CURIOUS LIGHTNING.
Remarkable Silent Discharges That
Play About the Andes.

! Remarkable displays of go called
"heat lightning" are often observed
along the crest of the Andes and
are sometimes visible far out at
sea. Thunderstorms are rare in
Chile, and this fact may possibly be
explained by the assumption that
the Andes act as a gigantic light
ming rod between which and the
clouds silent discharges take place
on a vast scale.
The visible discharges occur dur
ing the warm season, from late
spring to autumn, and appear to
come especially from certain fixed
points. They are confined almost
exclusively TO the Andes proper or
cordillera real as distinguished
from the coast cordillera. Viewed
from a favorable point near their
origin there is seen to be at times a
constant glow around the SUBMITS
of the mountains, with occasional
outbursts, which often simulate the
beams of a great searchlight and
may be directed westward so as to
extend out over the ocean. The
color of the light is pale yellow or
rarely reddish.
One striking feature of these dis
charges is that they are especially
magnificent during earthquakes.
AT the time of the great earthquake
of August, 1906, throughout CEN
trail Chile the whole sky seemed to
be on fire.
The natives regard these lights as
the reflection in the sky of the glow
ing lava in the craters of volcanoes,
but there seems to be no doubt that
they are electrical discharges.
1t is planned to make spectre
scopic observations of this singular
phenomenon and also, if possible,
measurements of the electrical state
of the atmosphere in the high
Andes, where it appears to have its
origin. Possibly the result may be
to connect up "Andes lightning
with a peculiar form of aurora
which has been observed by Lem
strom over mountain SUBMITS.

Ponies of Iceland.

Icelandic ponies, which are being
impressed into the service of the
Swiss army, aroused the admiration
of the great traveller, Nine. Ida
Pfeiffer. SIN spite of scanty food"
she wrote, "they have marvellous
powers Of endurance. They can
travel from thirty-fye to forty
miles per diem for several consecu-
tive days. They know by instinct
the dangerous spots in the stony
wastes and in the moors and
swamps. On approaching these
places they bend their heads to-
ward the earth and look sharply
round on all sides. Ii they cannot
discover a firm resting place for
their feet they stop at once and
cannot be urged forward without
blows.

One man can handle the gun with perfect ease but the weapon can be used at maximum of efficiency when it is operated by three men. One of the three men aims and fires the gun. The second of the trio feeds the clips of cartridges. The third man does not touch the gun but keeps a pair of field glasses to his eyes and watches the effects of the fire. The man with the glasses stays close to the man aiming and firing and advises him how to aim.
 It has been said, and the statement has not been denied, that three sold- diers with sufficient ammunition and occupying an advantageous position could, at distance of two or three miles, cripple a battalion of the enemy within three or four minutes if the battalion were exposed and un- able to reach cover in that length of time.
 Army men agree that war with
 
 Mexico would be surrounded by con ditions different from those in any way in history. The regular army of the United States, rushed across the border, could, it is believed expediti- ously scatter the Federal troops of Mexicans and from that time on, the war would be in the nature of a
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1913-09-07

guerrilla conflict. The Mexicans, scat tered, would group in small bands, moving quickly from place to place, and contenting themselves with harassing the American troops, ex- cept when a small detachment could
 be attacked away from the larger bodies of men.
 In such warfare, the new rapid fire gun would be of inestimable value to the United States troops, it Is said, for the, reason that small bodies of American soldiers, cana. ble of moving rapidly and striking quickly, could be armed with the new weapon and sent out after the small bands Of Mexicans. Such supposi- tions, of course, are based on the theory that the Mexican troops would
 not be equipped with this type of gun just adopted by the United States army.
 | 1t is also pointed out that the new
 gun practically is useless unless it
 can-be used with large, quantities of ammunition. It is believed that this nation could procure all the ammu- hilton 1t would need in a war with Mexico, while Mexico, blockaded by
 American fleets, would be greatly handicapped by. lack of sufficient am-
 intuition. A

FIX RATES ON CATTLE.

Owensboro, Ky.--The interstate COM
merce commission declared the pres
ent rates on cattle to Owensboro, KY,
from East st. Louis and Chicago, to
be unreasonable and ordered the rail-
roads running between those points to
fix rate from East ST. Louis to Ow.
ensboro not exceeding 15 cents per
100 pounds, with minimum weight OF
10000 pounds, and from Chicago to
Owensboro, a rate not exceeding S32
per car. The decision is on the petit
ton of the Rock Spring Distilling Co..
Milton, Hamilton & Co., and the Ow-
ensboro Cattle Co. The complainants
alleged that the rates were unjust, un-
reasonable and discriminatory, as COM
pared with the rates from the same
points in Cincinnati, Louisville and
Evansville, Ind. The commission de-
clined to award reparation to the Pc
titioners.
