LIGHTNING'S QUEER STUNTS

Lightning has been known to play
queer freaks. but streak OF the Jer-
sey brand which struck the home OF
John Alderman in Rochelle Park. N.
j., few days ago seems to have
done more queer things in a moment
than had been done since Ajax detied
the fluid. From removing the four
castors of a table to shipping of the
steel stub of pen with which a
young woman was writing in an ad.
joining house, the zigzagging bolt
managed to disrupt or injure most
everything in its path.
The bolt melted the telephone wire
and hurled the molten metal against
window with such force as to make
mosaics of several panes. the spatter-
ing hot metal so deeply ENGRAVING
itself in the glass that there has been
no getting it out.
One side of the hall was ripped out
and from there the lightning flashed
into the parlor, where broken lamp
and scattered and broken bric-a-brac
told of it's passage through that apart
ment
Then It journeyed to the dining
room, where Mr.. Alderman was sit
ting. The walls, blackened, scared
and bulged out on three sides, show
that the bolt struck the room in
three places, and Alderman is still
marveling how it was that the light
ming flashed all around without ever
touching him.
In the kitchen was an old-fashioned
clock, quite heavy and fully two feet
in height. The lightning removed this
from the kitchen and deposited the
wreck in the dining room. The west
side of the kitchen wall was blown
out. The kitchen floor was blown up
ward The kitchen table was splin-
tered into bits and the range was
shattered into many pieces.
A young woman next door was wri-
ting letter and her pen-point disap.
peared as the bolt shook the place
Yet, strange to say, although there
were four persons in the house at the
time not one of the occupants suf-
fered any injury from the freaklsh
bolt, other than the shocked surprise
that would be expected on such an
exciting occasion.

0RANG- 0UTANG NEAR HUMAN

A curiosity recently arrived in San
Francisco from Hong Kong in the
shape OF an orang-outang. which is
called Mary, and is as near human as
1t is possible to be without talking
She is nearly three feet high when
erect. but she favors a sitting posture
and looks about her In the wisest kind
of way. Her skin is black. and the
entire body and head are covered with
short, dark reddish hair, that ia NOT
over-thick on any one part, while the
extreme length on the back is less
than one inch. Mary is of a clean1v
as well as industrious disposition
Twice day she has a good wash A
tub of water. soap and a towel are
giver her. and she handles the soan
with an expert hand. afterward polish
ing off with the towel. When she IS
through she wrings out the towel and
hangs 1t up to dry. On the VOYAGE
from China. Mary was once given a
tubful of towels from the wash and
she carefully wrung out every one
and hung them on the clothesline with
the neatness and dispatch OF an ex.
perienced washerwoman.

of the head, the front part of which
is prolonged into a snout or proboscis,
In some species this snout is short
and stout and in others 1T is long,
slender and wire-like. In the females
of some of the nut weevils it is longer
than the rest of the body. The mouth,
which is armed with a minute but
strong pair of jaws, Is situated on the
apex of the snout and the appendage
Gus kinds of plant tissue to obtain
food and to provide an. opening in
which to deposit eggs.
Chestnuts are frequently gathered
that appear sound at first, but within
ten days or two weeks thereafter be-
come excessively "wormy." Where
these worms" come from has often
been a matter of conjecture on the
part of those who handle nuts 1t is
a common belief that they originate
from the sting" of some insect ad-
ministered at the time the trees are
in bloom. AS a matter of fact, they
hatch from eggs that are in the nuts
at the time the nuts are gathered.
Most of these eggs are deposited by
this chestnut weevil short time pre-
vious to the dropping of the nuts
from the trees.
The common acorn weevil is the
largest of the weevils attacking
acorns. In size it is similar to the
hickorynut weevil but in color it more
nearly resembles the larger chestnut
weevil. The spots on the back are
smaller than in the latter species,
however, and are not so bright and
conspicuous. The snout is very slen-
der and is curved at the point In

group an important one from an eco
nomic standpoint
Nuts are attacked by a great va
riety of insects, but the most serious
injuries are done by moths and snout
beetles. The larvae of several species
of moths may be found in chestnuts,
beechnuts and acorns, particularly in
nuts that have their shells broken
so as to permit easy entrance to the
kernel by the insects. The damage
wrought by the class of insects known
as snout beetles, however is greatly
In excess of that done by all other
kinds combined
The term "snout beetle" is applied
to the adults of the group of insects
on account of the peculiar structure

SNAKE is BABY'S MASCOT

The following story, taken from a
Purulia Qndia) paper, has the flavor
of the Arabian Nights:
"A child was born to a Brahman in
the village of Shapur six months ago,
and since the very date of birth a
serpent has been a constant attendant
on the babe. One day the reptile was
caught and thrown in the river. At
night the Brahman heard the serpent
say to him In a dream, If you kill
me l shall completely destroy your
family. II you do not, | shall not
harm you. but, on the contrary. do
you good Since this oracle from the
serpent the Brahman and the mem
bers Of his family have left 1t alone.
when the child is on the ground
asleep or awake the serpent spreads
its hood over It's head like an UNI
brella- When the child is on the bed
the reptile quietly lays itself down
under the cot. Once the child's
mother took the child to the house of
a relation near The father was fol-
lowing her with an umbrella under
his arm. On opening the umbrella he
saw that the serpent was inside 1t.
He threw 1T away, but 1t forthwith
returned to his house.
The serpent is still there. The
Brahman gives the reptile milk twice
a day, which he drinks"

The forests of West Virginia are
rich In native nut-bearing trees and
shrubs. At least twenty-seven species
are found that bear nuts which are
used as food by man or by the animals
that are of value to man. The nut
bearing trees furnish also the bulk
of hardwood timber that Is produced
in the state.
With the probable exception of the
beechnut, all the more common varie-
