Lightning Flashes.

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 frregularity Is due to the
varying rates Of the different centers
In one storm noticed the two foci were
about mile and a half apart, and in
an hour the northern center emitted
thirty flashes at intervals Of fifteen,
thirty, forty-flve, sixty and ninety sec
onds, and the southern center gave six
teen flashes at intervals Of seventeen
thirty-four and fifty-one seconds. An
other unexplained observation is that
just before each great flash there is
momentary faint lighting up Of the
sky in the stormy region.

Of a martyr. And SO it goes.

Mr. Smith or James B. Walker Of
Minneapolis owns most. 1t is ques-
ton of which is entitled to the title of

When the vast woods Of Minnesota
and Wisconsin began to disappear Mr..
Smith led the way to the wooded slopes
Of the Pacific, where he now owns more
millions Of standing trees than his mills
can convert into lumber during his life
time. And he is we'll aware Of this
fact He admits it, and is buying more
every week. almost every nour. He de-
ciares he will never sell a single acre
Of timber land. His aim is to secure
enough standing timber so that his sons
and their sons and grandsons may
make planks and shingles from the
family forests long after the rest Of the
North American continent has been de-
nuded.
In 1878 Mr.. Smith married Johanna
Anderson, whose parents came from
Wermeland, Sweden. They have five
children.

school a little, and then entered Pills
bury's hardware store. Finally Smith
went into the store business himself,
with Pillsbury as his partner. 1t was
at Herman, Mimi, ana they sold grain,
lumber and farm implements. Every
year the young man was gaining bust
ness wisdom, putting more money away,
and becoming Americanized.
In few years the country store was
too small for his activities. He went
back to Minneapolis, and the first Of

Belgium ShOpkeepers.

Belgium shopkeepers generally are
dealers in miscellaneous goods. One
man IN a small way, for instance, sells
beer, foreign stamps, fruit, cotton, bis
cults, penknives, cheese and second
hand hair. Everywhere one finds a
mania for glaring lights. One evening
when / was out l saw a tremendous
light in the distance. and I thought it
must surely be an advertisement for a
music hall. When l got nearer. found
that the light merely conveyed the in
telligence that sardines were sold on
the premises.
