Smith, of the Burlington, was talking to me about railroads and rail road building, and he told of the most malignant bit of false pretenses which any railroad advance agent ever was guilty of. It was some where oft in West Virginia, as I recollect It, and the man whose business it was to go across the country and win the favor of tho residents so 'that they woud vote bonds, struck an lntermountain region and found that that particular county was practically dominated by an old farmer away up the ridge. The road wanted something like $100,000 from the county, nnd the skirmishing party appeared unto the man of the ridge with a request for his assistance. Tho old fellow, whose name was Searles, was willing, on one condition, to help out. He wanted the road to come somewhere near his own place. Cushman, tho agent, looked over tho situation, and after a time promised. "The line," he said, "will run within 100 yards of your front gate. Is that near enough?" Searles said it was and an agreement was signed. Then Searles began an advocacy of the bond proposition, and the concession was voted with hardly a word of opposition, but with the "front gate" understanding. Two years later Mr. Smith happened to be hunting in that country, and he stopped at Searles' house. Their con versation turned upon railroads, and the old man, pointing to a long rifle over the mantle, said: "Tho next railroad man that comes Into these hills I'm goln' to shoot with that until he's dead." Mr. Smith, who had not yet disclosed Ills identity or occupation, asked for tho reason. Tho mountaineer told of tho episode of tho bonds. "But," said Mr. Smith, "If there was an agreement the bonds are Invalid," "No, they ain't," the other respond ed sadly, "Ho dono it. He run It with in the prescribed distance. She's with in them 100 hundred yards." "But I don't see any railroad here." "Nope. Ye can't. But she's here. She runs through this hill by a tunnel, which starts a mile away. She's inside the named distance, but beln' as I ain't a groundhog or a rabbit I can't get direct access to her." Mr. Smith passed a very tremulous night for fear his host would; in some way find what Ills visitor's business was.

LIGHTMNC RODS. Scientific Answer to tho Question, Aro They Worth Anything? From Popular Scienco News.' Several year? since, Mr. Hodges, then editor of Science, discussed the subject of lightning-rods, giving special im portance to an instance where a bell wire from a steeple wholly disappeared after a lightning stroke. The steeple nnd building were uninjured down to a point where the wire had ended; below that, there was much damage. His conclusion was that, if lightning can expend its force In disintegrating a conductor that is sufficiently small to be dissipated, It prefers to expend itself In that way. This theory, to gether with other recent statements, would Indicate that if the high Doints and tho angles of a building be fur nished with wire or small metal rib bon, connecting down into tho damp subsoil, the protection would be as good us can Ijo devised; and these conduc tor!! need not be Insulated. All prominent objects Invite light ning, the more so If isolated. Where they abound, as in towns, the electric ity is most likely to be drawn off In visibly. While It Is risky to stand un der a tree In a thunder shower, It Is a protection to have trees near a house. No doubt the column of invisible mois ture ascending from a barn full of new hay, makes a ready path for lightning. Besides, the very combustible contents of a barn, at any time (or the rubbish In an empty barn), may result in fire when a building less Ignitlble might not be fired by a lightning stroke.
