A Wild Ride.

A peasant was recently gathering
dry wood in forest near Kastamuni
when bear suddenly appeared before
him. The frightened man sought ref
uge in the branches of tree, which
broke, and the peasant fell at the feet
of the bear. Bruin was quite overcome
with surprise. SO much so that the
peasant, who preserved his presence
Of mind, was instantly astride the
beast, using his ears as bride. The
bear tried Intellectually to throw him
and then, starting on wild run, issu-
ed from the forest and approached a
village. The rider shouted loudly for
help. and in a few minutes the whole
population turned out armed with
guns and scythes. A crack shot fired
bullet into the bears head, and the
peasant was able to leave his mount
unhurt.-Kastamuni turkey Official

SEVEN FEET OF LIGHTNING
The largest Electrical Spark Ever
Produced In n Laboratory.


Produced In n Laboratory.
The largest spark of lightning that
can be produced artificially is little
ander seven feet long. Such Il spark,
which is of practical use in the study
of the phenomena of lightning, may be
seen at the Jefferson Physical labora-
tory ut Harvard university, where it
is produced by the tremendous power
of 100000 volts of electricity, or sew
cral thousand times the power used in
electrocuting Il criminal. 1t has been
found also that u higher voltage can
not produce a longer spark.
The battery used at the Cambridge
has total electromotive force of about
C,000,000 volts, greater power than
that of any other laboratory battery in
this country and probably in the
world. When the battery is operated
in darkened room, the reason why
even the full current cannot produce Il
spark longer than that made by only
half its total power becomes readily
apparent.
Not only does the current of electric.
ity flash from one terminal sphere of
the transforming machine to the other,
making an exact reproduction of light
ming without the thunder but from
both terminals and from the long row
of conducting plates there is simulta-
neous brush discharge, SO called, close
ly resembling the effect of "heat light
ming"
The high electromotive force of the
battery has apparently broken down
the resistance of the air, result sim
liar to that of a diminished air pres
sure The main discharge of electric
ity that would have otherwise passed
between the terminals passes through
the air to the floor and walls. AS the
electromotive force increases more and
more electricity is given off toward
floor and walls and the length Of the
spark between the terminals is there
fore permanently limited.
With this same apparatus, if it could
be elevated into the rareiied atmos-
phere in which real lightning occurs
and where neither floors nor walls can
attract and dissipate the discharge. an
equal electromotive force would prob
ably produce very real and terrify-
ing lightning fash, the length of which
would represent more accurately the
tremendous power that occasioned it.
The passage of this powerful spark
through various substances is natural
ly very much like the effect of light
ming stroke. 1t has been shown by ex-
periments that the shattering and dis
ruptlve effects of lightning are very
probably due to the expansion of CON
fined air, as, for example, when the
bolt enters an old tree, or to the sud
den formation of steam-the high elec-
tromotive force, that is to say, breaks
down the resistance of the air and at
the same time transforms the moisture
of the air into steam, thus producing
an explosion that rends any surround
ing substance.

An icicle dropping into a barrel of
unslaked lime started a fire in one of
the buildings at the new state capitol
at Jackson, Miss, few days ago. The
Waterman turned in an alarm. The
firemen threw water upon the fire, but
that caused hundreds of barrels of
lime to ignite, and the building was
speedily destroyed, the department de-
voting its attention to saving the new
structure and adjoining buildings.

of the arrests He discovered the two men in Sanderss saloon Saturday night with crowd around them and they were all looking at dollar that Hayes had tried to pass on the clerk. Dozier told him unless he told where he got the dol lar he would lock him up and as he failed to tell, did so. Berry, who was with him had a new rifle and Dozier asked him where he got it. He said 1t was Hayes's and that he had bought 1t from a firm here. Dozier took the rifle and went to the store named and found that the proprietor had been paid counter felt dollar in part payment for the rifle.
 Hayes confessed to the policeman that he had bought the moulds and five spuri- ous dollars from his cousin. Tom Berry for $5 in good money and that if he would go to his uncles house. Ike Berry, six miles from Notasulga he would find the moulds in the fodder in the loft and he would find $9 more of the bad money in his pocket in his room. Dozier found it as he had said.
 Hayes testified on the stand that Berry told him he would teach him how to make the money and sell him the moulds for $5. He said Berry told him not to try to pass the money except at places where much money was being used.

JAMES H. HEATH SHOT.
Pistol Fell Out of His Pocket apd
 Was Discharged,

Gadsden, Sept. 30-(Special. )-James H. Leath of Birmingham. ex-Representative of Jefferson County. was passing through Echols's saloon with a friend Saturday when pistol accidentally fell out of his pocket and was discharged, the ball pass ing through the fieshy part of the foot and making a bad wound. He was car- ried to a physician and the wound was dressed. MT. Leath is the District Orga- nizer for the l. T. U. and was here on business connected with that order. Rev. J. l.. Marbut. ex-Representative from Etowah. says there Is great need of church and school house in a settle ment known as Ball Play, some twenty miles from Gadsden. He says that he was sent there to preach and found that there was no church of any kind. Some $50 persons living there have no place in which to hear the gospel or a school for their children. He preached and never had less than 200 at a service He was there five days and had thirty conversions and organized a church with forty members. Efforts are now being made to secure pledges for money and material to erect a church and school house combined.

TOO GREAT EXPENSE.
Not the Reason.

It is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is so expensive that many people decline to give it a trial, but because they find it too great a tax on their credulity to believe that the published letters bearing testimony to the merit of this remedy are genuine and bona tde; especially to those who have realized the suffering in cident to piles is it incredible that any, one who has been afflicted twenty-five and thirty years with the worst forms of protruding and bleeding piles should be cured by the application of simple rem edy. when their physician has assured them that the only relief is in a surgical operation. This is rightfully viewed with dread by all those afflicted. as it means at the least a great shock to the nervous system, with more than a possibility of utter collapse and death; in the majority of cases, too, there is a return of the complaint owing to the fact that the cause is not removed.
 The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to anyone who will show a single published testimonial to be not genuine and un- solicited; this latter feature IS most gratl- flying, inasmuch as these letters are writ ten solely out of gratitude, and with the hope that those who are afflicted as the writers have been may learn that relief Is at hand, at a comparatively trifiing expense. Pyramid Pile Cure Is for sale by druggists at fifty cents package, or will be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price.
 Mir Wm. LichtenwaIter, head of the largest printing house in Canton. Ohio. says: Ut is with the utmost pleasure and satisfaction that I can say I believe I am cured of protruGing and bleeding piles, after suffering more than twenty five years. have been in bed for two weeks at a time. I have not suffered In the least for over a year, and I used only three fifty-cent boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure I advised every person suffering with this distressing and painful com plaint to give this remedy a trial I have every confidence in it."

Congressman William Richardson will take up the matter and present the petition to the proper authorities in Washington. Persons continue to leave Jackson County for the West, the destination Of most of them being the Indian Territory. Nearly every train carries off from three to five families. At the rate they are ieav. ing, tenants and farm hands will be scarce the coming crop year.
