LIGHTNING FLASHES.
Many Things Concerning Them That
Science Cannot Fathom.

Many Things Concerning Them That
Science Cannot Fathon.
A young girl In charge of two chill
dren, sheltering under a tree on Chisle-
hurst common, was struck by light
ming and killed-one of those dreadful
instances Of the sort of personal touch
with which lightning seems to select
its victim, for, though one child Is re-
ported to have been thrown down. mel
Their apparently was injured. There
are many instances, of course, of this
strange selection, due in most cases
probably to some accident Of clothing.
There Is q well remembered case which
happened some years ago at Cam
bridge, when three young men were
walking across an open space of
ground, and the middle one Of the
three was struck dead, while the 9TH
ers were untouched. The inquest
showed that the young man who was
killed had nails In his boots, whereas
the others were wearing boating shoes.
The phenomena OF thunderstorms
have been the subject of much study
in America. But IL t~hunderstorms can
be classified. they are still not thor
oughly understood. We do not yet
know what are the exact conditions
which lead to a discharge of electricity
in the form of a lightning fash from
cloud to cloud or from cloud to earth.
We cannot reproduce thunder and
lightning in a laboratory. We do not
know what is the origin of the cleo
IRRIGATION manifested in a storm. -

The Democratic school board
ticket contains the names of two

GOVERNOR WISHES TO KNOW
WHAT EFFORT HAS BEEN
MADE.

Governor Augustus Il. Wilson on
behalf of the state has declined to
offer a reward for the capture of
the assassin of Frank McManus until
the police have exhausted every
clew. County Judge Alben w.
Barley has received a letter from
the governor in response to a re-
quest for the state to offer an addi-
tional reward. Governor Wilson
stated that If the police would make
an affidavit they had exhausted every
clew that he possibly would offer a
reward.
The crime was explained to Gov
ernor Wilson, who said that every
honest citizen should offer every as
slstance without reward In cap
turing a man guilty of such a
heinous crime. He said IL is one OF
the worst crimes that he had heard
Of In the state. and that the mur'
derer should be captured. County
Judge Barley will ask the police
for the afiidavits and will forward
them to the state.
