SPECTRUM OF LIGHTNING.
Photograph. Successfully Obtained sno,


Ing the Divisions of CoIor.
Prof. e. c. Pickering, the director of
the Harvard Observatory, announces
what are said to be the first successful
experiments in photograph!ng the
spectrum of lightning. that is. the di-
visions of colors which combine to
produce the white glare of the light
ming flash and which offer the phys-
lcist his opportunity to analyze the
elements that compose it. The photo
graphs. three in number, were obtained
by j. II. Freeze of Harvard at the
observatory last summer, with the
same apparatus that is used in photo
graphing the spectra OF the stars. This
apparatus consists of an eight-inch or
eleven-inch telescope with a camera at
ono end and prism at the other. the
latter being placed in front of the OBJ
)ectlve lens so as to break up the OBJ
Ject photographed into parallel bands
or color. which are seen in the pho
tograph by differences in degree of
black and white. The scientific value
of these spectra arises from the fact
that the various elements of the at
mosphere, as well as the various ele-
ments of solid bodies under the iniu-
ence of intense heat, give off different
colors, by which they can be differen-
tiated. The element of hydrogen,
which is found in the spectra of near
ly all stars. produces series of we'll
marked lines quite different from
those made by the element of iron. for
example. found in some, but not in all,
stellar spectra. The photograph OF
star spectrum Is not so much the pho
tograph of the star as of the luminous
vapor Immediately surrounding it,
from which it is possible to deduce the
constitution of the burning mass of
the star itself. The hydrogen lines of
the lightning spectra obtained are
round to be very much like those
shown by the spectra of new" stars.
except. of course, that they indicate no
solid body. An interesting compari-
son shows that the hydrogen lines of
lightning flash that Illuminated the
whole heavens correspond exactly with
those of small quarter-of-an-inch
flash OF lightning produced artifcia!ly
in tube or in the open air.-Western

recollections which Robert associated
with home reverted to the house in In

the ideas which were afterward to de-

one w. 5. Stratton, the discovsrer
of the Cripple Greek gold field.
Formerly he was carpenter In
this city. Poverty had rendered
him penniless. His wife becom-
ing respondent from having to sup
port the family by taking in wash
ing, chose to abandon her hus-
band on the ground of non sup
port. Stratton at times became so
poor that he could not::pay for his
meals. Still with:pick snds bar he

way. Districts over which other
prospeotors had passed he found
to be rich in gold. He sold the
famous Independence mine to an
English company for eleven mil
lion dollars. He yet owns many
rich mines The most valuable
/ property and enterprises in the
oity are now STATIONS. He is
spending million dollars on a
public park. The poor are re-
membered by him. He does not
seek notoriety; on the contrary he
dresses very plainly, and person
ally oversees his business and i'm.
provements. On labor day he
marches with the laboring people.
His wealth is now estimated at
forty million dollars.
While this man has made his
millions, millions have been lost
by others. The entire Cripple
Greek country reminds one of a
western prairie log town.
Every foot of land has been ia

mountains are punctursd with
moneyless holes. l had the plea
