LIGHTNING BOLTS.
The Safest and Most PeriIous Places
In Thunderstorm.


What is the safest place in tlun-
derstorm? The question is apropos ut
the moment. and L. P.'s London Week
ly supplies some answers. AS Il rule.
the safest place Is inside btiilding
which Is provided with perfect light
ming conductor The conductor, how
ever. must have no defects. II 1t be
broken or have a faulty earth connec-
ton it is then source of grave danger.
In un ordinary dwelling house, unguard-
ed us 1t usually Is against lightning, n
safe place is the middle of the largest
room. where one is away from the
walls. or still safer precnution is to
lie on an iron bed drawn out from con
tact with the wall.
The most dangerous places In the
house. we are further told. are near
the bell wires or an open window or
the fireplace. Outside the house the
places of danger are proximity to walls
and buildings and iron fences. An
other danger Is crowd. The vapor
which rises from crowd tends to
lead II dash toward the crowd. In the
open country one Of the most danger
Gus places is the bank of river. Ave
nucs of trees. lakes and hedges are
likewise dangerous. II any one doubts
the danger of a hawthorn hedge let
him take his stand at safe distance
during a respectable storm and watch
the effect. The lightning will dart
along the hedge like sheets of fire. II
the observer gets wet to the skin. so
much the better for his safety.

Great Men Tail and Short.


A recent investigator has attempted
to show that Lombroso and his follow
crs were wrong In asserting that men
of genius were of small stature. OF
go individuals of emincnce he found
that figures were obtainable for 1903.
of these sixteen were of middle height.
fifty eight above and twenty-nine be
low.
Americans particularly combined
greatness with inches. jefferson and
Jackson were more than six feet tail.
Sumner was six feet -four inches. and
Washington. Lincoln and Beccher were
moro than six feet. Among famous
foreigners Tolstoy WAS a large man,
and 50 were Thackeray, bismarck and
Darwin.
On the contrary, many of the worlds
greatest geniuses were understood and
even deformed. Napoleon. Poe. Pope,
Alexander the Great. Nelson. Blake
and Caesar were small men.
After all is said. genius is no re
.spectcr of rules.-New York American

Those who believe that Roose-
Welt tells the truth should read
the following from his ST Paul
speech. F" rhe bosses got togeth-
aer at Baltimore and put Wilson
through. Then Sullivan of Ill.
and Taggart of Ind. manipulated
the nomination and they were
joined by Murphy of New York.
So you see the bosses ruled the
Baltimore convention. The boss
es of the democratic party were
enthroned in power as a result Of
the Baltimore convention. The
fundamental difference between
the democratic and Republican
bosses was that our triumph meant
their death knell and in the Balti-
more convention it was the bosses
themselves that arranged the out
come, because it intended to per-
petuate their rule
That statement is an insult to
the intelligence of the American
people. He ought to join his own
Ananias Club for it is nothing
more nor less than a misstate-
ment of facts, stated too with a
purpose to mislead unthinking and
ignorant people. Any man who
is as willing as Roosevelt 70 accuse
others of lying will bear watching.
