TO AVOID LIGHTNING.
Much Less Danger If One is in the
Open.

Nine hundred and seventy-three peo-
ole were killed by lightning in the
United States in the year 1900. Of this
number 291 persons We're killed in the
open, 15S in houses, 81 under trees and
SO in barns, while the circumstances
attending the death of the remaining
Isl are not known. Besides this large
mortality list there were 937 persons
more or less injured by lightning dur
ing the same time; 1927 were injured
while in houses, 243 in the open, 81 in
barns, and 30 under trees, and the loca-
ton of the remaining is not known.
From these statistics, which ara COM
piled by the United States weather bu-
reau, it can easily be seen that of the
entire population of the United States
one in every 10000 is killed by light
ming during the year.

by lightning is to be drawn from these
figures.
When a severe thunder storm is rag
ing the safest place is in thu open,
close TO the earth. If the body is
erect, it acts as an excellent conductor
for the lightning to find it's way to the
earth. For this reason it is dangerous
to take refuge under a tree. Doubt
less most of the persons who persisted
while under trees would be alive today
had they remained in the open. 1t is
also injudicious to huddle under
thrashing machines, sheds or in the
grand stands of race tracks or county
fairs, especially under or near the flag

storm, On the other hand there is not
much sense in going to bed or trying
to insulate ones self in feather beds.
Small articles of steel or iron. as a
knife, kettle or key, do not attract
lightning, as it is popularity believed.
1t is established that lightning does
not strike as often in cities as in rural
districts. The reason for this IS based
on q scientific principle. During q
thunder storm the moisture in the air
is surcharged with electricity. This
electricity is attracted to the earth
When the force that is drawing it
toward the earth becomes strong
enough the electricity follows the east
est path; and because upright objects,
as trees, houses and men, ara better
conductors than the surrounding air,
and are therefore the easiest path, the
electricity passes through them into
the earth. In cities the electricity in
the air is attracted to the earth by
hundreds of conductors in the shape of
sky-scrapcrs and high chimneys. There
are no such conductors in the country
and the electricity in the clouds is al
lowed to accumulate, SO that when it

UNION TEMPERANCE MEETING.

A gospel temperance meeting was
held at the Methodist church last
evening, under the auspices of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
in which all the churches of the city
united. 1t is the purpose of the Tenn
perance Union to hold meetings every
evening during the month of July.
Rev. !. \. Howe, dean Of the Cobb
Divinity School Of Lewiston, and Rev.
Norman McKinnon, pastor if the Con-
grcgatioHal church, were the speakers
at last evenings meeting. DR.. Howe
spoke of the conditions in the county
of AEdroscoggin, laying stress on the
fact that the sentiment Of the people
in that county was so strong FOR the
enforcement of the prohibitory law
that the leading political party after
over 200 ballots, nominated n former
pastor Of the Methodist church of Au-
gusta, Pew. c. S. Cummings, as the
candidate for sheriff. on a platform
which says that the law must be en-
forced.
Rev. Mr.. McKinnon's address was on
the lines of the damage that the liquor

The Harmless Bloodhound.

"The idea that the English blood
hound is a savage and particularly
tcrocfous animal is Il very common
error, in no small part due, perhaps,
to the bloodthirsty stories most of us
have read in Uncle Toms Cabin
1.-The hounds mentioned by Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, however, as
used in the Southern states, were cross
bred animals and related to the Cuban
hound. with Il blending of mastiff,
bulldog and hound blood, and Were
quite savage, and have little, if any, re-
semblance to the English specimen.
These dogs were first known in the
West indies in the latter part of the
eighteenth century, when q number
were imported, probably from Spain,
for the purpose of suppressing thc
Maron insuryection, but the natives
Were so inspired with terror. at first
sight Of the animals that it was found
unnecessary to make use of them.
Until some fifty years ago blood
hounds were often used in England for
tracking sheep stealers, and also By
peppers and herders in all the large
forests where poachers gave trouble
Some idea may be had Of the value OF
these dogs in such cause when | say
that they have been known in Eng
land to follow their quarry across
water. There are many theories re-
rarding how the scent is carried on the
water. but the one most generally &C

gives away it breaks with great force
The country is theatre with but one
exit, while the city is the same theatre
with many exits.
When these facts are considered the
wonder is not that SO many people are
struck, but rather that so many people
escape. The flash will not infiict harm,
as one who lives to see the fire NJ eds to
concern himself no more with that dis
charge.
If one has been struck by lightning
the first thing to do is to go to work
to restore consciousness, as lightning
oftener brings about suspended anima-
ton than somatic death. The condi-
ton of person struck by lightning is
much the same as that of person res
cued from drowning. Try to stimulate
respiration and circulation. Do not
cease in the effort to restore animation
in less than an hour, as you value the
life of the sufferer.
The method used to restore respira-
ton is immaterial; a good way is to
initiate the motion of respiration by al
ternately COMPRISING and expanding
the lower ribs. Do this gently but per-
sistently at the rate of twenty times
per minute. Keep the body warm by
the application of hot flannels, bottles
OF hot water, hot bricks, or in case of
an emergency warm clothing from by
ISLANDERS. Rub the limbs upward, so as
to force the blood to the heart and
brain. Two or three persons can do
this, remembering all the time TO make
but one stroke, and that toward the
body, so as to force blood toward the
heart. Rub firmly, but energetically.
Three things are to be borne i'll mind;
do not give up; keep up the effort to
restore respiration, and keep the body
warm by rubbing and hot applications.
When swallowing is established, a
teaspoonful of warm water, Vine, di-
luted Whiskey or brandy, or VAIN cof-
fee should be given. When conscious
ness is restored encourage sleep.
Do not give up, keep at work and
send for a physician.
OF the visible effects of lightning
stroke upon the human body little more
can be said than that sometimes burns
have been noticed, and frequently red
or markings, which are localized con-
gestions of the small blood vessels of
the skin. These, because of he'branch-
ings and network, have led to the
fanciful idea of photographs of trees.
The effect of lightning is to cause a
temporary paralysis of the respiration
and the heart beat, which if allowed
to continue will deepen into dealh, but
when treated as above described will
generally pass away.
