oak two or three of these lightning
marks are seen, evidently caused at
different times.
There must be something in the form
or situation or earth below the trees
which engenders it. An instance is
quoted in Mr.. Anderson's interesting
book of the Church of st. Mary, in
Genoa, which was frequently struck by
lightning, sometimes as often as twice
a year. 1t was noticed that the electric
force always followed the same track.
It was discovered later that the walls
were clamped with iron, and that the
lightning had followed the patch in
which the metal offered the greatest
continuity, destroying the zone be-
tween.
If the ground below the tree or build
ing is hard and dry, the contact with
the earth, in which the lightning ex-
pands its force and disperses, is diff
cult, and the destruction OF the object
struck is likely to result. This may
explain the frequency with which a
blasted" tree is seen extending its
dead arms on the summit of some
rocky cliff or peak The ground below

From the London Spectator.
The explosive force of lightning act
ing on dead wood is not. as a rule,
so great as when living trees are
struck, though Sir William Harris
shows that the masts of ships of the
line, three feet in diameter and 10 feet
long, bound with hoops of iron half an
inch thick and five inches wide, the
whole weighing about eighteen tons,
have been in many instances torn
asunder and the hoops of iron scattered
about the decks" It will be found as
a rule, that trees are struck by light

even If 1.-THE trees and the buildings
are close together. This is partly be-
cause the trees are, as a rule, higher.

That Jasper has for years had one Of
the best high schools in tho community
is no surprise to the people who know
what kind o. material Jasper people are
composed Of. People in and around tue
city have all the time been generally
prosperous. They have built good
homes, enlarged their stores, bough,
more land for their farms, and in many
othor ways showed disposition to stay
where they had built home.
Such condition Of affsirs naturally
has resulted 10 very substantial sccisl
status: has gathered together class Of
people who work together for the com.
mon ends to be obtained by educational,
moral and religious development.
The high school is located 10 the north
part of the city and has hve depart
ments. Competent teachers ara em.
ployed and largo attendance OF pupils
naturally are in eyidepcs.
There are five neat churches in Jasper,
namely two Methodist, Presby terian,
Christian and Baptist. All OF these de-
Nominations have good congregations
drawn from both the city aud couatry.
Another important fact; Jasper has
no saloons.
When the better class Of homesoskers
begin 10 investigate the merits Of any
particular community to which they
msy be attra cted, they usually ask
about the schools, the churches and il
there are any saloons. As already stated
Jasper has good churches and good

good teachers and there are no saloons

tract from the moral training. Home.
