And Reynard Retres the Worse For

In q recent number OF German
sporting paper forester describes a
scene which he witnessed in a clearing
In the forest
He came one afternoon upon q big
black cat occupied apparently In the
pursuit of mice, and from the shelter
Of tree he watched its movements
through feldglass. After few min
utes an old fox made Its appearance.
Sinking slowly forward toward the
cat. 1t lay down within a few steps of
it, ready to spring.
The cat had observed its enemy, but
beyond keeping sharp lookout on its
movements 1t made no sign Shortly a
young fox Joined the old one and al
most Immediately bounded at the cat
which sprang aside and struck its as
sailant so etficaciously across It's face
with its sharp claws that 1t retired as
quickly as 1t came. After an interval
the old fox, advancing slowly and
carefully, made its attack, but the re
suit was the same. The cat, splitting
and kissing. struck out hard, and the
fox retired discounted.
A minute afterward 1t again sprang
forward, but this time the cat got
much the best of 1t and was left In
peace.-Lon6on Globe.

Trotter and Thorouuhbred

1.-THE trotting horse is infinitely more
practical and useful, speaking on
broad lines, than the thoroughbred"
said well known horse breeder, to a
Washington Herald reporter. "A thor
oughbred has the speed for burst of
time, but when 1t comes to do hard
work every day, day after day and
all the year around, 1t cannot com
pete, with the trotting horse. The thor
oughbred is rattle Drained, has no
sense. is beyond all control. 1t doesn't
know when to stop or what to do In
a race; 1t simply runs until it cannot
run any longer, whereas the trotting
horse Ia under the control of it's driver
from start to finish and obeys orders
at any time. The thoroughbred natu-
rally exceeds the trotter in burst Of
speed, but in the long run 1t cannot
compete. AS general proposition. II
is accepted among horsemen that the
trotting horse is superior to the thor

LIGHTNING A MYSTERY

Nan-made lightning-that is, cleo

we can artiicially produce-will act
according to certain known laws. IL

ductor of metal.
But flash of lightning will fire.
quent leap from well defined metal
oath and launch itself through the air
or some adjacent object which Is an
Infinitely poorer conductor
This may be due to the almost In
conceivable force of a flash Of light
ming, says a writer in PearsOn's Week
ly. 1t is estimated that fash of
lightning a mile long represents a
pressure of discharge equal to 3,OOO,-
100000 volts.
AS such a fash lasts only about the
thousandth part Of a second the ell
ergy dissipated by the discharge is
equal to 100000 horsepower. Put IN
other words, if we could find some
means of saving and using lightning
we should be the richer by good
round sum for every fash.
Lightning is, as we know, usually
accompanied by a peal of thunder
which is louder the nearer the hearer
is to the point of the discharge, but
this is not an invariable rule. There
are cases on record Of most destruc-
| accompanied by sound.
Such phenomenon occurred at Brad
! ford some years ago. What Is de-
! scribed as "a silent thunderbolt" fell
in a graveyard, destroying one monu-
| ment and smashing to atoms nearly
seventy glass cases containing wreaths
| and flowers.
In the same summer SWanScombe,
in Kent, was terrified by freak Of
| lightning All of sudden "a great
mass of blue fire" swept along the
street, and next moment it was seen
that the fine old parish church, built
nearly 700 years ago, had been struck
| The building, with all its fine old
carved oak, was soon a roaring fur
mace, and only part of the chanceI
was saved.
Scientists are still hopelessly at sea

street like a soap bubble built of blue
fire and drifted into a shed, where il
exploded, blowing the roof off the

his fearful visitant lowered for sever
