When the brain nerves are
weakened they are unable 70

the exceptions to the rule are relatively few, but they exist. The Investigating committee proposd some notifications of existing practice, in consequence of the discovery. but not an abandonment of the rod itself.
 Tn an introduction to the report Sir Oliver Lodge says that 1t is desirable to distinguish between two kinds Of lightning flash-those which proceed directly to the earth from cloud and those which come down after transfer of electricity to another cloud. The latter, he declares, are the most mis- chievous Against them there Is probably no perfect safeguard except an elaborate metal cage, which would be too costly to be practicable. How ever, some degree of immunity from them and a much larger measure of protection from the others, he thinks, may be enjoyed if building is suitably shielded with lightning rods.
 One of the most important matters discussed by the. committee is the best metal to employ for this purpose. Architects have favored copper, be- cause 1t enables them to use a smaller and less conspicuous conductor than

BURKE IS DEAD.
For Many Years He Had Lived in Hon. duras.

duras.
 New Orleans Special
 News has been received of the death of Major E. A. Burke in Honduras, where he has been a fugitive from jus tice for one of the biggest frauds and embezzlements of modern times. He was State treasurer and interested in many big enterprises, including The Times Democrat, which he founded by consolidating two old, established papers. He was director general of the Cotton Centennial Exposition here in 1SS4-S5. Then he ran short of mon- ey and devised the scheme of using State bonds which had been retired. He would hypothecate them with a bank, and when the obligation fell due, ask the bank to sell the bonds and credit him with the balance over what he had previously borrowed. In this way the spurious bonds were scat tered far and wide. Another method of fraud was in the wholesale issue of what were known as Baby bonds. The total amount of his fraudulent work was S1,777,000. according to the report of the grand jury at the time.
 Burke was in London at the time of the exposure and cabled that he would immediately face his accusers. Instead he left the ship at Queenstown, and, taking another. sailed to Honduras, where he has been ever since Septem- ber 1888. He had large silver mine concessions, but was harrassed in every way. and the frequent revolutions there prevented the development of the properties. When President Bonilla seized the Honduras railroad recently. which belonged to an American syndi- cate, he placed Burke in charge of the road and he was doing well with 1t.
 Colonel c. Harrison Parker, editor of The Picayune, charged Burke with crookedness in the office of State treas urer months before the exposure, and there was a hot editorial controversy with The Times Democrat. of which Burke was editor, which eliminated in a duel. Burke being shot in the thigh.
 Burke was a native of Kentucky. but enlistSS in the 1st Texas Regiment at the beginning of the civil war, and served to the end. attaining the rank of major, and being in charge of all the transportation of the trans Missis- siupi department He settled in Gal weston after the war. starting in as a telegraph operator. but soon built a big cotton exporting business. in which he failed in 1869 He then came to New Orleans and soon became a power in nolitics. He assisted materially in the overthrow of the Republicans in 1874 and 1876 Ills only son, Lindsey Burke. was Killed in South Africa some years ago. His wife died on the Hon duras coast some months ago

would otherwise be needed. The opinion Is now expressed. however. that Iron is preferable, because 1t offers more resistance to the electricity. The principle to be observed. 1t Is asserted. is not to encourage the discharge too much. It Is also believed to be inex- pedient to bend the rod to conform to irregularities in the front of build- ing. The conviction of the British ex. perts Is that there is an advantage in affording a straight path. Inasmuch as lightning shows great propensity for attacking factory ehimneys and go~ ing down inside of them, 1t Is recom- mended that they be provided with two rods, connected with an arch of metal over the opening.
