"It is held by most scientists that the lightning Rash is an oscillatory discharge, repeated frequently too and fro between cloud and cloud between cloud and earth. The distance of the flash in miles is approximately equal to one-fifth of the ber of seconds between the Mash and the thunder.

DEATE BY LIGHTNING. "The number of people killed by lightning each year in the United States averages about 800, the greater loss of life being in July. "In Ohio the average annual death rate by lightning per unit of 100,000 agricultural laborers he twenty-four. "Small articles of metal do not have the power to attract lightning, but should not stand under trees durting thunder storms, la 'the doorways of barns, near open windows or doors, close to cattle or 'horses, or near and Are places. "There is very little reason, however, for alarm during a thunder storm er for making efforts to insulate oneself by getting into feather bede, etc.

TO RESUSCITATE THOSE STRICKEN. "If you are in the vicinity of a person who has just been struck by lightning, no matter If he appears dead, go to work at once to try to restore respiration and consciousness. No matter what method of respiration de used, keep it up for at least an hour, and in the meantime maintain the heat of the body by hot flannels, bottles of hot water, warm clothing taken from bystanders, etc. Firmly and energetically rub the limbs upward so as to force the 1 blood to the heart and brain.

"The chief defects likely to' occur are blunted points and breaks in the connection. "Properly constructed rode are a benefit, especially for scattered buildings on hill-sides or in places where there have been a number of lightning strokes. The top of the rod must be protected from rust and corrosion.

Clusters of points or groups of two or three along the ridge-poles are recommended. Bury the earth plates in running water if possible. Lightning does sometimes strike twice in the same place.

Noah Vale's fatherly interest in and care for a poor waif of a boy, whom he manages to feed and clothe out his own meagre means, forms one of the pathetic touches of the play, which likewise abounds in many flashes of genial wit and humor. It has its romance too, though the outlook for poor Noah is very dark, until at last he reaps the reward of hie inventive genius. and the villains who stole his designs are unmasked. Infinite amusement is caused by the scene ic which Noah mends the clothing of the little boy. The urchin, not knowing.

Only a babe of two short summers, as get a tiny flower. The frail plant had scarcely begun to show signs of life, when disease and death fastened its fatal fangs upon her. All that medical skill and loving hands could do to administer to the little sufferer were of no thus gently the silver chord was loosened, and the golden bowl broken and Ruth's spirit bade adieu to the scenes of earth and returned to the God who gave it.

During the last few days of her life she suffered intensely, but death relieved her and she, too, has gone the way of all the earth. She is the second one of this family that has been taken from us in the last seven months, but they are both transplanted in the paradise of God, and we cam only say, "Even so, Father, for thus seemeth good in Thy sight." Our Savior has called little Ruth home, but our sweet little rose bud is not withered, but only transplanted in God's garden. We can not say farewell for we hope the separation will not be long until we meet again, we tried so hard to keep thee with us. but Holy angels around thy head. On golden pinions come.

To free thee from a suffering bed, And waft thy spirit home. "In my Father's house are many mansions." From these words Rev. R. D. Licklider spoke words of comfort and consolation to the grief stricken parents and friends that gathered around the casket that held all that was mortal of little Ruth.

The season's opening attraction at Bell's Opera House Thursday, August 31, will be that unique and genial character study, "A Poor Relation," rendered famous by that inimitable comedian, Sol. Smith Russell. ing else that Mr. Russell ever did in a field of eccentric impersonations peculiarly his own, so endeared him to the public as his delineation of Noah Vale, the poor inventor whose heart was as big as his body even though hie purse was empty, cheated as he was out of the fruite of his bor.

The love of Noah for the little boy, whom he befriends, is the tender and pathetic feature of the play livened as it is, by the humorous incidents cnaracterizing the scenes between the two of these situations, the most amusing is that in which Noah Vale deposits the boy in an empty barrel and removes the lad's trousers in order to sew buttons on the garment, without shocking the little fellow's sense of modesty or that of the spectators either. The story of the drama dealing with the theft by the villain of the inventor's plans of a mechanical design, destined eventually to make him wealthy, is skillfully and absorbingly told. Romance is woven into the tale, which ends happily with the ultimate recovery of the stolen designs, and the final triumph of Noah Vale, who realizes the good fortune his own brains and inventive genius have earned and who wins the girl he loves. Start in with the opening attraction. Good patronage assists the manager in securing good attractions.
