Scientists Give an Explanation 01
 Parker Cructflx Image.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-SeveraI scien. fffic authorities who were questioned as to the possibility of lightning having impressed an image on the back of Abbott Parker were inclined to credit the story in all its marvellous details The body of human being struck by lightning becomes, they said, to all practical purposes negative, and in this state the flesh is very apt to as. sume forms or figures of any objects near by at the time of exposure.
 In this case the young mans coat and underclothing were probably not removed until he was taken to the hospital. His back was at that time sensitive and subject to the impression of any object held near it. It is not unlikely, it is thought, that sister oa charity, the hospital being a Catholic institution, was standing near, with crucifix around her neck, as Is their custom. Tn this way 1t Is not at all i'm probable that as soon as the young mans back was exposed the crucif1x. ion was photographed upon his skin.
 Many cases quite as remarkable as this, experts say, have been reported before, and to students of the subject the phenomenon Is not at all perpiex ing.
 ] Modern electrical experts say an image might be formed not only at the time of the stroke, but even some time after the stroke. There was no cross any e.. but 1t was still daylight when the un- conscious young man was removed to the hospital, and as his back was ex- posed in light room 1t is very likely that the flesh was still sensitized to the extent that 1t could still receive the impression of cruciax from either 8 eross around a nurse's neck or from a painting on nearby wall.

A Trip to Charleston.

Mr.. Editor: The Smith excursion last
week to Charleston was very well pat-
roniZcd by our people, Notwithstanding
1t was busy time with farmers. Those
VINO went all express themselves as.
having most pleasant time. Some of
us had never visited Charleston before
ana saw much that was of interest.
One noticeable feature was the fine
crops all along the railway as we jour
neyed from the mountains to the sea
coast. except in one place of few
miles above Columbia, where they
seemed to have suffered from lack Of
rain.
Historic old Charleston is we'll worth
seeing. The shaded streets, paved and
cool, where modern palatial houses
stand by the side of others seeming q
century old. Its immense auditorium,
lCs wonderful museum, the naval yard
now Duiidlng, that stately old Church,
st: Michael, with its sweet silvery
chimes; then Magnolia, that beautiful
city OF the dead, with it's lake and
lovely flowers and moss covered water
OAKS, amid which gieam the marbio
shafts or sculptured stone, which mark
The resting places of tbs dead. Amid
the many graves of our Confederate
DEAD stands the fine monument erected
ny patriotic Charleston to the memory
- GA "Ao iouSue lOi tlC LOBt cause
Wherever they may be lying. Bless
!ngs rest on those who caused those
noDie sentiments to be graved on that
marble col lumn. With regret we turn
cd from that sadly beautiful place to
gayer scenes.
Then to the wharf with it's hustle of
steamers and boats loading and un-
loading and crowds going to and fro.
There we caught our first view of the
bay as it lay glimmering in the sun and
dotted with little sail boats that skimm.
cd the water like immense birds. On
board the steamboat was merry crowd
bound for Mount Pleasant, Sullivan's
Island and the Ie1e Of He1ms. Su11i-
vans Island, oh, what sad, sweet
memories it recalled OF the sixties,
when Orr's Regiment was encamped
there. That brave and gallant band,
young and gay and debonair then
where are they nOwq Two thirds at
least have answered to "ro11 call over
the river" and the balance are only
waiting the summons to join their
comrades over there. We wondered if
there was u single building standing
nc" that waa thera in the aixties.
None was with us who knew.
AT the Isle Of Pals we caught our
first view OF the grand old ocean, and
we wondered what secrets it might tell
us IT we only knew what the sad waves
were saying. The tide was coming in,
and as it reached it's bounds our
thoughts rose above the merry bathers
in the surf to Him who said. "Hitherto
shalt thou come and here shall thy
proud waves DO stayed"

Jeints early tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Smith brought down several
Anndred visitors, all of whom had a
owaggep time of it and were regretful
10 leave. The attractions at the sea
ohors resort were heartily enjoyed,
especially the novelty of the automo-
lille ride on the beach and the farce
comedy in the Casino. All tte points
Of in&t7 est around the city were viewed.
Many pleasant incidents are being

Nights were too much for them. Sew
