FEAR OF LIGHTNING.
II 10 Hardly Justified by the Number
of Deaths II Causes.

Why are SO many people. brave I'M
der all other circumstances, so deathly
afraid of thunder and lightning?
1t Is not because lightning is so dan
gerous, for it isn't half so dangerous
as going out of the house on an Icy
morning. walking down the cellar
stairs or a hundred other things we
do every day without a thought of
personal harm. More people are killed
each year by falling building material.
more die from fright, than are killed
by lightning The census bureau shows
only 169 people killed by lightning in
this entire country during a given
year. and only thirty Of these people
were killed In the cities. Heat and
the sun killed 1893 during the same
year, 203 died from cold and freezing
and 1896 were drowned.
But you will find It quite waste Of
time during thunderstorm to try to
ease the fears of person who Is
afraid by telling him or her that the
chances of being killed by lightning
are less than two In a million; they
will remain just as frightened for all
this mortuary knowledge. And after
the storm has passed and nerves are
steadied the woman who was so
frightened a few minutes before will
start getting supper on the gas stove,
smiling through her tears that the
danger has all passed and only laugh
ing If you venture the remark that
twice as many people are killed by gas
stoves as by lightning.-Country Life

Have you ever wondered why the
cowboy pictures by painters who have
made study of western life depict
the man of the plains with his red
bandanna halfway down on his chest
instead of fitting snugly around his
neck?' queried ranch owner of Cali
fornia.
'I'll tell you. When a cowboy starts
on long ride over the plains one of
his principal annoyances Is having to
wipe dust from his eyes. His heavy
gauntlets make it impossible to use
his hands. and he ties his handkerchief
loosely around his neck and when
occasion requires uses 1t to clear bis
eyes. 1t is the most convenient place
to carry the handkerchief while riding
a horse. Washington Post.

Honor.

No profit, it is said, is without some
honor But this has never been defin-
itely settled.
AS yet, however it has not been well
received in the best society, most social
leaders considering is superiluous.
While it is EXTREMITY rare it exists in
the most unexpected places. Traces of
it have been said to be found in insur-
ance companies.
Common or garden honor, IS used by
the plain people. 1t is found in large
quantities in the slums. Some thieves
are even said to possess it.
Honor is product original in the age
of chivalry aud imported to this coun-
try by the Puritans. Since then it has
been trying to get acclimated, with in
different success.

Mental Changes of the Fiery Corsiosn

Interesting and exhaustive studies
have been made in France Of Ma
poleon's photography. When young
man Napoleon did not have bad
hand, although. like some other great
men, he could never learn to spell.
When he was an artillery officer his
writing was simple and legible, as his
life was simple and direct. But when
the Corsican Captain Bonaparte dis
tinguished himself at the siege Of Tou-
Ion and became the French General
Bonaparte his writing took on what
has been called "a furious illegibility."

there seems to have been a gradual
degeneration until, profoundly discour-
aged and utterly Inundated, he
scratched an undeciphera mis-
spelled scrawI of submission to the

1t is said that this change from a

FREAK SHADOWS.
A Peculiar Phenomenon That Has q
Simple Explanation.

In the crude oil producing regions In
California there are scores of large
ponds of this material. After being
pumped to the surface the petroleum
is emptled into depressions in the
earth. where 1t remains for a time.
Later the crude oil is placed in bar
rels. in large metal cans or else in big
reservoirs. These oil ponds are known
as ''sump holes"
There is one peculiar thing about
these "sump holes" and that Is In the
freak shadows" These are real
shadows, but Notwithstanding this fact
they are decidedly "freaky." If the
sun is brightly shining and per-
son stands for few moments on the
margin of the stump hole" so that
his shadow falls on the surface of the
petroleum and he then quickly changes
his position the dim shadow remains
just where 1t was originally cast. In
other words, the shadow does not
follow the substance"
This may seem like paradox, but 1t
Is true. The instant a person shifts
his position his shadow is again cast
in new place. yet the former shadow
remains unchanged. The longer a
person stands In one particular spot
the longer will the former shadow be
visible.
Hundreds of experiments have been
made along these lines. and every time
the same results have been produced.
The simple explanation for this phe-
nomenon is that under the hot sun
gas is being constantly generated
down In the body of the petroleum,
and 1t rises to the surface in the form
of little minute bubbles. SO very
small are these bubbles that they are
scarcely visible to the naked eye. Mil
lions of these wee bubbles are rising
to the top all the time, when the
bubbles break and the gas Is liberated,
passing into the air.
Both the gas and bubbles are so
very supersensitive to the temperature
that even ones shadow cast for a
moment across them is affected. The
temperature is lowered. Whenever the
substance quickly changes position the
shadow remains until the rays again
warm up that spot and the shadowy
outline slowly fades away. OF course
the freak shadow" may be seen for
only a very few seconds.-Scientific

NESTS OF SEAWEED.

Sargasso Sea.

oargasso oea.
Science is beginning to know a good
deal more than II formerly did about
that strange drowned meadow" In
the Atlantic ocean southwest of the
Azores which is called the Sargasso
sea.
1t Is, as Is well understood, vast
accumulation Of kind of seaweed
which, upheld Mt the surface Of the
water by innumerable little air vessels
that act as fonts. Is continually re-
newed by the breaking up of Its fronds
and the growth of the broken parts.
Many fishes have established their
homes In 1t as well as numerous SWIM
ming crabs, small cuttleflsh and quite
a variety of other creatures.
Most remarkable of all Its inhabit-
ants is the mouse fish. which has pee
toral fins developed In such n way as
to resemble arms. By these IL holds
on to the fronds of the weed. a crea-
ture of solitary habits. highly carnivo-
rous and always waiting for some
prey to come within reach. 1t Is a
fish of very peculiar appearance. with
ever so many queer looking nppen-
dages, and In color II initiates closely
the plant that affords 1t shelter, being
green with white spots.
The flying fishes that inhabit the
floating meadow make bnn-hke nests
out of fronds of the weed as big as
two fists. Such balls are found float
ing and appear as IL knit together
with elastic threads. They are filled
with eggs. Professor Louis Agassiz
mistook them for nests of the mouse
fish. but DIR. Theodore Gill, an emil
nent authority. has proved this to have
been an error. Each one of these
nests Is composed of single frond,
which by commencing with the slen-
derest outer branchlets and peellng
them successfully Off can be spread
out entire.-New York World.
