Persons OF Adventurous Disposition
Have Spent Them Amid Arctic
and Savage Dangers.

Mr.. Elkins, the wealthy young
American who recently took his bride
for a honeymoon "as near the North
pole as he can comfortably get" is
by no means the first bridegroom who
has spent his month of honey" in
this chilly environment, says London

reindeer and polar bears, two of which
fell to the brides own gun. Mrs.
Flefschmann's honeymoon wardrobe,
we are told, consisted of an assert
ment of sheepskin dresses, lined with
leather
Less chilly, but no less adventurous,
was the honeymoon journey of Major
Powell-Cotton, who took his bride on
a long and hazardous journey through
Africa, spending many months in the
heart of the Ituri forest, hunting the
okapi and making friends of the saw
age pigmies, who had never before
even seen a white woman.
But the most daring and adven-
turous of all recorded honeymoons
was that of Captain Andrews, an
American sailor, and his bride. who
started to cross the Atlantic in a
"cockleshell," II feet long, and were
never seen again.

Vermont's Biggest Orchard.
Barre Times

To the persons accustomed to seeing
only small apple orchards, it would be a
distinct revelation, no doubt, to attend
the annual meeting of the Vermont State
Horticultural society at Caselton on
Aug. Is and have an opportunity to in.
spect an orchard of $4,000 trees, the
largest single setting in one orchard in
Vermont. The meeting is, to be held at
the farm where this great orchard is To-
Gated, SO that the participants in the
meeting will have plenty of opportunity
to see the growing fruit under conditions
which may be considered as satisfactory.
Vermont fruit growers ought to take
advantage of this chance.

Grades and Brakes.
lGreenieId Recorder. ]

Two serious accidents on steep grades
in western Massachusetts, the second
costing life, call attention to the need
.of greater care on the part of drivers of
heavily loaded trucks with reference to
their brakes. In both the occurrences
referred to, drivers found after striking
sharp down grades that their brakes
were not equal to the task of holding the
load to safe speed. One tried to round
the hairpin turn on the western slope of
the Mohawk Trail and was overturned,
the other went over high embankment
in Colrain. To avert future accidents
of this kind, truck drivers need to see
that their brake bands are in good shape
and then make sure that their load is
within brake control on such grades as
exist in this part of the state.

A curious circumstance connected
with Robert Emmett, the Irish martyr,
is that there is some doubt as to his
burial place. Following his execution,
his body was inferred in Bully's Acre,
near Kilmainham, but the remains are
believed to have been afterwards re-
moved to st. Michael s ehurchyard or
70 Glasnevin cemetery. In each place
there is an uninseribed stone said to
mark his grave.

Facts About Lightning.

We see in the papers after severe
storm that ga thunderbolt" has fallen.
This and another popular superstition
namely, that there is a protected
space under a lightning conductor
were finally dispelled by the lightning
research committees report.
We now know that the so-called
"thunderbolt" is a very powerful flash,
which disturbs the ground like burst
ing shell. The action of a lightning
stroke on an insufficiently protected
building may be compared to the eff
feet of very heavy rainfall on a house
which has insufficient cutters and
rainwater pipes. The water, before ii
can escape, will probably flood the
building. A single lightning rod, fixed
to the chimney-shaft, will do its part
by receiving some of the flash.
