And while you are killing a cart-loadi
of snipe I'll be looking for ten acres of
land eligibly situated. The soil should be
sandy in order that the rabbits won't
hurt their toes in digging their burrows.
1t should also have a southern exposure,
as rabbits like the winter sun. The wo-
man said"
That will do. Mrs. Bowser-not another
word on the subject. This family is not
going into the rabbit businessmen this
weei'."
But what's the difference between rab-
bit and snipe?" she asked.
WHO said anything about snipe?"
You said YOU were going snipe shooting
tomorrow"
Never said ANYTHING of the kind. Never
mentioned the name snipe. 1 couldn't get
away from the office If I wanted to. Mrs.
Bowser 1 have observed with pain and
grief that you are getting to be a first
class crank. and we certainly have got to
have a long and plain talk together ere
long and come to a better understanding
than we have"
And then he went out into the autumn
night and walked around. and as he walk
ed he thought, and his biggest thought
was that Mrs. Bowser was kicking over
the domestic traces and must be watched
more closely in the future.-(Copyrighte

NEW KIND OF AIRSHIP.
A Maine Inventor Designs an Aero
plane Without a Motor.

New York, Oct. IA new aero
pianist has come to town, bringing
with him the story that he has de-
signed and built the machine that can
fly without the aid of motor. He is
Alexander v. Wilson of Bangor, Me-,
and so confident is he of success that
he is prepared to put in bid to the
government for a naval aeroplane as
soon as the official specifications are
issued.
Mr.. Wilson has built several ma
chimes within the last dozen years. He
has also flown with them, most of his
experiments having been on the ice
in winter over Eagle lake, near Bar
HarbOr, and in summer along the
shore.
Mr.. Wilson'S latest aeroplane was
built a few months ago, and in one of
his recent flights he says he covered
rose to a height of 700 feet without the
aid of motor.
"Of course said Mr.. Wilson, 81 can
only rise in the air and remain there
without motor provided there is suf-
ficient wind. Therefore, it is best to
have a small motor to rise when the
atmosphere is still, but with any kind
of wind the motor may be shut off and
1 can fly as easily without 1t against
the wind as with it, and control my
machine perfectly"
One of the chief features of the
Wilson aeroplane is movable full
crum, which is under the control of
the operator and enables him to tilt
the moving wings to any desired angle
during his flight. There are four of
these wings, two at either end. the
total length Of the machine being SO
feet.
The machine was shipped early this
week from Bar Harbor to this city
and a public test of its abilities will
be given at the Morris Park race track
on election day in connection with the
aeronautic exhibition and contest to
be held on that date by the Aero
nautic society.

Effects OF Lightning.

Prof. A. Herschel, in the Quarterly

the extraordinary effects produced by
lightning in the midst of an open
moor in northumberland A hole
four or five feet in diameter was
made in the fiat. peaty ground. and
from this half a dozen burrows ex-
tended on all sides. Pieces of turf
were thrown in various directions,
one three feet In diameter and a
foot thick having fallen rs feet from
the hole. Investigation showed that
in addition to the effects visible on
the surface. small holes had been
bored in the earth radiating from
the large excavation.

see how big it was. This is called a
'fulgarite,' or lightning hole and the
material it is made of is glass.
when a bolt Of lightning strikes q
bed of sand, it plunges downward for
a distance less or greater, transform
ing simultaneously into glass the sill
lea in the material through which it
passes. Thus by its great heat it
forms a glass tube of precisely its
own size.
Now and then such tube, known
as fulgarite, is found and dug up.
Fulgarites have been followed into
the sand by excavations for nearly
thirty feet. They vary in interior
diameter from the size of a quill to
three inches or more, according to the
bore of the flash. But fulgarites are
not produced alone in sand. They
are found also in solid rock, though
very naturally of slight depth, and
frequently existing as thin, CLASSY
covering on the surface.
Such fulgarites occur in astonish-
Ing abundance on the summit of Lit
tie Ararat. in Armenia. The rock is
so soft and porous that blocks a foot
long can be obtained, perforated in
all directions by little tubes filled
with bottle green glass formed from
the fused rock.
Some wonderful fulgarites were
found by Humboldt on the high Ne
vada de Toluca. in Mexico. MASSES
OF the rock were covered with a thin
layer of green glass. It's peculiar
simmer in the sun led Humboldt to
ascend the precipitous- peak at the
