There is no end to the possibilities Of
the expression Of emotion with the hand.
Whether in motion or limp. the hand tells
its story. 1t II dincult, indeed, to ex-
press any great emotion without the as

OF hexibility Of the mind and nature and
the readiness with which the mind has
power to unfold itself and see around

How Lightning Splits Trees.

From the chicago journal.
NghtninG makes trees explode like
ovsrcharged boilers. The flame Of the
lightning does not burn them up nor
does the electric Hash split them like IN
AZ. The bolt flows through into all the
damp intsrsticss OF the trunk and into
the hollows under its bark. All the mois-
ture at once II turned into steam. which
by its immediate explosion rips open the
tree. For centuries this simple theory
