LIGHTNING and ThundercIouds

In a lecture on "Rainclouds and
Lightning" a scientist explained the ex-
IRENE blackness and grotesque shape
Of thunderclouds as being caused by
electrification and said that occasional
ly lightning goes upward from ground
to cloud. Lightning continues until the
thundercloud has risen too high above
the subjacent ground for the tension
requisite. AS the cloud lifts the light
ning's path becomes more vertical.
Thunderheads may be seen 200 miles.
Window glass has been broken by
heavy thunder. The cumuh rise to a
height of some six miles. then slop over
and form a haze (thunder haze). Light
ming will fall vertically from the ex-
IRENE limit of the haze cloud some
times. though no rain is falling. Light
ming causes the clouds to partially fall
to the earth in showers, and SO itself
causes rain.

Not Buried In q Coffin.

OF the many thousands of bodies of
soldiers who are buried in Arlington
cemetery there is but one, and that an
officer. whose remains were not inclos-
ed in a coffin. The late General M. G.
Meigs during the civil war, and for
many years subsequently was quarter
master general of the United States
army. Some years before his death he
had erected at Arlington a large gran
lite tomb. BY his direction the sculptor
cut place in the center of the big
stone exactly the size of the formers
body. The sculptor was pledged to
secrecy, nor did the general inform any
| one of the fact.
| When General Meigs died, his body
was incased in handsome casket and
conveyed to the cemetery. When, how
ever. an attempt was made to put the
casket in the sarcophagus. it was
found to be impossible. and the under
taker had to remove the body from the
casket and put it in the sarcophagus
with no other covering than the gener
ais uniform.-Washingto Post.

Brass and bronze are two alloys of
copper. The first is composed of cop
per and zinc, the latter Of copper and
tin. Both historically and scientifically
these two compound metals are of
greater interest than almost any others.
Copper was one Of the first metals dis
covered, extracted and utilized in the
earliest periods of our history, and an
tiquaries are accustomed to speak Of a
''bronze age" to express that interval
Of time during which this metal formed
many of the implements used for in

Banana Juice For Bronchati..

The juice Of bananas is recommended
as one Of the best remedies in chronic
bronchitis with insufficient expectora-
ton and marked dyspn9a. A dram
eight or ten times day during the
first days is usually prescribed, and
later the dose can be diminished.

the fruit in slices and place them in a
jar; sprinkle with sugar and cover the
jar, which is then enveloped in straw
and placed in cold water, and the latter
is heated to the boiling point. The jar
is then removed, allowed to cool, and

Fishing Through street Gratings.


In Winchester. England. it is quite a
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings. Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river Itchen, noted trout stream.
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
Of the ordinary street grating. The line
is dropped through and fastened to the
end of a stick small enough to go
through the CRATE. When the Ash is
hooked. the line and stick are dropped
through the grating. and the fisherman
rushes to the point where the stream
energies from under the street and is
there able to recover his line and land
his fish.

Truth.

The cornerstone of character, that on
which the whole edifice is to rest. must
be truth. Be truthful in word and deed
and act, faithful to your conception of
right. and you can no more help build
ing noble character than the earth
can help moving in its orbit. A boy
who has the courage to tell the truth
under all circumstances, even when 1t
may appear to be to his own disad-
vantage. will never do mean. unman-
-ly or dishonest thing. He will not
stoop to do anything questionable. no
matter what material gain it may
