LIGHTNING AND SHIPS.
Vessels Are Struck More Frequently
Than Is Supposed.

In spite OF the popular impression to
the contrary, ships remote from the
land are seldom damaged by lightning,
although some of the most awe in
spring displays of atmospheric cleo
trieity are frequently witnessed by
those on board of them.
Standing rigging and even parts of
the running gear are now made of
steel wire, and this substitute for the
old fashioned hemp serves the purpose
of lightning conductor when the ship
is not fitted with such an aid to safe
ty. The electric current Is conveyed
down the wire rigging and reaches the
sea through the vessels metal hull.
Damage occurs only if the current be
interrupted on its way down. IN a
comparatively large proportion of in
stances the fore royal truck is struck
by lightning, that of the main less fire.
quently and the mizzen least of the
three.
Very serious casualties under this
head occurred to warships and mer-
chant vessels in the days Of wooden
bulls and hempen rigging. In July,
1902, as thirteen sailing vessels Of the
East India company were trying to
round the cape in the vicinity of Algoa
bay, homeward bound, two of them.
the Britannia and the Bombay Castle
were struck by lightning. The fore
mast of each was soon envelOped in
flames, and the masts had to be cut
away in order to save the ships and
their combustible cargoes. A heavy
gale was blowing, the night was dark,
and the other ships of the feet, which
were hove to at the time, were wit
nesses Of this thrilling incident
Many vessels are now fitted with
lightning conductors of approved types
lest the wire rigging should fail to
carry of the electric current In May.
1896, shortly after 4 severe thunder
storm, accompanied by lightning and
rain, in degrees south, 81 degrees
east, the p. and o. steamship Victoria
had a sudden increase of deviation
amounting to degrees in both the
standard and the wheelhouSe com
passes, and later it was discovered that
the lightning conductor on the fore had
fused. The ship must have been
struck by lightning during the storm

WALL STREET TIPS"

Best Place to Plant Them if They
Come Your Way.
A seasoned Wall street campaigner
condenses a life of practical observa-
ton in the remark: Stock market
tips are, as a rule, founded on moth
ing better than guesswOrk or pure in
yention Although usually without
value, openly peddled out to the pub
lie and not possible TO trace to any
reliable source, they come clothed in
such a garb Of mystery and apparent
importance that there are always 4 lot
of i'll informed persons who will &C
cept them and act on them as on Cos
pei truth
"Often these so called tips are but
the whispered suggestions of some ma
nipplator who was confident that bis
mysterious, semiconfdential hint would
travel and be made the basis of large
buying Of some stock he was especial
ly anxious should be largely sold.
ut is told of one great speculative
magnate Of the past generation that
when he was approached by the pasto-
of a rich and fashionable Fifth avenCe
church in search of means by which
he could become suddenly rich he put
his lips close to the clerical ear and
whispered: Buy Pacific Mail It's -
sure thing. If you lose on it I'll make
good your losses
The pastor departed gleefully. Some
two weeks later he called at the Office
Of the manipulation and deplored the
great financial losses he had incurred
in following the confidential tip
How much were they asked Mr. c.
and on being told he drew his personal
check for the amount
THE minister took it and after eX-
pressing his thanlss hesitated q mo-
ment and then said: But how about
my pensioners? You placed 20 ban
of secrecy on me, and their losses hav..
been enormous

remarked. You see. doctor. those wee

The Arab who has angered 4 camel

Jeanne Kostren.
More than 2G0 years ago a little girl
was born at Amsterdam, Holland,
WHOSE name WIS jeanne Koetren. She
was a peculiar child in that she cared
nothing whatever for play and sport,
but found her greatest delight in max
ing copies Of things about her, imitat-
ing in wax every kind of fruit and
making on silk with colored floss ex-
act copies of paintings which were
thought wonderful
But after she had become very ac-
compEshed in music, spinning and en-
broidery she abandoned all these for a
still more extraordinary art-that of
cutting. She executed landscapes, ma
rine views, flowers, animals and pOr-
traits of people of such striking resem-
blance that she was for a time quite
the wonder of Europe. She used white
papers for her cuttings, placing them
over a black surface, so that the mi
mute openings made by her scissors
formed the light and shade"
Inc car, PeLer the Great, and others
Of high rank paid her honor One man
high in Office vainly offered her 1000
forms for three small cuttings. The
empress of Germany paid her 1900
forms for trophy she had cut, bear
ing the arms of Emperor Leopold
crowned with eagles and surrounded
by a garland of flowers. She also cut
the emperor's portrait, which can now
be seen in the Royal Art gallery in
Vienna. A great many people went TO
see her, and she kept a book in which
princes and princesses wrote their
names
After she died, which was when she
had lived sixty-five years, her hus
band, Adrian Block, erected a monu-
ment to her memory and had designed
upon 1t the portraits of these titled
visitors. Her cuttings were so cor
rect in effect and so tasteful as to
give both dignity and value to her
work and constitute her an artist
whose exquisite skill with the scissors
has never before or since been equaled-
