore Batteries.


Washington, Oct. 23.-The Schley
court of inquiry opened yesterday
with Lieutenant b. W. Wells, jr. Com
modore Schley's flag lieutenant during
the Spanish war, still on the stand,
but he was soon displaced to allow
Yeoman Albert V. Mason. who had
written the Brooklyn's log for the
period covering the Santiago cam
paign, to testify.
Mason explained the erasure in the
log referring to the ]Brooklyn's turn
on the day of the battle of Santiago.
He was followed by George E. Ora
ham, who as an Associated Press cor
respondent was with Commodore
Schley during the entire campaign.
Graham's testimony covered all the
principal events of the campaign. and
discussed especially the bombardmeut
of the Spanish shin Colon on Nav 81,
and the battle off Santiago on July 3.
Graham testified to hearing a con-
vessation between Commodore Schley
and Captain Sigsbee when the latter
came aboard the flagship BROOKLYN off
Santiago, Nav &c. He said he had
distinctly heard CAPTAIN Sigsbee tell
the commodore that the Spanish fleet
was not inside the harbor at Santiago.
Graham also stated that Admiral
Schley had told him that the object nj
the bombardment Nav 81 was to de-
velop the Spanish land batteries, and
he said that the range was fixed at
1000 or 1900 Yards in order to draw
their fire. He said further. with refer
ence to events of this Engagement
that he heard no conversation in which
Commodore Schley said hat the off
GERS in their white uniforms were on
s%picuous objects.

surIineton-Union Pacific Story.

A statement issued at New York
Monday morning that an offer had
been made by Union Pacific interests
to take over a ha~lf-interest in the Bur
lington railway and that this offer had
been rejected. was declared to be in
correct. 1t was admitted, however.
that the story had this much founda'
tion-that a suggestion has been made
in the current conferences over North
ern Pacific control for a division of
Burlington. This proposal, however.
originated with Mr.. Hill. and was one
of many suggestions which have not
been long discussed.

0 LIGHTNING.


Is Little Understood.
Without doubt lightning was the
first electrical phenomenon hat was
eve Observed Icy human beings. To
this day it remains the least known
and least understood of natural cleo
trical manifestations. except, perhaps,
the aurora. There is a vast deal of
popular misconCeption concerning the
danger of lightning and the nature of
it. The lightning flash is "A discharge
from a cloud at a high potential, with
reference to the earth. When the at
mosphere is charged with water vapor
and some eddy or current in its colder
upper strata is detected downward,
causing condensation, exceedingly
minute drops of water are formed,
each bearing an electrical charge. The
ment of the potential of the charge,
since the capacity of the drop varies
with its diameter and the volume OF
the drop with the cub" Of the dame
ter. The consequence Of this is that
it takes, for example. eight drops con-
solidated to make one OF twice the
diameter of the constituents drops,
/ and the charge on the surface Of the
| consolidated drop will be four times rs
great as that upon the Surfar" Of its
elements. In this way. as the small
water particles unite to form drops
which fall as rain, the potential of
the charge they carry increases until
it attains enormous values and the
which may be regarded simply as a
body of very great elcctrostatic capac'
ity. This discharge. which is called
lightning. is apt to be more or less
destructive. although the energy of an
individual flash is perhaps not very
great.-EleCtriCal Review
