During one OF those terrible storms

consul thereupon journeyed inland To
the savage territory in order to make
terms with the cannibals for future
emergencies.
Unfortunately the chiefs refused 10
listen and would have nothing TO do
with the agreement prepared for their
signature.
The consul was irritated by their OBJ

FORCE OF LIGHTNING.
An Ordinary Stroke Is About Equal to
Fifty Thousand Horsepower.

Fifty Thousand Horsepower.
Frequently surprise is expressed at
the effect of a stroke of lightning
which splinters a large tree or wrecks
a tall chimney, but If the enormous
power developed by an ordinary stroke
of lightning is taken into considera-
ton the wonder will be that the effect
Is so small.
Scientists estimate that an "ordi-
nary" stroke of lightning is Of 10000
horsepower. That is force sufficient to
drive the largest battleship ever built
at top speed. The lightning stroke,
however, travels at a speed of 10000
miles per second. We think we see a
fash of lightning, but as matter of
fact what we see is only the memory
Of fash The electrical current has
been absorbed by the earth long before
we are conscious of having seen the
fash. A person struck by a direct
fash would never see it.
The average electromotive force of n
"bolt" of lightning is about 100000
volts, and the current is 100000 am
peres. In such bolt" there Is energy
equal to 2.450,0O0 volts, or 3,2S4,1S2
horsepower. Some day a wizard will
arise who will capture and bind a
"bolt" Of lightning and with 1t turn all
the wheels Of great city.
The time required for the discharge
of bolt" Of lightning is about one
twenty-thousandth Of a second.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

A leaf is one of the most beautiful

combining the carbonic acid gas of the
atmosphere with the water drawn In

very small that as many as 100000

and in order that they may come in
contact with as much sunlight as pos

toward the sun.
II you notice the arrangement of the
leaves on bough you will see that
nature has placed them so that they
form an almost perfect light screen

Natural Prey, Flying Fish.
One time at St Clements we sighted

pound and half or more would start
from the water and soar an extraor.

but every inch of that fight | knew
was covered by big tuna keeping
his place Just beneath the "fier" and
ready to seize it the moment 1t fell
into the water. This rarely failed.
The moment the fish began TO drop the
tuna would spring at 1t like a tiger,
turning and tossing the spume into
the air with splendid and electrify-
ing rush, maneuver that was re-
peated all over the blue channel
The sensational charge meant that a
school Of tunas had discovered school

on. and the carnage was the result.

at sea, but never have I seen fear so
forcibly expressed as by school of
flying fishes exhausted and at the
mercy of the voracious tunas. | have
had them gather about my boat and
cling to its keel as closely as they
could. while the air was full of leap

such times when a school of sardines

INDIAN DEATH CUSTOMS.
Graves Of the Hopi and the Hosans of
the Navaios,

Graves Of the Hop and the Hosans of
the Nsvajos.
The Hopi Indian believes that the
souls Of all deceased adults go to the
Grand canyon. When a man dies a
grave Is dug. The nearest relative of
the deceased carries the body to the
grave, places 1t In a sitting posture
facing the Grand canyon, erects long
pole between the legs, locks the dead
mans fingers around it and fills the
grave. To the top of the pole, pro.
truding above the ground, he ties one
end of string and leads the other
end in the direction of the Grand can.
yon. At the end OF four days II IL
believed the soul leaves the body,
climbs the pole and with the string to
guide 1t goes TO It's eternal home In the
canyon.
The Navajos, on the contrary, are
very superstitioua about handling dead
bodies. They believe that the evil
spirit that kills the person hovers
around the hogan, as they call their
lodge, awaiting other victims, and a
hogan In which death occurs is never
occupied again. Navajo hogans are
always built with the entrance facing
the east. When a death occurs in one
OF them an opening is invariably made
| In the north side. Therefore when one
sees hogan with the north side
knocked out he may be certain some
one has died in it.-Dillon Wallace in
Outing.
