The Damage Of Lightning.
from the London Spectator.

TIom tuc ADuuOu cpcctutOr
Mr.. Hands has compiled a chart show
ing the places known to have been struck
in the years ls97-10Oe. and on the chart
he has had to mark 1913 different spots.
and to chronicle damage done to 211
cathedrals. churches and chapels; $3.50
other buildings Of various kinds: 228 ricks
and stacks; 1,251 trees. and 1893 other
objects: while 194 persons have been
killed and 1.O16 injured, and there have
been 1907 cases in which animals have
been killed, these being either single
creatures or several killed by one stroke.
There have been as many as forty-nine
sheep struck dead In a single flock. The
monetary loss is estimated at $3.50, 900 to
$JOO,OOO per annum, but obviously the
moral and intellectual damages are the
more serious.
when a thunder storm occurs a stress
Is thrown on the air. either between two
clouds or between q cloud and the earth.
and when this stress has reached a
pressure Of about half a gramme weight
to the square inch. smash goes the air
II Is literally cracked. The line OF the
fracture Is illuminated by the intense
heat caused. rendering the air-particles
fncandescent, and we see this and call
II lightning. This is all lightning Is:
there Is no bolt and no transference OF
matter from one place to another To
speak or write of an object as being
struck by lightning is calculated to
produce a wrong impression. because 1t
conveys the idea OF q ponderable object
giving a bow. 1t Is literally an incor-
rect term. but We are forced to employ
II because 1t has been long In use"
A very interesting example of the effect
upon lightning Of the presence of points
Is the Temple of Solomon, Josephus tells
US that the roof was ornamented with
points covered with gold: the points,
probably. were intended to prevent birds
from settling and so soiling the roof. But
the unattended effect was that the temple
was perfectly protected from lightning,
and I'm a country In which thunderstorms
are severe and frequent IL stood undam-
aged for a thousand years. When the
Roman emperor tried to rebuild Il, .leav-
ing out the points and the gold, II was
STRUCK" at once.

Special CORRESPONDENCE OF The Star.

ROCKVILLE. Md, September 3, 1910.
The closing day Of the Rockville fair
yesterday was marked by an afternoon
Of first class racing, and the sport was
enjoyed by what was probably the larg-
est crowd that ever attended on the final
day. The program included four harness
races. three of which-the free-for- all trot
or pace, the 21S trot and the 2.17 pace
were postponed from Thursday on &C
count Of rain, and q running event.
The free-for-all, which was the first
event OF the day. was captured by a
Washington horse. Manuella. which won
in straight heats in apparently easy
fashion. DR.. Chase, also owned in WASH
ington, was an easy second. Ed BALI and
Sam Lee got the flag in the first heat.
Country Boy, admirably driven by Clay
ton Fahrney Of Washington, won the 2. Is
trot. Bedworth. jr.. took the second
heat, but was never dangerous after that.
Probably the best race Of the four days
was the Eli pace. which required six
heats to decide. 1t was finally won by

heat.

AN INVESTIGATION
By The CHURCH
A Church Commission viii investigate
the Conditions at the South Bethle-
hem, Pa, Steel Works and Their Find
inss Presented to the Churches in
America.
10y The Rev. Charles stelzIe.)

The Industrial situation in the Steel
Works at South Bethlehem. Pa, is to be
Investigated by the Social Service Com
mission Of the Federal Council OF the
-hurcLes OF Chris; in America, which
church comprises the united Protestant
forces In the United States, having eight
cen million members and constituency
OF nearly forty millions. The resolutions
vita regard TO the appointment Of the
Social Service Commission and an outline
OF its duties was published in the labor
press some time ago. and it will be re-
membered that reference was made to it
in the address which gave at the last
convention OF the American Federation of
Labor at Toronto.
This investigation is the first of its
kind that has ever been undertaken by
any church body. 1t will have to do very
largely with the moral and ethical prin-
ciples involved in this controversy, but
1t will also investigate quite fully the
economic conditions which have brought
about the present situation. The report
of the Commission will be presented TO
the churches throughout the United
States and 1t will serve as basis for
future action with regard TO industrial
controversies.
1t can no longer be said that the church
is not interested in the everyday affairs
of the workingman. This does not meau
that It will always endorse the position
of the laborer. but when he is right, the
church should stand by him in his con-
troversy and help him TO win his battles.
The committee appointed to make the
South Bethlehem investigation cons.sts
of the Rev. Charles Sickle, Secretary OF
the Social Service Commission; DIR. Jo-
siah Strong, President of the American
Institute for Social Service and Paul U.
Kellogg, Director of the Pittsburg Survey.

LAKE STRIKE DEVELOPMENT.

The Pittsburg Steamship Company
better known as the Steel Trust heet
has dispensed with cash payment OF
wages on it's steamers and now uses
checks. The change was made on a.
count OF the difficulty they are having
TO hold the men and boys brought in 10
take the place of the seamen who are
on strike.
The purpose is 10 make 1T difficult Tor
the strike-breakers to secure cash, 4.
having been found that as soon as mos,
of them got trips wages they very
promptly leave the ships.
The company evidently figures that
without cash and in a strange port the
men will hesitate to quit, except during
banking hours, and that they can be pre-
vented from that by Withholding the
checks until after hours.
The Steel Trust fleet is the controlling
factor in the Lake Carriers Association
which now has agents throughout the
country looking for men to replace the
strikers. They have failed TO get any
thing like n sufficient number of expert
enced seamen and are bringing In In
experienced men and boys. They are
having a busy time because an evarage
of over 1000 men are leaving the Lake
Carriers ships each week.
The strike situation is regarded as
favorable by the union men.
