the adage fulfilled itself and I was
lost. for Phoebe cried eagerly:

lighted when Jim's voice rang out
briskly:
what have we here?"
He was standing at an odd sort
of desk-an old-fashioned secre-
taire, all cubby holes and shelves.
He picked up some object and held
it behind him. Like fash Pat
was at his side. His eyes darted
to a particular spot and then the
look of concern that had narrowed
them faded and look of great re-
lief came over his face.
What did you discover. Jim? II
it's any little thing you've taken a

orless contrast to his manner when
he had gone to see what it was Jim

As he crossed to the table where
Jim was now sitting. he swept
something from the desk and into
his pocket. No one else noticed.
Phoebe and Neal were absorbed in
an inspection of the apartment Jim
was sitting with his shoulders
hunched down and his hands
gripped into talons as he shook tho
dice out of the box and studied
their combinations and permuta-
tions intently. The old fear swept
over me as I perceived how com

Is it because his name happens
to be Moses that he is so full
of the law, and cares SO little
for the fair sex?
In the first place he must be
very modest for he only has two

Republican of O'Neill; lawyer;
State senator; district Judge; was
elected to the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress and each successive Con-
gress since"

questions propounded to him by
the reporter.
Why have you never married?

answer that question.
What type of woman do you
prefer?
have seen several types each
of which would be acceptable.
Must she be a good cook?
That would constitute no objec-
tion.
Do you prefer blonds or bru-
nettes?
No.

Are you woman hater?
Not for a minute.
Were you disappointed in love
early in life?
No-I didn't embark that early.
Do you ever expect to marry?

Would you object IL the right
woman came along?
That's a private matter.
Don't you long for children

They are very interesting.

Good FeIIowship.
They knew each other well-that
made for an easy flow of good
natured banter. But handsome, sill
ver-haired Pat. of the daredevil
eyes and bitter mouth, turned sud
denly tender and sweet and grave
whenever he spoke to Phoebe. She
adored his manner. And II made
Neal very proud. So we were all in
a mood to "just love" each other
and to feel ready to tell whomso-
ever it might concern that all was
right with the world.
Into our gayety there came
sudden noticeable hush-the air
grew still and heavy, and a great
zigzag of lightning followed a clap
of thunder. and was followed in
turn by a sudden lka-dotting OF
rain
Pat flung back his gray head and
ran his hand across his forehead in
the wellremembered gesture.
"Scurry for shelter, girls! Well
join you in a minute"
Phoebe and I obeyed. The men
followed in a moment.
"Who says we aren't good COM
pany for each other?" Pat asked.
Here we are on the empty hurri-

found II difficult to place the i'm
portant ones at table according to
their rank.
This matter OF precedence Is al
ways one OF the most discussed at
any capital, for it's recognition and
consideration are as important to
the etiquette of q capital city rs

carrying on of It's affairs. There
seems to be a tendency nowadays to
disregard such formalities-even a
desire to show a sort OF "independ-
ence" by not doing the right thing
in such matters. But precedence
and etiquette make for the dignity
of person and resoect for govern
ment, and are the outward and visi-
BILE sign, not of the man. but of his
office. In a republic i suppose there
is likely to be an inclination to dis
regard this. although the republic
of France is as scrupulous as any
monarchy In cherishing the dignity
of government.
Much OF this spirit or independ-
ence" in our own country is really
insincere. The scramble for decora-
tions and the awed manner in which
Americans have talked about for
eign distinctions since the war be-
gan have been most amusing to
Washingtonians, who for many
years have understood the value of
such honors. Abroad IL Is consid-
cred better to give a man q piece OF
ribbon, or a handle to his name and
a high place at table. than to repay
him in a money way by bonuses and
pensions. or with an office for
which he may be absolutely unfit-
ted. to the disadvantage of public
service.

Lightning,
QndHSFreUks
By Garrett p. Serviss.

fic380 explain Wnat causes elec-
tricity to explode in the air. and why
II does not tear UP the ground when 1t
reaches the earth. W. b., Goshen, Ind"
TN speaking Of the explosion Of
electricity in the air I suppose
that you refer to such phenomena
as the electric spark and lightning.
These are not explosions in the or
dinary sense of that word, al
though they often produce explo-
sions and explosive effects.
A strong flash Of lightning causes
a sudden expansion Of the air i'm
mediately around 1t, and the dis
placed air instantaneously rushc5
back again to fll the momen.ary
vacuum, thus giving rise to waves
of sound which constitute the phe-
nomena of thunder.
The atmospheric effect is very
like that produced by the sudden
expansion of the air AROUND the
muzzle of a cannon as the expand
ing gases rush out OF the bore.
The roar of a cannon is analogous
to the thunder of a lightning dis
charge. But there is a difference
In the manner in which the air is
expanded by lightning and by an
explosion of gases.
The former, being a current of
electricity, or of electrons, resisted
In its passage by a non-conducting,
or only partially conducting, medi-
um (the atmosphere), forces it's
way through the molecules Of the
aid and produces an intense heat,
which instantaneously expands the
air. There may also be other ex-
pansive action due to repulsion be-
tween the electrifid air particles.
In the case of an explosion of gun
powder the air Is driven bodily
aside to make room for the expand
ing gases.
When a lightning bolt strikes the
ground it's effects are usually mani
Tested only by the formation of a
hole in the earth, the existence of
which may entirely escape atten-
tion, unless the ground is very
moist, when there may be an ex-
plosion of suddenly formed steam
making a little excavation.
Ordinarily the only visible effect
Of lightning upon the soil consists
of a tube called "fulgurite," which
may penetrate many inches or many
feet into the ground. These tubes
are lined with vitrified mineral sub
stance, due. of course, to the great
heat which has sufficed instantly to
melt the sand and other substances
constituting the soil. Moist earth
being a good conductor of electric
ity, the discharge Is rapidly con-
ducted>away on all sides. and usu-
ally without explosive effects.
But the result is often very diff
ferent II the lightning strikes an
object resting on the surface OF the
earth, such as a house, n tree, or
even an isolated rock. Explosive
effects are then very common, IL
there is any moisture present which
can be expanded into steam by the
sudden accession of heat.
The trunks OF trees are OCCASION
ally split from end to end by the
instantaneous formation OF steam
inside them, or, more frequently,
their bark is blown of. or huge
limbs are torn OF and flung far
away. There is at least one record
Tin Poegcndorf's "Annslen") OF the
complete annihilation OF a tree by
a lightning stroke.
