Lightning And Churches.

Some unbellevers, who have
lost their religious faith, appear
sometimes to marvel at the fact
that nine-tenths Of the buildings
struck by lightning are churches.
According to Prof. Ogg. teacher
OF physics at the Manual Train
ing High School. this phenome-
non is due to the comparatively
greater height of the church
structures than the surrounding
buildings.
During an electrical storm
every cloud las to a certain ex.
tent q charge of electricity in
it," stated Mr.. Ogg. And
when this cloud falls 80 low that
the attraction Of the charge on
high structures pulls the electri.
city from the cloud. there issues
a powerful stroke Of lightning
the destructive effects Of which
are well known. Any other ex.
PLANTATION of the phenomenon,
in my opinion. is made only by
individuals who do not under
stand the elements and behav-
ior Of electrical disturbances. >

STATE Wins
DEBATING CONTEST.
Defeats Transylvasia and Becomes
Winner Of Ky Championship.
Oar Men Supported Well.

lucky Inter collegiate Debating
Association was won by debating
team of the State University of
Kentucky when the Transylva-
MIA University team was defeat
ed by vote of four to one in the
debate Pennsylvania. Friday
night. on the subject Resolved
that there should be a permanent
tariff board with power to collect
and publish information on the
tariff and to originate all bills for
tariff laws, constitutionally gran
ted.
The team which was composed
Of J. |. Miller of Lexington; Fred
T. Shultz, Of Narrows. KY, and
n. Gray Rochester Of Marion.
KY, was far superior to the op-
posing team in all points of de-
batting, and Notwithstanding the
fact that it had the affirmative
side of tine subject. and. there
fore, had to bear the burden Of
the proof, it had a long lead on
the Pennsylvania debaters at all
stages of the debate. The men,
bers Of the Pennsylvania team
were John Christopher, of Hat
ton. Wis. Richard Hebron. of
San Diego. Cal. and W. F.
O'Connell Of Falkland. Texas.
In the first speech Mr. Miller
showed in a general ay the
great and most apparent evils
connected with the present sys-
TEN Of legislation and pointed
out the ways in which the sys-
TEN under discussion would rem
edy these evils. He showed
that the Ways and Means Com
mittee. which now makes the
tariff investigation and frames
the tariff bill, could not. with it's
limited facilities, frame tariff
bills that were to the best inter-
est of the people even il it were
not dominated by party politics,
as he also showed that it is. He
also showed the manner in which
the proposed board would be able
by putting all of its time on tar
il questions, and by publishing
the information that it collected
to educate tho people. concerning
tariff questions, and by original
ing the bills to get the correct
tariff measures before the legis-
lature.
The first speaker on the mega
tive read a lsng speech, in which
he took a great deal of time ex.
planning that the negative did
not have anything to prove, but
only had to show wherein the
theory Of the affirmative was
lacking. He failed to do that.
Mr.. Shultz, the second speak
er on the affirmative took up in
detail the working of the propos-
ed board. and the details Of how
tariff bills are now handled in
the legislature. He dwelt upon
the present evils of log-rolling,
party domination, financial influ-
ences, and corporation control.
He also contrasted the American
tariff legislation with that Of
Germany. where a permanent
board 10 in charge of legislation.
The third speech of the affirm
alive, by Mr.. Rochester, took up
in detail the workings of the pro-
posed board and showed in what
manner it would eliminate the
the evil legislation that was men.
toned by his colleagues. The
summarizing portion Of Mr..
Rochester, made the whole Ar
gument Of the affirmative into
one complete and systematic
argument,

tive dealt only with generalities
