LlGHTNlNG'S MYSTERIES.

Again and again we are compelled
to regard with mingled awe and won
der the insCrutable forces of nature.
The latest demonstration OF these re-
slstless powers TO arrest local atten-
tion was the flame that leaped from
cloud and in an instant snuffed out
the breath OF life OF two mortal be-
ings.
Scientific study of the phenomena
OF lightning is largely theoretical.
The greatest progress has obtained
from photography, because actual
experiments are both difficult and
dangerous. The most common and
the most dangerous form OF atmos-
pheric electricity is what we know
as forked lightning
1t has been calculated that IL would
require "a hours for lOO-horse pow
er engine TO generate an amount OF
energy equal TO that discharged in a
single bolt of lightning within an al
most imperceptible fraction of a sec
ond, which gives some idea of the
destructive force of lightning.
1t is reasonable TO believe that nor
all bolts OF lightning descend to the
ground, especially those followed by
long and repeated reyerberations of
thunder. the forks and lateral branch
es OF which probably are dissipated
In the air. What often appears to
the naked eye and also shown in a
photograph as a direct descent Of a
hvid stream Of fire TO the ground
may be but an illusion due to the
meeting Of the cloud-line and the
horizon. IL every bolt of lightning
descended TO the ground there would
doubtless be much more destruction
by electrical storms, for the bolt that
strikes leaves unmistakable proofs
of its contact
Many theories exist as TO the at
tractive powers of various objects
during thunderstorm. especially
different varieties of trees, animals
and the human body, but the ca.
prices of lightning are too numerous
to fix any definite conclusions.
All that IL is possible to do to en-
hance safety during an electrical
storm is TO be guided by precautions
against exposure that are almost
universally known. but which are not
absolutely infallible.-C olum b us

A failing tiny nerve--no larger
than the finest silken thread--takes
from the Heart its impulse, its pow
er. its regularity. The stomach also
has its hidden, or inside nerve. 1t
was DR.. Shoop who first told us it
was wrong to drug a weak or failing
stomach. heart or kidneys. His pre-
scription--Dr. Shops Restorative
is directed straight for the cause of
these ailments-thesc weak and fall
tering inside nerves. This, no doubt
clearly explains why the Restorative
has OF late grown so rapidly in pop
nlarity. Druggists say that those who
test the Restorative even for a few
days soon become fully convinced
OF its wonderful merit. Anyway,
don't drug the organ. Treating the
cause of sickness is the only sensi-
bic and successful way. Sold by

WOMAN CAUSESARREST AFTER
HAPLESS WALTZ
Defendant Declares Himself Innocent
Until He Hears Convincing Evil
dence Presented by the
Prosecution

While the orchestra was playin
Waltz Me Around Again, Willie,
James e. steers, jr., obligingly asked
his partner to give him her pocket
book as he could carry it more con
Yeniently and enjoy the waltz better
His partner, Mrs. C. c. Wise, complied
with the request and yesterday morn
ing she appeared as the complainir
witness against Steers, who WIS
charged with the larceny of $40 from
the pocketbook. Steers had entered
plea of not guilty, but before the pros
cution had finished its case he witt
drew the plea and stated that he we
guilty. Owing to his previous good
record, Justice Williams gave him q
suspended sentence of $50 days, on con.
dition that Steers would keep away
from dance halls in the future.
The theft occurred at Morley's dance
pavilion, Ninth street and Grand ave
nue. According to Mrs. Wise's story
after she gave the purse to Steers slIe
danced with another partner. Steer
left the purse on a bench at the side
of the hall and disappeared. When
Mrs. Wise got her purse she found that
$40 was missing.
Steers was accused Of the theft, but
stoutly denied his guilt, explaining his
hasty disappearance from the hall by
the fact that he was afraid the husband
of the woman might object to his at
tention to a married woman. When he
realized that the evidence was against
him he changed his plea to guilty.
