Fear of Lightning.

How ,lnreasoning the fear of light
ming felt by so mGly timid people is
may be seen from compilation of
statistics made by the weather bureau.
The figures, which have heen gath
cred during the past decade relative
to the deaths by lightnir- in the
United States, are certainly of con-
siderable interest. The old question
used to be how to protect buildings
against ghtning-lightning rods or
none, solid rods or hollow rods-and
on the latter point men ike Faraday
and Sir William Snow Harris took op.
posite sides and waxed wroth, each
telling the other he knew nothing
about the subject. To-day little or no
attention is given to this matter and
1t is generally realized that as regards
where lightning will strike we must
take our chances, which, according to
the statistics referred to. are about
one in 100000 of being struck. The
old idea that lightning will never
strike twice in the same place has
been pretty well exploded by the act
ual facts, and there is reason to as
sumo that ii lightning strikes a giycn
point once it may be expected to
strike there again, rather than at
some other contiguous place.
The theory of lightning is now fair
ly well established. It is supposed to
be due to the rapid condensation of
the minute drops of moisture in the
air, each of which, under certain con-
dttions, contains small electric
charge. AS these minute drops coal
esce the electric potential is increased,
due to the fact that the total superb
cial area of the coalesced drop is less
than twice that when they existed
singly, and, as the electric capacity is
proportional to this area, the electric
charge or the two drops is now con-
fined within an area of less capacity
than before, with the result that the
electric pressure is increased In this
way, long before the drops have at
tanned size to be precipitated as rain
an electro-motive force amounting to
millions OF volts is developed.
WhMe there is no certain immunity
from lightning when it prevails. atten.
ton is called to the great eesirability
OF perseyering in efforts n resusci
tate those--who have been rendered in.
sensible by lightning strokes, as re-
coveries have repeatedly been made
OF persons supposed to be dead, after
more than an hours efforts. The sta
tistics also show that there is no i'm
munity from lightning in a feather
bed, in house, or In a closet. and
that knives and the like do not attract
lightning. For those who are inner.
entity dreadful of lightning the only
comforting suggestion that can be of
fered is to remember that If enc lives
to see the flash he is safe for that
time.

"A dispatch from..-siouxs City..giyes
further information concerning the
effort to break up the gang of thieves,
one of whom was brought through
Mankato last week from Sanborn,
where he was arrested, and was
taken to Worthington. 1t says:
"The people in and around Sheldon
are considerably wrought up over the
unearthing of gang Of thieves that
has been operating in northern Iowa
and southern Minnesota for some time
past. The Omaha railway grew tired
of losing goods from its cars continu-
ally, and set detectives to work along
it's line. acting in conjunction with
the sheriffs of Mobiles county, Mimi. /,
and Osceola county, Iowa. They have
found concealed on the farm Of E. B.
Collins, near Ashton, lot Of mer-
chandise, and arrests may follow.
Two Ashton residents are also said
to be interested. Fifty-two pairs of
shoes were also found near Sioux Falls
junction. Three men are under arrest
at Worthington charged with commit
ting some of the robberies. Two mer
supposed to be the ringleaders of q

FIGURES FROM AUSTIN.
Experiment in Municipal Ownership
of Lighting Plant.

Among the answers to the inquiries
sent out by the electric light commit
tee of the Merchants Protective asso-
citation was one from T. M. Foster,
city recorder of Austin. He states
that two years ago the city bought out
the General Electric Co. g plant and
connected it with the water works
plant operating the two in conjunc-
ton, with one superintendent, two en-
gineers and two fremen. There were
no arc lights, only incandescents being
used on the streets. The city has put
in ninety arc lights of Q, 900 candle
power, burning all dark hours. The
street lights are practically of no cost
to the city, which charges twelve
cents per 1000 watts to the consumers
OF commercial lighting, which is the
same as the Mankato Gas and Electric
Light Co. now charges its consumers.

twenty cents ger 1, 600 watts.

NORMAL HEATING PLANT.
Bill Affecting Appropriation Made at
Last Session of Legislature.

Bills were introduced in the senate
yesterday to correct two enactments OF
the regular session. One affects the
right of class of cities and villages
to build lighting and power plants,
and the other bars the Mankato normal
school from using $40, 600 appropria-
ton.
The lighting plant law was framed
by Senator McCarty. In engrossing,
two words were omitted, which rem
dered the whole enactment void. The
corrective measure includes the miss
ing words.
Senator Benedict at the regular ses-
sion introduced the regular appropria-
