LIGHTNING MADE A SNAPSHOT
Wlndow-ExpIanation Given
by Photographer.

The recent stories Of the picture Of
a wreath that appeared on window
pane in a Columbus residence, and
which glass experts pronounced moth
ing more than a defect in the glass,
which had been there from the time
it was made, but only noticed after
there had been death in the resi-
denCe, recalls to a prisoner in the
penitcntiary a similar case that came
to his attention when he was en-
ploYed by the Pennsylvania l'.ilroad
at Altoona, Pa. 1t was traced to an
other though equally scientific cause,
One night the private CT of Presi-
dent Roberts of that r. lroad was
shunted onto siding In f yards at
Altoona and before mo ming there
came heavy thundersto with in
tensely vivid lightning. NeXt morn
ing when the cleaning rev began
cleaning the car there was found on
one Of the window pancs Il very good
picture Of the yards that lay directly
in front of it. 1t wa just like a
fairly wel-developed Photographic
plate, and there could be no question
but that the scene in the picture was
the yards before it.
A photographer who was called to
look at it, concluded that there had
been a thin film of oil on the window,
which in Some way became sensitive
to intense light and flash Of light
ming had imprinted the scene before
the window on the pane. - Columbus

How to Make Pet q Toad.

The next time you see q toad ptck
1t up, place It on sour knee and gently
stroke its back with your finger tip.
In a few minutes It WIN squat down
close to your knee and then you can
take your hand away and 1t will make
no effort to escape. II You can catch
few flies and put them one by one
on your finger and slowly thrust your
gift toward the toad the latter's pink
tongue will shoot out and accept the
gift In a second. Do this every day,
and the toad will not only come to
your whistle, or call, but will hunt
you up II you arc in the yard or gar
den where It lives. BY placing It on
your knee few times It soon loses
It's fear, and lastly you will find 1t OBJ

Gave to "UnWorthY Poor"

A Missouri man has left a will es-
tablishing a fund for the aid of the
poor of his town, Colorado Springs,
Mo, every Christmas. It's especially
suggested that the gifts be distributed
to unfortunate persons, whether they
are worthy or unworthy according to
the standards Of society"
Those in position to give money
to fellow beings in misfortune so long
have insisted that the poor to be aided
must be worthy" that it is a great re-
lief to find one man who does not at
tach the obnoxious string to his act
of generosity. The ne'er-do-well with
an empty stomach probably feels just
as hungry as the pious person whose
fortunes have falien.-Detroit Free

AGED SON-|N-LAW
 DENIES HIS GUILT
Sho: Fired at Family Through Window Kills Man-Young
 Bride Is Unhurt

Meridian, Miss, March 6.-(Special.)- Although there were no eye-witnesses, the authorities are working on the theory that A. A. Nelson, aged 60, son-in-law, $ guilty of the murder of Edward Henson. his father-in-law. who was shot to death in his home Friday night while eating supper with his wife and daughter, Opal. 14-year-old wife of the accused.
 Henson was killed with load of shot fired through the dining room window from the outside. When placed in jail, following his arrest at his home shortly after the murder, Nelson denied his guilt, declaring that Henson. his father-in-law, was one of the best friends he ever had and that he would be the last man in the world he would injure. A single-barrel shot gun apparently very recently dis charged found hidden between the mat tresses- of the bed on which Nelson was Wing when the officers reached his home and alleged threats he made to parties against his father-in-law, when he was endeavoring to get his young wife to re- turn to him, led to Nelson's arrest.
 The coroner's jury returned verdict, following thorough investigation, hold ing Nelson responsible for the crime.

JEFFERSON COUNTY
 SCHOOLS NEAR TOP
Montgomery Leads With Jef- ferson Second and Cham
 berS Third

Montgomery, March 6.--(Special)-- Statistics compiled by T. E. Benner, statistician of the state depart of education, showed tha Montgomery county's white rural elementary schools lead all others in efficiency; that Jefferson is second, Chambers third and Jackson at the bottom of the list. The statistics made public by the de- partment today also show that Jeffer- schools are first in their class, Cham bers second, Mobile third and Cullman fourth
 In reaching the standing of the schools in the various counties, local conditions had much effect. MT Ben ner said splendid natural resource es may have aided some counties, and that bad roads, lack of foresight of citizens of other years or failures of crops may have retarded the educational progress of others. He pointed out the statistics were not intended as a criticism of any county but only to show wherein some counties have succeeded and others have failed so all counties may take ad- vantage of their knowledge and plan for the improvement of their school system.
