POWER PLANT RESUMES.
Damage Done by Lightning ait M
 agarn Falls Partly Repaired.

Damage Done by Lfghtntng at Nt-
 aGara fnrYs Partly Repaired.
 NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Jan. 31, At 6:3O o'clock last night the tenn porary repairs at the Niagara Falls Power and Conduit company's plant were completed, and the electrical fam. inc along the Niagara frontier, due to the early morning fire which was start cd by a flash of lightning, was prac- tically at an end.
 Power was sent out from the plant an hour before that time, but it was not permanent, owing to short cir cult which occurred in the power house shortly thereafter and which seriously burned three men, one of whom may die. The short circuit and the injury of the three men came as climax to disconcerting incidents which had marked the day, despite the fact that the repairing of the damage in so short a time is considered remarkable.
 Never before since the establishment of Niagara Falls power has there been q delay of such magnitude. 1t was felt directly by thousands of people in Buff falo, Niagara Falls, Iockport and the Tonawandas and intermediate points. General Manager Huntley of the Buff falo General Electric company is au- thority for the statement that 150 fac tories and business places, including several newspaper plants, were shut down or crippled on account of the fail ure of power.
 The situation in the Buffalo newspa- per world was unique. The Times was printed on the News presses, the Elk press printed the Enquirer and the Courier was printed on the Commercial presses.
 w. B. Rankine of the Niagara Falls Power company said that the early re- ports of the damage were exaggerated. Power house No. 2 was not injured in any way, and no machines, save some in the transformer house, were dam aged The company has cable on hand to replace the TOGO feet burned. The loss is in the neighborhood of $25,OOO. The lightning entered the transformer house directly and was bolt of great ma gnitude.

Although the cars have been running for some time past on the day schedule they have not run after 5 o'clock in the afternoon The local line is the longest out of the city and consequently the last one to be c2ened on a night schedule.

The car which arrived here at 7:10 had the windows broken near the Rye Lots, but whether any other dam age was done could not be learned. Chief of Police Schmidt had q force of policemen on duty and no trouble was experienced on this end of the line.

spider Fancies.

An elderly lady who lives in her own
house at Buttes Ghaumont, Paris. has
discovered that spiders are peculiarly
appreclative OF music. She has made
great pets Of them. and her house is full
of spiders Of all kinds, on whom she
spends her time and fortune
Her proteges are lodged In a large,
airy room, where she has provided ev-
cry necessary support for their differ
ent webs Her great favorites are Inn
mense black spiders, which, with their
hairy legs and great bodies, look very
repulsive TO others.
When she is inclined to show OF their
capabilities for music, she surrounds
herself with a circle of water to keep
Off their too delicate attentions and
plays slowly, softly and in a minor key
on the harp. From ell corners Of the
room the spiders run toward her, lis
tening with evident pleasure but should
she strike up noisy, gay, inharmoni-

holes as though disgusted.
A curious fact in connection with this
story is that the lady bears the birth

When Mr.. Tilden in 1874 was nomi-

Dorsheimer received the nomination for
lieutenant governor. The ticket thus
headed was elected by about $4,000 ma

New York city who usually voted the
Republican ticket took Mr. Dorsheimer
from his name to be a German, and
they scratched their ticket In his favor,
so that he had a majority Of nearly 3d.
600. One day after Mr.. Tilden and Mr.
Dorsheimer had been inaugurated they

The mistletoe comes chiefly from
brittany. Some zoo tons Of the charm
ing white berried plant are exported
from French ports yearly. This mis-
tletoe is TO the Breton what the pig is
to the Irishman-it pays the rent. The
peasants of Normandy and Brittany
cultivate the parasite on their apple
trees-contrary to popular belief, II
rarely grows on oaks-and 1t forms
their most profitable crop. A few
years ago the French department OF
agriculture decreed the destruction Of
all mfstletoe, on the ground that 1t in
jured the apple trees The peasants
however, denied the impeachment and.
as the order is not enforced, they grow
and export more "gui" than ever for
the Christmas enlivenment of English
and American homes.
