Nature Thoughts.

Leaving the shore, I walk among the
trees. A cloud passes, and the sweet
shert rain comes, mingled with sun
beams and fower-seented air. The
inches sing among the fresh green
leave of the beeches. Beautiful 1t is,
IN summer days, to see the wheat
wave, and the long grass foam-fiecked
OF flower yield and return to the
wind. Ny soul of itself always desires;
these are to it thought. I know that
there is something infinitely higher
than deity. The great sun burning in
the sky, the sea, the firm earth, ali
the stars Of night, are feeble, all. all
the osrno is feeble; it is not strong
enough to utter nay prayer-desire. My
soul cannot reach to its full desire Of
prayer. / need no earth or sea or sun
to think my thought. If nay thought
part-the psyche-were entirely sepa-
rated from the body and from the
earth, l should of myself desire the
same. In itself nay soul desires; my
existence, my soul-existence, is in itself
my prayer, and, SO long as it exists,
so long will it pray that I may have
the fullest soulIife.-Richard Jefferies.

Transit station at Princess Bay to the

which are situated about two miles

morning, many of the employees agree,
but at night when they are tired out
from hard days work, or on a
stormy day, it is not the pleasantest
thing. The company has been appeal
ed to, and it is said they will shortly
start to build the railroad. This
would be just what the employees
would like, and even if certain
amount of fare was charged every
month, it is not likely that many of

UTENSILS OF QUARTZ.
Manufactured in Germany from
Molten Rock.

A German technical factory, which
has been making expensive experiments
with high temperatures, has produced
utensils made of molten quartz, reports
an industrial journal
After the melting was done the manu-
facture of bottles, glasses and other ar
ticles was not much different in
method from that used for making glass
articles.
The objects made from molten quartz
are flashing and clear, with the effect
Of diamonds. They are not brittle as
glass, and have the further advantage
of not being affected easily by heat or
cold.
Glass articles, as everybody knows,
from sad experience, will crack if hot
liquids are poured into them when they
are cold, or vice versa. Quartz articles,
however, can be heated to cherry red,
and then ice-cold water can be squirted
on them without affecting them in the
least
This is due to the fact that quartz nei-
ther expands nor shrinks much under
changes of temperature.

The prejudice against automobiles,

stories of the road race accidents
abroad, and the manager of one big
English casualty insurance company
has since refused to issue any more
policies to owners of machines 1--WE

per cent. of our accident claims were
in some way connected with autos,
and, although we were insuring own
ers against damages to the extent of
SIS, 900 on each machine we had finally
to give up such insurance altogether.
The owner of one machine had three
suits Instituted against him in six
weeks. We have to defend them and
pay if the plaintiff wins. There is one
consolation for us. and that is that

AN ELECTRICAL STORM.
Reports than Lightning Struck in Several
Places Could not be Verified.

A fierce electrical storm struck this
borough yesterday afternoon. 1t start
ed in with heavy clouds and gust of
wind that drove the dust of the streets
ahead of it in clouds. AS the clouds
started over the bay they formed per-
feet pictures of mountains and vast
plain where horse and rider was
hurrying rapidly across it.
After those clouds drifted away the
lightning began to fash and the
thunder to roar, the wind still blow
ing, and then came the rain in great
drops, slowly at first, but gradually
increasing in violence until it sent
people running for shelter A great
many were caught out on the docks
and a number were completely
drenched.
If the stories are true a number of
places were struck by the lightning,
but 1t may be that many saw the
light, which appeared like an immense
sheet of flame to some and as ball
Of fire to others, settle on the different
places, a house, barn, flag pole, a
y Lightning rod, and an iron wheel on
the old dock, all Of which were said
to have been struck, besides box car
of freight train standing between
David and Augusta streets, and hear
ing the crash of thunder that follow
ed, they all thought that they had
seen the places struck. 1t can hardly
be possible as there were only few
very hard claps. The big downpour
was followed by pretty rainbow and
then people began to come out of their
houses and exchange opinions regard
ing the two heavy strokes. 1t appear
ed that very many mad been greatly
frightened and thought it may have
been their own house that was struck.
