Thunderbolts are not completely
understood. They are lightning
phenomena, spherical or ball light
ming. They are gaseous beyond
doubt, for when they expode with
great violence. no trace of matter can
be discovered. Their color is blush,
and they appear at once, when at all,
after terrific flashes of lightning of
the darting or Elementary type.
Sometimes the luminous balls fall
slowly, but do not usually strike the
earth. but move horizontally as if sup
ported by the electrical field of force
of the earth. When they explode a
strong wave moves in air in all direc-
tions, and penetrating 0dor of ozone
fills the adjacent space. The energy
of explosion is supposed to be utilized
in the formation of oxygen into the
ozone in the lightning. knowledge
of the cause and real nature OF thun-
derbolts is meager. They are more
plentiful at sea than over land.

SOLITUDE.

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old Earth
Must borrow its mirth;
1t has troubles enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer,
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound
To joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you,
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure
OF all your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all;
There is none to decline
Your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded,
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give
And it helps you live,
But it cannot help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordiy train;
But one by one
We must all file Oh
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

about Oliver Wendell Holmes. When
in England in 1886 he was at o great
reception in London. He sat quietly
in q corner, feeling q little faint, and
observing refreshments in the dis
tance, he turned to an elderly man,
whom he supposed to be a butler or
something of that kind, and asked
for bottle of soda water. The sup
posed servant brought the soda with
great alacrity and remarked: II am
very glad to meet you. DR.. Holmes.

The autocrat of the breakfast table
was naturally taken aback. but quiet
ly recovered himself and said: Dear
me. have not had much acquaint-
ance with princes at least not
enough to distinguish them from
walters at glance"
After that the genial poet soon be-
came the center of q circle of royal
people, whom he entertained for
hours.

THE WISDOM OF YOUTH.

- HE has only turned eighteen.
Not a tear her cheek has stained.
BY no sad and tragic scene
~ Has her happy heart been rained.
But she'll tell you what to do
In the heat and din Of strife
Just as though she really knew
All there is to know Of life.
She has studied Greek and French.
She has read philosophy.
But her heart has known no wrench
Due to grief or misery
So she laughs our woes away.
And she tells US what to do
With our troubles every day
Just as though she really knew.
She has only turned eighteen.
She has merely slipped the sweet
OF life's nectar and has been
Where the clover kissed her feet,
And so we of wrinkled brow
And Of battered heart just smile
When our daughter tells us how
To be happy all tho while.
And We pray from day to day
That she'll never know the rough
OF lifes sometimes troubled way
Or complain of its rebuff,
And we pray she'll never meet
With the heartache Of the strife.
In the sunshine and the sweet
May she read her book Of life.
