How Lightning Kills.

The case of death by lightning is
the sudden absorption of the electric
current When thunder-cloud which
is highly charged with positive cleo
tricity hangs over certain place the
earth beneath it becomes charged with
the negative electric current, and a
man, animal or other object standing
or lying directly beneath comes also
under this influence. II while the
man, animal or other object Is in this
condition discharge takes place from
the cloud above, the restoration Of the
equilibrium will be sudden and violent,
or, in other words, the negative cur
rent from the earth will rush up to join
the positive cloud current, and in pass
ing through the object which separates
the two currents, If 1t be an animate
thing, will do so with such force as to
produce almost invariably instant
death. According to this, a person is
really ''struek" by the ground current,
and not by the forked fury from above
at all.

GEN u, WHEATON. ry. the Generais
fighting record was one greatly to his
credit. He took to the field against the
Cheyenne Indians in 1857 and ms
opening fight was near Fort kearny,
Neb.. where he acquitted himself most
gallantly. He took part In the Utah
expedition and, on the breaking out of
the rebellion, proceeded to his native
State and was made lieutenant colonel
of the Second Rhode Island Volun-
teers: a month later he was made
colonel, and had his troops in Vir-
ginia early in May, SO that they took
part in the opening engagement of the
war at Bull Run. Thereafter the COM
mand was with the Army Of the Poto-
mac in all it's desperate engagements.
In 1862 the commander was made
brigadier general and directed divi-
sion Of the Sixth Corps at Gettysburg
and In the campaign in the Schenan-
doah Valley in 1854, and was actively
engaged In the maneuyers preceding
the surrender OF Lee in 1855 at Appo-
mattox. For gallantry at the battles
of Opeguan, Fishers Hill and Middle
town, Va, he was made major general
and further honors came to him for
bravery in the battles of the Wilder
ness, Cedar wreck and Petersburg. For
his chivalric conduct In these engage
ments the State Of Rhode Island pre-
sented him with sword In 1866.

WORLDS LARGEST SINGLE SPAN STONE ARCH

Early In the eighteenth century a
pilgrim appeared in what Is now
known as Montgomery County, Mary
land. He built for himself hut on
the margin of a creek which empties
into the Potomac river, seven miles
above Georgetown. The Revolution
came and went; the tall, 1.-the figure
Of the hermit became bowed with
years. and his shaggy dark locks turn
ed gray. During these years he had
been hunter and fisher, his only
clothing the skins of beasts. and two
hunting dogs his only companions. He
sought no intercourse with the few
human beings who, straying from the
much-traveled river road" occasion
ally drifted into his lonely glen; but,
to the kindly disposed and the curious,
his manners were ever those Of a
gentleman. He had strong, beauti-
full voice, in which he sang sweet but
sad verses of his own composition, ac-
companying himself on a banjo, or
mandolin, constructed OF rude mate
rails by his own hands. Toward the
close Of the last century he disappear
ed.
The hermit had been known on the
Potomac as John of the Cabin" and
the little stream by which stood his
tiny home is still called Cabin John
Creek" The ravine through which 1t
lows is now spanned by bridge
which for over forty years has figured
in our national history, and bears the
added distinction of being the longest
single arch stone bridge in the world.
Work of jefferson Davis.
Early in Pierce's administration JEFF
ferson Davis, then Secretary Of War,
directed Capt. Montgomery G. Meigs,
United States Corps Of Engineers, to
span the ravine and the creek with a
conduit bridge, to convey to the rapid
ly growing city Of Washington its wat
er supply, from the reservoir at Great
Falls, sixteen miles above the city.
In November, 1852, Capt. Meigs had
begun the work Of designing and con-
structing the Potomac aqueduct. This,
together with the duties Of superin-
tending the building Of the new wings
Of the general postofhce, and the COM
pletion Of Fort Madison. at Annapolis,
occupied his time so fully that work
ON the bridge was not begun until
1867. It was well under way when,
in July. 1860, he was detailed 10 duty
at Fort Jefferson, Tortugas, Florida.

are as follows:

marshal grew querulous because an
item In his accounts, by which the
government was charged with a car
riage furnished Field from his hotel
to the court. had been disallowed. The
marshars grief was made the sharper
since his fellow-marshal OF an adjoin-
ing State had likewise furnished a
carria ge for Field when he held court
within his district, and the charge
had been allowed and paid.
Commonly little attention is given
to these cries Of the wronged beyond
what is required to shunt them upon
a proper oficial-usually the one
against whom complaint Is lodged.
But In this instance Harrison asked
his secretary to discover the truth of
the trouble. Why was one charge al
lowed and the other refused?
The secretary took look into the
riddle and learned that the fortunate
one had been sagacious enough to In
clude the carriage for Field in his item
Of expense For care and transporta-
tion of prisoners" In that way it
was allowed. It used to give Harri-
son much pleasure to relate this yarn;

MANS BEST FRIEND.
He was strong and trim and good-sized

He was strong and trim and good-sized
eur,
a giant of dogs; with soft, silk fur.
Poised head of an intellectual size
And two straight, luminous hero-eyes.
A tail whose gestures were eloQuence;
A bark with germ of common sense.
And this dog looked. upon ths whole.
AS if he had gathered some crumbs OF
soul
That fell from the feast God spread for
man,
Looked like line of the human plan.
There went with his strong. well-balanc-
ed stride
A dignity oft to man denied.
Gods humblest brutes, where'er we turn,
Are full of lessons for man to learn.
That night that he crouched by the yield
ing door,
And two grim, murderous thieves, or
more,
Had bribed the locks with their hooks
of steel,
He fought with more than a henchman's
For sleeping loved ones treasures and
life,
He conquered rogue, and bullet, and
knife.
He saw distress with a quick, sure eye,
And heard the half-choked drowning cry;
\ living lifetboat, soon he bore
A half-drowned man to the welcome
shore.
And when the wife of the rescued one
Wept him her love for the great deed
done,
And fondled him in warm embrace,
He talked with his fondest kind old face,
And said, 81 have shown you nothing
new;
1t is what we live for and love to do.
In lake or river, or sea or bay,
My race are rescuers every day;
In the snowy CULTS mid hills above
My race brings life to the race we love-"
The soul of the humble brute has fed;
The grand old dog lies still and dead.
Oh, man-like brain and god-like heart!
You were made to carry noble part.
You did. old dog, the best you knew,
And that is better than most men do;
And if ever I get to the great just place.
/ shall look for your honest, kind old
face.

Girl Miller of Perkiomen.

On the Perkiomen River, near Val
ley Forge, is a -four mill which has
the distinction of being owned and op-
Grated personally by the only woman
miller in the United States. She Is
hardly even woman miller" for she
is only II. Miss Sallie Freichler, the
girl miller, is her own master entire
ly. makes her own rules, does her own
business, keeps her own books and car
ries on her own correspondence, obey
ing nobody's orders but those of her
customers.
She played in the mill as child, and
as she grew up helped her daddy, and.
half unconsciously and half with
thought of the future, learned the
miller's business thoroughly. When
he died there was no one else to car
ry it on, SO Miss Sallie took his place.
For two years now she has Oper-
ated the mill entirely alone, only call
ing in assistance when there is
heavy load Of rye to be taken in or
a large invoice Of -four to be shipped.
She is at work before sunrise in win
ter and keeps hard at it all day.
And she seems to like the respon-
sibility and the clean dollars her work
brings in. She caters to one Of the
richest farming communities in Penn
sylvania and the community likes her
and helps her to get along.
Besides being thoroughly capable
miller, Miss Sallie has won another
sort of reputation IN the last year and
a half. The farmers round about, con-

There are 1874 cubic yards Of ma

| Some Historic Erasures.
Captain, later General. Meigs was
very proud of this engineering feat,
and always jealously regarded the
work as being entirely his own. The
erasures on one of the tablets Of the
| bridge bear witness to his wrath when,
on returning from Tortugas, he dis
covered that Capt. Henry W. Benham
and Lieut.. J. st. c. Morton, who had
charge of the work during his absence,
had caused their names to be inscribed
on the bridge as chief engineers of con-
struction. In addition to removing
these names Capt. Meigs was success
full in having Capt. Benham ordered to
duty at Tortugas.
It had been Capt. Meigs' intention,
however, to have inscribed beneath his
own the name Of Mr.. Rives, and the
letters had already been traced in red
chalk or paint when he received the
4 ASW6 OA IAI. ANAtCS ACSASh0b4OA anu CA-
listment in the Confederate army. "No
rebels name shall appear on my
bridge" said Capt. Meigs. The stone
cutters orders were countermanded,
the red letters disappeared. and in
their place were cut the words, "Esto
Perpetua," which Capt. Meigs intend
ed should express the hope that the
bridge would outlast the memory Of
the youth who had deserted 1t.
Mr.. Rives, now nearly 70 years of
age, resides at Castle HILL" his fine
was superintendent Of construction of
the Panama Railroad and lis still prom
inently connected with the Richmond
and Danville Railroad. He has three
beautiful daughters, one Of whom is
known in literary circles as Amelie
Rives and in society as the Princess
Troubefzkoi.
| Another and still more widely known
erasure was attributed, until recent
years, to Gen. Meigs. This was the
obliteration. In June, 1862, OF the name

originally inscribed as follows:

Stories of Sir Henry.

G. r. Kennedy, of the "Everyman"
company, is credited by Harper's
Weekly with this story:
On one occasion Sir Henry Irving's
company, having been called to the
theater for rehearsal, arrived there
ahead Of time. AS Sir Henry had NOT
yet come, one of the actors in the
company, who was noted for his ac-
complishments as a mimic, proceeded
to give lively and elaborate imita-
ton of Sir Henry's highly character
istic acting. AS he finished his DEM
onstration, well-known voice came
from the depths of the darkened audi
torium:
Every good" 1t said. every good in
deed! So good, in fact, that there is
no need for both of us in this COM
pany."
It Is also related that brother ac-
tor famous for his pomposity and his
inordinate ambition was regaling Irv-
ing with a forecast of his plans for
the future.

which will answer the same purpose,
and yet without discomfort when con-
stantly worn. The spiral form which
the tube is given enable the wearer to
suspend 1t around his body by means
of the supporting jacket, beneath the
outer clothing, and it takes but short
time to initiate the reservoir through
the mouthpiece, which is provided with
a valve to check the outward flow Of
the air. The spiral coils lie fat when
debated, and are scarcely percepuble

Stories gives new instance. The

deep, from the occupants of the crowd
ed compartments; but nevertheless
they scurried out of the carriage, and
packed themselves away in other parts
of the train.
The smile on the face Of the young
man was childlike and bland as he
settled himself comfortably in cor

a cigar. ~
"Ah," he murmured, "it's good
