ficias and with their help, Mr.. Larsen car
ried his researches still further into the
actual makeup of lightning. Photographs
and studies of the light spectra Of the
electric flashes in the air were compared
with sparks produced by static machine.
The conclusions, in line with the century,
old observations of Benjamin Franklin,
show that there is little perceptible diff
ference.
But Mr.. Larsen's spare time is not spent
entirely in waiting for thunderstorms. He
has been interested also in studying the
colored light waves given Off by many
kinds of substances, minerals and chemi-
Gals, solid and liquid. and gases when
they are themselves subjected to light
action. This is known among men Of
science as the f1uorescence of substance,
and, speaking in popular terms, Is not
very different from phosphorescence. In
these Investigations he has been assisted
directly by the United States National
Museum, which has advised him and loaned
him hundreds Of specimens from its we'll
filled cases in the division of geology. The
results which he has forwarded, say the
museum experts. are vitality interesting to
the student of this particular property of
matter
The latest ideas outlined by Mr.. Larsen
to the Smithsonian Institution are no less
novel than the first. He proposes to photo
graph electric sparks reflected in a rapidly
revolving mirror and thereby to secure
records study of which may add ma
terially to our knowledge of electric action.
His investigation of fluorescence, too, he
intends to carry into greater detail by
passing an electric current through SUBJ
stances in a vacuum, which amounts to
fluorescence produced by cathode rays.

varying from the largest three one-hun-
dredths of a second, to the smallest, as
low as two one-thousandths Of second.
There appear many peculiarities Of these
separate rushes which might bear scientific
investigation, but the most salient feature
overswhich meterologists and electrical en-
gineers may puzzle is recorded on some of
the plates among all the bright oscillations
as a marked black rush of lightning. The
idea of lightning producing the extreme
of darkness is repugnant to the actual
name of '1ightning" Yet the black rush
is plainly visible. Mr. Larsen, after re-
futing number of suggestions that might
be made to account for It, ventures his
own theory to solve the puzzle. In dis
cussing the record If a particular flash In
which the mark of the black rush is very
distinct, he concludes:
THE flash must have given out light of
a wave length much shorter than the wave
lengths of visible light and with a power
sufficient to render the portion of the plate
struck by 1t non-sensitive to ordinary light.
Such a FASH he says. would appear
black a partially illuminated back
ground or be invisible"
Invisible lightning, therefore, seems to be
a term perfectly proper in view of the

Not satisfied with ordinary apparatus to
assist him in his work, Mr.. Larsen in

will be handed down to the scientific world
as the Larsen barometer.

The Moving Camera.

V HREE years ago the Smithsonian
Institution received a letter in
quiring for publication. Framed
III in a foreign hand upon q scrap
of paper and expressed in quaint
English it incidentally mentioned some
curious experiments which the author had
made in odd moments. With q small
camera. which he held in his hand and
revolved from side 10 side, he had taken
some photographs of lightning He in
closed a print in his letter and wanted to
know whether his results had any scientific
value.
The idea OF photographing with a moving
camera was novel one to the Smithsonian
experts. and after an investigation these
officials decided that such experiments as
he was making were worthy OF assistance.
A grant therefore voluntarily made
to enable the continuance of this photo
graphing with more accurate apparatus.
In letters which followed it was learned
that Mr.. Alex. Larsen, for such was the
authors name. was a Danish immigrant,
educated in physics, chemistry and eleciri-
cal engineering at night school, and that
all his experiments were performed for
the pure enjoyment of 1t.
With the aid of the Smithsonian grant
Mr.. Larsen constructed special apparatus
for his work. Upon a revolving table
turned by a timed motor placed
cameras In such position thai they would
not miss flash when one occurred. To
secure the photographs desired, the table
top was then reyolved at certain speed
-
The results are Interesting. Where the
fash appeared perpendicular. the negatives
show naturally a broad sheet for mere
streak of lightning. BY calculating from the
speed OF the cameras motion and meas
uring the width of the sheet the time of
the flash is easily determinahle. But the
photographs showed at the. very start that
single fash is not one big vibration. 1t
Is made up OF very many minor flashes or
PUSHES, following usually In the same
channel as the first one. and herein lies the
special value of the work. In the best of
the negatives there are easily counted as
many as forty separate PUSHES, which.
whole fash lasted little over half a
second, followed each other In marvelously
rapid succession. By measurements and by
subsequent calculations Mr.. Larsen deter
mined the actual time between each sepa-
rate rush. The figures, may we'll be
imagined, are almost inconceivably small,

BAD MAN IS TAKEN
AFTER HARD TUSSLE
Councilmen Holiday and Davis
Assist Officer Davidson in
Subduing A. R. Thompson.

Ably aided and abetted by Council
men HOLIDAY and Davis, Officer David
son was yesterday able TO get A. Il.
Thompson TO the city bastile and turn
the key on him.
Thompson, soused to the eyes with
sheep-dip, was in the act of wlping
about half of the population of the city
from the face Of the earth when David
son encountered him at the entrance
of a saloon on Second South street. The
officer had laid a heavy hold upon the
foundation of the bad man s pants and
was using his utmost endeavor to induce
him to "come along o me, when
HOLIDAY and Davis girded up their loiDs
and rushed into the breach 10 the police
man s assistance,
While HOLIDAY fastened a cboke.lock
on the prisoner aesophugus. Davis
paced excitcdlY up and down the curb,
a dozen feet away, and told a large and
rapidly increasing crowd what he would
do If stirred To his worst.
The patrol wagon arrived just as
Davidson and HOLIDAY had reduced
Thompson to a state of subjection and
then Davis, with amazing courage and
presence of mind, ordered the limp and
helpless wretch to "yield. in the name
of the law, or take the consequences. -
Though the councilman did not state In
positive terms the nature of the con-
templated Consequences, some idea
NAV be gained of his sinister and bloody
purpose when it is stated that he held
his good. (though trembling). right
hand In his hip pocket during the
delivery of his ultimatum.
So great crowd followed the wagon
to headquarters that it was thought
there that al least high handed
murderer had been caught in the act.
II developed. however, that both Hob
dav and Davis were willing to have the
prisoner charged with attempted whole
sale assassination. After listening to
the recital of the circumstances of the
capture, the desk sergeant suppressed
a smile, switched his cud TO the other
cheek and said. simply: ''Plain drunk.

ELLEN CAREY ACCUSES
COMPANY DIRECTORS
She Claims Directors of the st.
Joe Mining Company Did
Things Not Authorized.

! The case of Ellen Carey and other
share holders against the Saint Joe
Mining company has been again filed
in the equity division of the district
court. The complaint sets forth that
the directors OF whom complaint is
made: viz, R. A. Hasbrouck, W. S.
Burton, D. n. Wenger, A. ". Mente and
/. R. Barton assuming to act for the
company. held a meeting of the stock
holders February 5, 1907 and passed
| an amendment providing for the levy
ing of assessments.
AT the time of this meeting there
were outstanding 942 900 shares of the
company and at the meeting S19,636
shares were represented in person and
by proxy, Some 635, AGA shares were
represented as voting for the amend
ment and lS4.172 against it. Besides
their consent by not being present and
not voting, The complaint alleges that
notwithstanding the terms of the
original agreement that the stock should
be and was non-assessable without the
consent of all the stockholders and in
spite Of the fact that a very large
number of shares was opposed to the
amendment, the directors wrongfully
declared it adopted and afterwards the
president, r, A. Hasbrouck, and secre-
tary. W. S. Burton, wrongfully filed the
amendment with the county clerk, at
tempting to illegally change the original
agreement. They then on February l5
levied an assessment of two cents a
share and directed the delinquent stock
should be sold April l6.
The petitioners assume to believe that
the directors Of the company will go
ahead and sell the stock unless the
assessment is paid and they asked for
a restraining order to prevent them
from so doing,
