Linhtnlnn EIaahas.

Lightning flashes in a storm are
found by an English observer to be
much less irregular In period than
they appear. Such storms have usually
two foci, sometimes three, from which
the flashes radiate, and the discharges
from each come at regular intervals.
The apparent irreguIarity is due to the
varying rates Of the different centers.
In one storm noticed the two foci were
about a mile and half apart, and in
an hour the northern center emitted
thirty flashes at intervals of fifteen,
thirty, forty-fve, sixty and ninety Sec
onds, and the southern center gave
sixteen flashes at intervals OF seven
teen, thirty-four and fifty-one seconds.
Another unexplained observation Is
that just before each great flash there
is a momentary faint lighting up Of the
sky in the stormy region.

There is always wet paint on an ocean

Book Fer Children.
Charles Monselet, a Frenchman az
letters. published a comic scientific
dictionary for the benent Of children,
who found no little amusement In his
odd accounts Of things IN the animal
world which were perfectly familiar
to them. but which were described In a
rather fantastic way in II. Monselet's
book.
The editor OF certain scientific Jour
nal, however. was much surprised and
shocked at n. Monselet's ignorance
when he took up the book, and he
wrote an article about II In his paper,
which ran as follows:
"a certain NJ. Monselet has publish
ed dictionary for the use of children,
which contains definitions showing the
most extraordinary ignorance. such as
the following:
'SardIne-A little fiah without any
head which lives In OIL
AS IL a lsh could live without a
head and In oil
Another definition:
".Parrot-A bird somewhat resem-
bling the pigeon, generally green when
1t is not red or yellow or blue. Cocka.
toos sometimes live to be a hundred
years old, except when they are stuff
ed, and then there Ia no limit to the
length Of their life
Nov, 1t happens that the parrot Is
not pigeon at all and never has the
colors that M. Monselet gives to him,
and, in short, this NJ. Monselet knows
no more Of natural history than he has
grains Of common sense"

THE MALE OPERA HAT.

Why Il Rises Superior TO Any Passing
Fashion Dictates.
Men generally protest against the
changes Of style in hats, and one Of
the sex has written to the New York
Mail this complaint:
Why attack as a 'collapslbie, many
named pretender'' the opera hat, or
chapeau de claque2
I have such hat and also a silk hat,
in which respect / think I differ from
most Gothamites. Whenever / have
an option wear the opera rather than
the other. It's more convenient.
At the theater or opera you can car
ry 1t better on your between the acts
promenades. If there IL no rack for
your hat under the seat you can tuck
1t in your overcoat and put 1t on the
floor under you without destroying It.
as You would do with a silk hat.
If you put your hat in the rack un.
der your seat and then rise and stand
close to 1t to permit a late conner to
pass an opera hat suffers no damage
A silk hat would be either rufHed or
crushed.
The opera hat looks as well at all
times as the silk hat and requires
much less care. Indeed, / think II
looks better. The glossy surface Of G
silk hat, like the glossy bosom of a
stiff white shirt, IL an uncomfortable
survival of the time when men wore
polished helmets and breastplates.
There is 80 much reason in the opera
hat that men of discrimination will
continue to wear II, the style Of the
moment regardless.
