DUBLIN, Ireland, July 26.-The Sim
Feiners have now invaded the consttu-
ency of John Dillon. toward whom they
were hitherto supposed TO entertain more
friendly feelings in consequence OF his
efforts after the rebellion TO check the
executions. Countess Marcievicz. De Va
lera, NJ. P. and Darrell Figiss held a
large meeting with bands and banners
opposite Dillon's house in Ballaghander-
reen, East Mayo. De Valera repudiated
the charge that the Sim Feiners are pro-
German and declared that they are no
more anarchists or revolutionists than
was O'Connen when he won Catholic
emancipation. They believed that IL the
Irish party came home from the house
of commons the empty benches would
speak more eloquently to the world than
either Dillon or Redmond.

A new device has appeared on the

from Belgium. Formerly during thun-
derstorms the electric current used to
be switched off, but now the German
military authorities fear that this gives
deserters a good chance to escape. So.
to safeguard the fence from being
struck by lightning, small kite-shaped
balloons are fixed at intervals as light
ming conductors. Sometimes these kites
are struck by lightning and explode.
sometimes children try to catch the toy
and get badly burned.
