A curious and not uncommon effect
of lightning is the formation of certain
arborescent or treelike marks upon the
body. By early observers they were
believed to be due to the presence Of
neighboring objects, which were pho
tographed upon the skin. Various ex-
plantations were offered by different au-
thorities. Richardson has shown by ex-
pertinent that the blood is the best cleo
trical conductor of all human tissues
and that these marks are merely the
impressions of the blood vessels on the
skin, due to the action of the lightning
on the blood in the yessels.-Exchange

Preaching MONKEYS.

The author of '.The History of Bra
zip' tells of species of monkey called
preachers" Every morning and
evening these monkeys assemble in
the woods. One takes higher posi-
ton than the rest and makes a signal
with his fore paw. At this signal the
others sit around him and listen. When
they are all seated, he begins to utter
a series of sounds. When he stops
these cries, he makes another signal
with his paw, and the others cry out
until he makes third signal. upon
which they become silent again. THIS
author, Mr.. Maregrove, asserts that he
was a witness to these preachings.
