Did China Have a Noah2

A London paper has discovered Chi
nese picture that represents is sup
posed to represent-Noah's ark resting
on the top Of Mount Ararat. The picture
is of great antiquity. AS is well known,
the religious literature of almost every
nation and race contains an account of
a deluge, but a Chinese manuscript,
recently unearthed, follows very close
ly the story as recorded in the Bible.
1t is particularly interesting in that
the roof Of the Chinese ark is of the
gable variety associated with the
Noah's arks which prove such enter
tanning toys for our youngsters. The
Chinese picture, however, shows a
double-storied vessel, and, so far from
there being only one window in the
roof. there are windows in every posi-
BILE space.

A Vague "Reminiscences,

Though it happened in one of De-
troit's swell hotels, neither of the prin-
cipals belongs here. He had just seat
ed himself at the dinner table, when
she and another lady came in with
the usual flourish Of handsome and
well-dressed women.
He turned shade or two paler. At
ter coming her menu she looked across
the table, and her face took on a puz-
zled expression. When their eyes met
during the meal each pretended to be
studying the tablecloth or the opposite
wall. He left first, and she watched
through the doors.
annie" she said to her companion,
81 certainly know that man, but can't
for the life of me place him. 1 think
he knew me, too, but l couldn't bow
to him unless 1 were sure, could 1?
You know that 1 never snub any
one"
He wandered into the parlor later
while the women were there, looked a
little too fierce for congeniality, and
got away as soon as he could She
again gave out the conviction that she
knew him, and wondered where it was
and who he could be.
Never mind" said the companion;
'he's nothing to US. Forget him."
"Oh, foolish, it isn't. that, but you
know how it is when your memory be-
trays you, and 1 don't want him to
think me rude. But hubby will be here
tonight, and I'll have him find out all
about it."
Half an hour later she smothered q
scream and rushed imploringly at the
other woman. For heavens sake
Annie, don't you say word to my hub
by about that fellow. 1t just came tc
me-"

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 a great deal about static and
dynamic electricity. But the bolt that
dashes from cloud to earth during
thunderstorm is as terrifying and mys-
terious as ever. 1t mocks at the puny
efforts of science. We know in gen.
eral 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 it is dis
charged from a cloud to earth it will
destroy any poor conductor that II
NAV 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
it 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 IN
harmed. That human foresight does
not know where lightning will strike
next was demonstrated by the re
markable and appalling destruction OF
life in a recent thunderstorm at Chi
cago. in which eleven persons met in
slant death by one bolt of lightning
while huddled together in zinc-lined
shanty under pier. Such an instance
of wholesale electrocution by a single
bolt of lightning is probably not on rec
| ord. If those who sought shelter under
the uncovered shed had not beer
crowded closely together, thereby es
tablishing perfect contact one with thu
other, there might have been fewe
fatalities. AS it was they were electro
cuted as one person. In seeking shelte
from a storm beware of metal-coveret
sheds or anything else in which meta
predominates.

phone is the most important use of the
highway. Trees should give way to
the telephone, as they have to the max
ing of roads. Where telephones run,
trees should be set back % to 80 feet.
The country telephone lines should be
of the best material, on well-shaped
poles at least % feet high and six
inches in diameter. AS time passes,
poles will probably be shortened and
the wires be as near the ground as cleo
trical conditions will permit, except at
road crossings.
MANY small exchanges are prefer
able to fewer large ones. Village ex-
changes should have connection with
town exchanges and county seat eX-
changes, and these with city and long
distance exchanges, so that the farmer
may speak to anybody anywhere. For
this he ought to have not only a good
equipment, but even a better equip
ment than any one else. His line should
not consist of WORKOUT or old material
| from town and city lines. He is much
more dependent on good service than
the city man"
Telephone rates to farmers as rule
are lower than the city charges. The
companies say the construction cost
of the country lines is much less. In
this county the farmer gets his tele-
phone for $1S year and this entities
him to free service in the city and out
side it within the county. Take the
| New Augusta exchange as illustration.
OF 70 patrons, so are farmers, the most
distant from the town living five
miles out. In addition to having quick
communication with 40 other farmers
he may order his groceries at five or
six stores, call two or three doctors
or a veterinary surgeon, ring up two
butchers and consult with a justice of
the peace. These are all within easy
reach at New Augusta. So are two saw
mills, one grist mill and blacksmith
shop. So if he wants to borrow from
his neighbors or to get harvest help he
may know without leaving his house
whether he may get them. He can call
to his blacksmith or his barber: ANY
thing ahead of me-" and when there
isn't hitch up his Maud S. and "be
there in a minute" Or he may mount
his bicycle or jump on the interurban
car-when the Indianapolis & Logans-
port Rapid Transit Company gets
down to business. Calling up the post
office, if he hasn't rural delivery, he
may save valuable time on harvest
days, by saying: This is Gilmore; any
mail for me to-day?" In an emergency
the telephone connection with the doc
tors will requite him perhaps for the
years charges telephone charges).

Economic Value of Birds.

1t is averred that the destruction of
birds in France has produced disas-
trous effects upon agriculture, horticul-
ture and the grape industry. In the De
partment of Herault alone, it has been
calculated, the destruction of birds ac-
customed to feed upon insects costs a
loss of more than 100000 gallons of
wine every year. Some birds consume
about 600 insects each day, and a sin
gle insect-eating species, Mons. Levat
estimates, may be the means of saving
5000 grains Of wheat and 1,15O grapes
per day.

A regular army officer, referring to
the "go-as-you-please" appearance of
American soldiers, deems it SO grave
defect that he delves deep for the cause
of it and charges it up as a national
characteristic. At the same time Lord
Wolseley declares that the United
States army is the best of its size in the
world There never were fighters with
less idea of appearance and discipline
than the Beers; but five times their
number of British troops have not yet
succeeded in completely conquering
them. So we need not feel uneasy about
the free-and-easy aspect Of our Ameri-
can troops.

Young Chicagoan Gets Into a Scrape

Young Chicagoan Gets Into a Scrape
from PoIiteness.
One young man in Chicago found him
self in a very embarrassing position
during Grand Army encampment week
because Of the fear of some of the Wis
itors from the country who thronged
the city. The newspapers had pub
lished columns of warnings to the peo-
pie from the country against the smooth
tricksters who swarmed the city, wait
ing to lead the strangers to the tunnels
to see the explosion" or something of
the kind, and to relieve them of their
ready cash when they reached the first
dark alley.
Herbert McCulla, who travels for a
well-known Chicago gas lamp company,
had just returned to this city over the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad,
and was walking south on 9TH avenue
to go to his home on the West Side on
a West Madison street car. AS he
neared Randolph street he encountered
two gray-haired veterans from the
country, and overheard one Of them
advise the other to go to the policeman
on the next corner and ask where the
Briggs House was. McCulla knew
very we'll where the hotel was situated,
and, stepping up to the strangers, he
said:
''The Briggs House is just around the
corner on Randolph street. Come
along, I'm going right past it and will
point it out to you and save you the
trouble of looking for policeman"
sect along with you" said one of the
strangers. Were onto you confidence
men. We've read Of you in the papers,
The accommodating Chicagoan laugh
ed and started to leave the strangers,
but just at that time a blue-coated Off
Ger appeared around the corner and one
of the strangers rushed up to him and
reported that the man with the valise
was a confidence man and had just
tried to entice them to go with him sc
that he could rob them.
The policeman rushed after McCulla
and grabbed him by the collar, demand
ing him to explain why he had tried tt
lead the two strangers with him. The
drummer explained to the officer tina
he had merely volunteered to direct the
strangers to their hotel and explained
who he was and what firm he worked
for. The policeman was skeptical anC
would not believe him, and asked hin
to show evidence of his identification
as travelling salesman. McCulla pu
his hand in his pocket to get a card O
a letter, but discovered that he did no
have paper Of any description in hi
pocket by which he could prove hi
statements, and to keep from going t
l the station he was forced to open hi
va1ise on the street and produce letter
from his firm and show his samples
after which the officer apologized an
released him.-Chicago Chronicle.

Value of the Apple Cron.

Wheat is u great crop IN the United
States, but there are several others that
beat it in value, and among them is the
apple crop. AS nearly as statistics can
give it, the apple crop of 1900 was 2l5.-
100000 barrels, and 81 barrel is a
fairly moderate average to put upon
them. That would yield $3.50, DOC. 900,
or 80 per cent more than the wheat
crop, which was rated at a little more
than S300,000,000. America exported
100000 barrels OF apples last year.
and as they learn to care for apples az
they do for other fruit they will export
still more. Apples selected for quality.

former experiences made it 100 to 1

a poor chance of catching them, so he
called up his neighbOr mile down the
road the wagon took, and asked him
to hustle out on the highway with his

among his neighbors; they had fell

recently been put in at Cumberland;
others are scheduled for Acton and
Clermont. In Perry and Decatur
townships, in this County. and in
White River Township, in johnson
County, gangs of workmen are now

The manager of one of the local COM
panies was asked if it was doing any
thing in this line and answered: Yes,
we are now working in the north and

Startling Report Which Comes from a

Startling Report Which Comes from a
Government official.
Tradition has it that once upon a
time, for a single day, since civiliza-
ton obtained a footing on this CONT
nent, the bed of the Niagara River was
dry and the cliffs down which the
mighty waters have since plunged
without cessation stood forth naked
and black and frowning and grim. The
phenomenon was explained on natural
grounds. The same things may hap
pen again under similar circumstances,
though such an occurrence would at
tract more wondering visitors probably
than does the great cataract now as
it roars and surges and flashes in the
sunlight from century to century. 1t
must suggest to most people surprise
of hardly less degree to be informed
that Lake Erie is in danger of becom-
ing so shallow as to offer obstacles to
navigation. We can conceive of the
Niagara being damned at its source,
but few have ever dreamed that the
vast eXpanse of water which furnishes
it it's current would ever perceptibly
shrink.
That is the startling report, however,
that the chief engineer of the Marine
Department of Canada has made. He
has returned to Ottawa from tour of
inspection of the upper lakes, and
states that Lake Erie is lower than
was ever known to be the case before.
This condition is due, he thinks, to a
series o3 5..y seasons, to the drain made
by the power of development works at

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 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
cial life of the head of an executive de-
partment is usually short. The throngs
that gathered recently to see the Pres
the country looked upon the great ma
tional leaders of to-day; but four years
hence, in all probability, not one of

plying his present position. Indeed, it
is doubtful if any one of them will be
occupying any official position. Even a
President drops quickly out of the
larger life of the nation when he quits
Office. Scholarships, on the other hand
are long-term offices. Most of the Sen
