Protection From Lightning.

1t appears that the London Meteo-
rological Society, from facts gathered
in that country, has even a higher
appreciation of the matter Of pro-
lection against lightning that we
have in this country, and in England
the lightning rod is in nearly univer-
sal use. 1t is stated that thunder
storms have been very severe there
this year and that the loss of cattle
and sheep from lightning has been so
great that farmers are equipping
large trees with the metal rods. The
casualties to animals are due mostly
to the fact that during thunder
storm they usually gather beneath
the branches of an isolated tree. THE
explanation of the mischief is very
well known says Professor Attfield,
the well known English authority on
meteorological matters. A tree is a
conductor of lightning, but not a
very good one. In the absence of a
better channel the lightning will flash
through it, but there is always a
chance of its glancing aside to any
medium that affords a better passage.
Now the body of man or an animal
constitutes a much better conductor
than tree does, and consequently
the electricity, whenever it has an op-
portunity of doing so, will leave the
tree and fash through the animal
body. The same thing will often oc-
cur when the lightning, passing
downward through the tree, reaches
point at which reader passage is
presented by some adjacent build.
ing" The full volley is DETECTED
from the tree into the building.-In-

after my granddaughter of about seven
years had been cured of the measles, she
was attacked about fortnight later by a
furious itching and painful eruption all

Nothing would help. We tried the Cuti-

we noted considerable improvement, and,

Cumberland, Md William Burns,
negro, who shot Policeman August
Baker, causing his death, was taken
from Jail here by an Infatuated mob
and kicked and shot to death.
AS there has never before been a
lynching here the authorities paid no
attention to threats of lynching in
this case, and when mob of fifty
men approached the Jail early they
found only one. deputy sheriff, Adam
Hendley, to oppose them. When he
refused to give up the keys they bat
tered the door in with telegraph
pole
Burns shot the policeman to pre-
vent being arrested, and the latter's
death was followed by threats against
the negro, these coming as much
from those of his own race as from
the whites
When the mob broke into the Jail
other negroes than Burns, who were
in neighboring cells, were careful 10

and down stairs and into the street,
where within few yards of the en-
trance to the Jail he was killed.
The Rev. w. Cleveland Hicks, an
Episcopal clergyman, did his best to
save the negro, and afterward pro-
