Scout, spy, war nurse, underground
railroad manager, memorable figure
Of the Civil-war period has passed
away in the death of Harriet Tubman
. Davis at Auburn, N. Y.
Harriet Tubman was born slave in
Maryland. OF Ashantee blood, descend
ant of tribal chiefs, she possessed an
unconquerable spirit and immense
physical strength, SURPRISING that of
most men. To avoid being sold
south" in her youth. she followed the
north star to freedom, but soon was
back teaching other negroes the road
she had trod. Rewards amounting to
$4,000 were offered in Virginia and
Maryland for her arrest. sE.s
ss Harriet Tubman was invaluable as
an "underground-railroad" agent in the
north. While in this work she led the
mob that rescued Charles Nalle. fu-
gitive slave, in Troy. Though beaten
upon the head by policemen's billies.
she thrashed two OF them and aided
the rescue with her mighty muscles.
In her station of the underground at
Auburn, with the financial support of
William H. Seward she sent away
many refugee to Canada. Appointed
as nurse to Colonel Shaw's famous
negro regiment in 1863, she soon ap-
peared in new capacity as a scout
for the Union troops. In 1896 she
founded the Harriet Tubman Davis
Home for INDECENT Aged Negroes,
where she herself died at the sup.
posed age of ninety-eight.

that can exhibit such courage, devo-
ton and capacity for leadership in one

WHAT. rs THUNDER-A SIMPLE EXPLANATION
OF THE SUMMER CANNONADLNG IN THE SKY

in large groups are rain clouds and
when these clouds drop into a cool
strata of air they cOndense and form
rain drops.
These drOplets are curious things
curious because they are so small.
It takes 300 triIion of them to make
one drop of rain. And it is in the
making of the drops of rain that the
lightning comes. The surface of ev-
cry droplet is covered with electricity.
This brings out another curious fact.
When you take two balls of the same
size and make one ball of them you
find that the surface of the one big
ball is really smaller than the sum of
the surface of the two original balls.
So that when the 300 triIlion droplets
form the single drop Of rain there is
an enormous amount of electricity
left over after the surface of the rain
drop is covered as full as it will hold.
This great excess has got to go
somewhere else. Whenever there
seems to be good place for it to
go-to another rain cloud or to the
earth a lot of these electrical parti-
cles get together and make a sudden
break for it, making a lightning flash.
They go through the air. so fast they
heat it considerably.
The. heat causes the air to expand,
to become greater in volume than it
was originally and this volume of
air-just like the gas in the gun bar
rel or the air in the bag when you
hit it-has got to distribute itself
over the atmosphere and it starts
doing so with a roar and bang just
as there is a roar and a bang when
the gas is shot out of the gun barrel
and when the compressed air is re-
leased from the paper bag.
That is what thunder is.

BY Albert F. Ferguson.

Blow air into a perfectly tight pa
per bag until it is full. Hold the bag
so that none of the air can escape
and strike it sharply and suddenly.
There will be an explosion like the
crack of pistol.
That is what thunder is!
The scientific. explanation for it is
the expansion, compression and sud-
den. escape of air. 1t is the same thing
that happens in a cartridge shell
when you press the trigger of a gun
or pistol. In fact that is really a
better explanation Of thunder than
the paper bag experiment because it
has all the elements that cause thun-
der. The spark caused by the cap
causes the ignition Of the powder,
forming a gas which pushes the bull
let out of the barrel of the gun and
when the gas comes in contact with
the air, it makes a roaring, crac ding
sound trying to get through, because
the pressure Of the gas is greater
than the air.
The thunder, therefore, is the re-
suit of the lightning.
Now, what is lightning?
We don't know. Nobody knows.
We know that it is electricity-which
is another way of saying we don't
know because we don't know what
electricity is. But we do have a gen
eraI idea of what lightning does to
make the thunder. There is electric
ity in the air all the time. Some times
we feel it more than we do at 9TH
ers-Or at least we are more con-
scious of it being there at one time
than at another. This is due to the
condition. of the atmosphere. If a
good breeze is blowing and the mix
ture of water and gas and dust that
we call air is kept stirring we don't
feel the electricity much.
But if there is not much of a breeze
the air feels heavy and oppressive
and seems to be filled with moisture.

JAP AN MOVED BY
ANGER At THE u. S.

1t has been easy to see, from the
beginning of the California eontro-
versy. that the Japanese position,
however automatically stated, is one
more of resentment of our naturali-
cation laws than one of claim of vio-
lated treaty rights. That is the fact
which gives the situation its most
sinister appearance. The Japanese
resent the national statute excluding
Asiatics from citizenship more than
they would be called upon to resent
treaty violation.
Treaty violations have been fire.
quent in history, but such violation
is not an affront. 1t involves no der
ogation of the dignity of the nation
the treaty rights of which are vio-
lated. while the exclusion of a proud
people from possible citizenship is
such a derogation.
The United States naturaliza ton
law rests upon an cthnic conscious
ness which nothing viii change. That
it is clinical and not national in
sular. or in any way provincial. the
fact that the same consciousness is
felt in Europe is evident.
Sir Valentine Chirol evidently sees
its essence in writing: while Japan
is fully warranted in standing upon
her treaty rights, she will do well to
remember that a, claim to enter a
neighbours garden is not a claim that
can be pressed with unrestricted in
dignation."
Japanese diplomacy can hardly
press the point to one of 'unre-
stricted indignation" as against a
treaty which can easily be arbitrated
as to its meanings, japanese indig-
nation could be more rightly "unre-
stricted" as to a law of the United
States. which cannot be arbitrated
anywhere. but over which a new
treaty would, when adopted, be SUI

NEW YORK, June 13-Small and
irregular changes occurred at the
opening of the stock market today.

on the first sales.
II a. m.-Weakness of Lehigh Val
ley, which lost IA, caused moderate
selling. but the market soon developed
pronounced strength. Covering of
shorts was the chief impelling force.
Noon-Although the buoyant for

was continued for a time today, it
was apparent as the session pro-
gresed that there had not developed
sufficiently broad demand to hold
the market steadily on it's course.
p. m.-Bearish selling let up after
standard stocks had been depressed
a half point below yesterdays clos
ing. Speculation then became stupid
and the list hardened a trifle
2 p. m.-Wfth a probable gain in
cash of $s,000.000 by the banks on the
e-ih as a result OF extensive iiquiua-
ton in the fore part of the week bull
operators were inclined to take on
more stocks, and the market moved
up smartly again.

eral list, but the rise in the leaders
was unusually rapid and traders

GERMAN NAVY HAS
NEW MONITOR TYPE
Fighting Vessel Declared to Be
More Powerful Than Dread
noughts.

Germany, the land in which pure
science has attained its highest de-
velopment, has not greatly excelled
In those branches Of applied science
which go to the making of warships.
The ships of their fleet are no better.
though they are probably in no wise
poorer, than those of the other first-i
class powers That this condition of
affairs may not exist much longer is
indicated in the account published by
an English engineering journal of a
new type of war craft which, if it is
all that it is said to be, will be able
to vanquish the most powerful dread
nought ever built.
The new type lies low in the water,
so low that it makes a target very
difficult to hit. Despite its low free
board, it is said to be very seaworthy
and able to maneuver and to fight in
all weathers. IL fights it's enemy
end-on. At the bow is shield slop
ing backward and made of armor so
heavy as to be virtually impenetra-
BILE. Behind the shield is a single
gun, far heavier than those now
mounted by the greatest of modern
dreadnoughts, using proJectiles that
play the part of torpedoes, and, ex-
cept at the moment of firing, re-
naming perfectly screened from the
fire of the opposing ship or ships.
Naval men in general will be slow
to believe that such a type of vessel
has been perfected. 1t seems to
enlbody the principal features of
the monitor, and it is hardly credi-
Bile that the German engineers have
been able to eliminate the handi-
caps of unseaworthiness and slow
ness which have consigned the mont
tor type to the scrap heap. Low
freeboard renders a vessel difficult
10 hit but its disadvantages far out
weigh its advantages. If the German
constructors have succeeded in get
ting rid of these disadvantages they
have done thing which has defied
the ingenuity of the shipbuilders of
all other nations and have rendered
obsolete whole fleets of giant battles
ships which have cost hundreds of
millions to Observation-Disclosures
