way. Of lightning.

Judging by accounts In the public
prints. lightning is attempting this
season to show ms much frcnkishness
md variety rs a British prime minis
ter. In n western community n few
days ago II shot Its holt through n
knot hole In II yeranda roof and tat
tooed II few artistic designs upon the
shoulder Of fair young woman. In
another place II tore nn old cracked
hell from a church tower and when
the populace rushed up throuah the
rain 1t found tire breaks 10 fhe bell
nicely welded. A dispntch from a
Connecticut town reports that light
ming there baked NIL the fruit on n
heavily laden apple tree and never
ruined single specimen In the proc
css. Truly. lightning is an interesting
phenomenon of nature and II should
command all the respect we hive left
over from just tribute to imaginative
correspondents.-Toledo Binde.

This photograph illustrator q little
known phase OF falcOnry, one Of the
Oldest of sports. the method Of snar-
ing wild hawks In Holland. This craft
Is pursued, In Valkenswaard. by Mr..
Charles L. Molten, who Is said to be
the only remaining hawker In Europe.
Mr.. Molten, with the aid of two serv-
ants snnres about 10 to "a hawks each
year for Old Hawking club ut I-ynd-
hurst, England.
The hawker builds himself little
cabin or "dug-6ut" with a cart wheel
for roof. resting on poles, the whole
being thntched with sods. Here. hav
Ing laid his traps, he sits watching all
day, taking specia! cnrc that no hawk
sees him enter the hut. else he Will
watch In vain. His Indispensable as
sistant is the shrike, which 10 caught
and fastened on little mound. where
1t gives warning of hawks approach
by Tapping Its wings. Two poles are
set up nenr. the hut, whence cord
runs through the top te each pole. To
one cord is attached a decOy hawk
and to the other q dummy pigeon.
When the cords are pulled, 1t looks
as If the hawk were chasing the pige-
on. This attracts the wild hawk. A
real pigeon, In little s0d-built shell
ter. Is then drawn by means Of
string under a net, half of which Ia
raised. The hawk "stoOps" to It and
when the bird is under the net the
hawkcr pulls cord and the hawk il
caught. Then comes the work Of
"mannlng" 1t. that is. accustouing 1t
to humun beings, and Of gradually
tanning 1t and feeding 1t. The sport Of
falconry Is said to have existed In
China about 2O00 b. O.
