Many persons of both sexes are
troubled with cramp In one or both
OK the legs. 1t usually comes on sud.
denly. and while it lasts the pain is
acute. Most people jump out OF bed
tne cramp nearly always comes on
Just after going to bed or while un-
dressing-and either rub their legs
themselves or get some one to do it
for them. There is nothing easier
than to overcome the spasms. and the
method suggested is as follows: Pro
vide good strong cord-a long garter
will do II nothing else is handy. When
the cramp comes on take the cord,
wind It round the leg, over the place
In which the pain is felt, and take one
end in each hand and give II a sharp
pull-one that will hurt a little. The
cramp will cease instantly, and the
sufferer can go to bed assured that
1t will not come again that night.

LightninP's Power.

Professor Hoppe reports in the
"Archiv fur Post und Telegraphie" a
new example of the mechanical power
of lightning discharge. In storm
that ragged at Klausthal, in the Hartz
mountains, a bolt entering a house
struck wooden post on whose top two
metallic nails one-sixth of an inch in
diameter were melted. No forge could
have effected this; to bring it about, an
electric current Of 200 qmperes intens-
ity and 10000 volts tension must have
passed through the nails. Supposing
that the action of the lightning lasted
a second, the dynamic power thus de-
veloped was equal to 5000 horse power,
but IT, as is more probable, the dis
charge lasted only one-tenth of sec
ond, we get a rate Of work that does not
fall short of $4,000 horse power.
