THE RAILROAD WAS CLOSE Ut
Hut tho Old Man Insisted That tho
Agent Hud Swindled Him.
From the Chicago Record.
A. B. 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.
