Itoenlt of the VantVolnmci of Smoke
and Vapors Thrown Oot Into the
Atmosphrro.
The .researches of Professor Ton Pot
rokl, Knrstcn AVebrT, and others hayo
proved tbnt the number of damaging
ttrokM of lightning has considerably in
creased during the last fifty years, and
this increase cannot be explained by the
theory that, owing to the growing num
ber of houses, factories, etc., the number
of lightning strokes increased proportion
ately ; to the contrary, this number ought
to decrease, as every building,even when
not protected by a lightning-rod, effects
an equilibrium of the opposite electric po
tcntials, and, therefore, the number of
lightning strokes ought relatively to dc
crease with the growing number o'
buildings. Thfjs, indeed, is proved by
the fact that in the space of one ye.it
among 100,000 buildings there
occurred but thirteen coses of
lightning strokes in cities,
against twenty-three strokes on
buildings in the country. "We, therefore,
have to take this natural phenomenon
from another point of view, and to con
aider the ratio of damaging or other
strokes to the number of buildings in a
certain district. This ratio, called by
the German naturalists blitzgefahr
(danger from lightning), increased in
the kingdom of Bavaria from 1844 to
1882 threefold (according to records o:
insurance companies even fivefold), and
other countries show the lame increase.
As iu nature each phenomenon must have
its cause, the question arises : To what
cause is due the above-mentioned facts?
And tbis question not only is of scien
tific interest, but also of great practical
importance. A great many theories have
already been advanced to explain this
phenomenon; among others, that, owing
to the decrease of the woodland, houses
are more and more made the projecting
points of a certain area, and, therefore,
attract the lightning; beside, this de
crease effects a greater rise of tempera
ture in summer, and, in consequence,
more numerous thunder-storms. Others
find the cause of it in the large increase
of such constructions as gas and
water works, weather-cocks, etc.
But this theory docs not explain
why, especially, country houses, which
commonly lack these, kind of construc
tions, are mostly exposed to danger by
lightning. Admitting that these causes
may to some extent explain the increase;
of danger from lightning, they ore not
sufficient to fully show the surprising in
crease of strokes during so short a period.
There must be a more general and funda
mental cause. Through what can the
electrical intensity during a thunder
storm be so strongly increased that a
larger number of lightning strokes pass
over to the earth than was the caso here
tofore? It is not so much the increasing
number of thunder-storms as their greater
force which produces the increased
' danger.
As the main causo we now point out
the enormous increase during the last fifty
years of factories, railroads, steamboats
in short, of nil constructions filling the
atmosphere with smoke, vapors and par
ticles of dust of every description. When
we consider that every day thousands oi
locomotives, thousands of steamers go
around the earth, that thousands of
factories of all kinds daily emit enor
mous quantities of smoke, vapor
and dust into the air, that, especially in
cities, the large number of houses pro
duce immense quantities of smoke and
dust, the assertion will not seem incre l
ible, that there is certainly a hundred
times the smoke, dust and gases absorbed
in the atmosphere that was fifty years
ago. Already with the n3&d aye the
impure state of the atmosphere may be
noticed- Go through the coal districts
of Manchester, England, through those
of Pennsylvania, through the cities of
Essen, Germany, and Pittsburg, Pcnn.,
and you will notice a layer of vapor con
stantly hovering over them; the air is
filled with foul gases, and every object is
more or less covered with the settling
particles of dust.
These conditions being established, we
have to consider their relations to the
violence of thunder-storms. To give
the reader a better conception of this re
lation we will briefly discuss the theory
of a thunder-storm and the origin of
electricity thereby developed. Friction
is now generally accepted to bo the cause
of the electricity in a thunder-storm.
Friction between air and particles of ice
(according to Luvine), or between air
and molecules of water (according to
Andries), is the main cause of that elec
tricity. When beside these factors par
ticles of dust are filling the atmosphere
the development of electricity is highly
increased. It is the ejectiou of steam
and ashes common to the phenomenon
which causes the thuuder-storms attend
ing to it assume an exceedingly violent
. character.
That the pyramid of Cheops is ren
dered electrical by the whirling dust of
the desert may hero also be mentioned.
It is nothing but the friction of the
grains of sand on the surface of the pyra
mid that causes electricity to originate.
The author of this essay claims that
the rapid, enormous, and lasting devel
opment of electricity during thunder
storms cannot be otherwise explained
than by a purely mechanical cause, analo
gous to the mcchauical force ef the hydro
electrical machine. Now, as our atmos
phere contains so much more dust than
in foimer years, the fact must beoi gre..t
influence regarding the intensity of elec
trical phenomena during thunder storms;
from the same reasoning are explained vol
cauic eruptions. That this increase!
force of thunder storms must manifest it
self in the greater violence and a more
dangerous character of lightning stokes
will be evident to the reader. But there
is another cause ti buinentioned. It is
an established fatt thnt air containing
solid particles has a conducting power in
regard to electric current fur superior to
that of pure air. In our day? therefore,
where these molecules of dust 'ami solid
particles fill the atmosphere ton -Tenter
extent, the latter has b coiuo a b ttci
conductor, and favors a direction of the
lightning strokes towaid the more im
pure layers in the vicinity of tho can a,
und, therefore, the earth itself. Ciiewjo

George Washington's Courtship.
Near the end of May, 1758, Washing
ton was ordered by tho quartermaster
general of the British forces to leave
Winchester and moke all haste to Wil
liamsburg, there to explain to the gov
ernor and council in what a desperate
condition the Virginia troops were as re
garded clothing and equipments. Ac
cordingly ho set out on horseback, ac
companied by his servant Billy Bishop.
The two men had reached Williams
ferry, on the l'amunkcy river, and had
crossed on the boat, when they met Mr.
Chambcrlayne, a Virginia gentleman, liv
ing in the neighborhood. The hospitable
planter insisted thnt Washington should
i.t oace go to his house. It was fore
noon, and dinner would bo served as
usual, early, and after that Colonel
Washington could go forward to Wil
liamsburg, if go ho must. Besido all
that, there was a charming young widow
at his house Colonel Washington must
have known her, tho daughter of John
Dandridge, nnd tho wife of John Parke
Custis. Virginia hospitality was hard to
resist. Washington would stay to din
ner if his host would let him hurry off
immediately afterwaid.
Bishop was bidden to bring his mas
ter's horse around after dinner in good
season, and AVashington surrendered
himself to his host. Dinner followed,
and the afternoon went by, nnd Mr.
Chamberloyne was in excellent humor,
as he kept one eye on the restless horses
nt the door, and the other on his guests,
the tall, Indian-like officer and the
graceful, hazel-eyed, animated young
widow. Sunset came, and still Wash
ington lingered. Then Mr. Chambcr
layne stoutly declared that no guest was
ever permitted to leave his house after
sunset. Mrs. Martha Custis was not the
one to drive the soldier away, and so
Bishop was biddon to take tho horses
back to tho stable. Not till tho next
morning did the young colonel take his
leave. Then he dispatched his business
promptly at Williamsburg, and whenever
he could get on hour dashed over to
White House, where Mrs. Custis lived.
So prompt was h about this business,
also, that when he returned to Winches
ter ho had the promise of the young
widow thnt she would marry him as soon
as the campaign was over. St. Nicholat.
A Ton of Executive Officers.
A Washington letter to the Cincinnati
Time-itar says. An assertion that the
President and his Cabinet weigh nearly
a ton would seem at first appearance
rather a startling one, but it is not so far
from the fact. Mr. Manning woighed
at the time of his attack 23" pounds.
He had gained over twenty-five pounds
since he came into his position at the
treasury. Tho President is not much
behind him in weight. They are very
much alike in figure, height, and gen
eral physical peculiarities. There are
several of tho Cabinet members who
must weigh nearly 2015 pounds each.
Secretary Lamar is tall, broad-shouldered,
and well developed physically, and
must tip the beam at about that figure,
Garland is a big man, very tall and mus
cular. He is not far from 200 in weight.
Bayard is not far behind him, neither is
Endicott. Vilas and Whitney must av
erage up about 175 pounds each. Put
the eight the President and his Cabi
net on the scales, and you will find
they do not fall many hundredweight
below a ton.

And he thereupon Finished the Patient

Tho correspondents of the agncultural
department send reports of variousWrauds
that with more or less success are being
practice;! on farmers in dillerent parts of
tho country. Agents for the solo of fruit
trees, fertilizers, stoves, cooking ronges
ond various other articles succeed in
many instances in selling theirJarcs at
two or three times their value, dJ;ettirg
the farmers' money for things that prove
utterly worthless. The devices of getting
a farmer's signature to some paper which
can be changed into a negotiable note
and sold for cash are too numerous to
mention. A favorito ruse is to get him
to act as agent for the sale of soino arti
cle of farm machinery, leave some of the
articles with him and take his receipt for
them in such a form that, with or with
out change, it can be used as a note for
tho money at which they are valued.
Another device is that of taking orders
for some subscription book in som
cases tho revised New Testament and
converting such orders into noto. Slit
another is the one operated by tho pro
tended agent of a Bible or tract-society
who presents himself at a farm house
about dinner time and accepts an invita
tion to dine on condition that ho may bo
ollowcd te pay for his meal. Tho society,
he says, requires that he should pay his
way, and to prove that ho has done so he
asks the farmer's signature to a form of
receipt which he carries with him. Iu
course of time this receipt comes back to
the farmer in the form of a note for some
sum of money filled in by tho plausi
ble swindler. A ITgrlfliiug rod agon

the sale of rights for a worthless patent

a variety of insurance frauds and the
sae of worthless receipts for the cure of
"hog cholera" or other animal diseases,
are among the numerous swindling dc-,
vices mentioned by tho correspondents of
the department. Washington fiar. J

That Tired Feeling
Which afflicts nenrly every one at this
Is entirely overcome by Hood's Farssparllla,
which ha the peculiar merit of building tip
and strengthening the system while It eradi
cbIon disease.
"I have been In poor health several years,
suffering from indigestion, restlessness in the
night, nnd In the morning I would get up with
a very tired feeling. After taking only a part
of the first liottlo of Hood's Barsaparilla I
could rent well all night and feel refreshed
whon I woke up. I must say that Hood's Sar
saparllla Is all it Is recommended to be."
Mits. H. D. Winanb, 210 East Mason Street,

Now is the Time
To take Hood's Sarsaparilla, the popular spring
medicine and blood purifier. WTiyT
Hocntise the body is now more snsceptlble to
the beneficial ettecU of this peculiar medicine
than at any other season.
Hecause the impurities In the blood should
be expelled and that tired feeling overcome
before the additional debilitating effects of
w arm weather aro felt.
Because the thousands of peoile who have
tried it pronounce Hood'e Sarsaparllla the
very best medicine to take in the spring.
Because delays are dangerous. A dollar spent
for this peculiar medicine now may prevent Ill
ness which will be expensive and hard to bear.
Because, as now ts the time when you may
derive the grenteBt good, it Is certainly econo
my to take Hood's Sarsaparllla now.
Do Not be Imposed Upon
The great and Increasing popularity of Hood'e
Sarsaparllla has led some unprincipled men to
use It as a ball to draw customers to their stores,
and then by unfair representations endeavor
to sell other kinds. His unnecessary for n to
caution those who have tried Hood's Barsapa
rilla and know Its peculiar merit. But to those
j w l.o have never taken it we say, Dont be im
' posed upon. Insist upon having Hood's Sarsa
I parilla anil no other. The men who rlalm that
I their preparations are "as good as Hood's," by
so doing admit I hat Hood's is the standard, and
possesses peculiar merit wnicuuiejr ny u
to reach.
Immense Amount of Good
"I have been troubled with dyspeP"1- I had
but little appetite, and what.l did eatdlstreased
me, or did me little good. In an hour after eat
ing I would experience a f aintness or tired, all
gone feeling, as though I had not eaten any
thing. Hood'sSnrsHparilladld mean immense
amount of good. It gave mo an appetite, and
my food relished and satisfied the craving I
had previouslv experienoed. Itrelloved me of
that faint, tired, all-gone feeling. I have felt
so much better since 1 took Hood's Sarsaparilla
Unit I am happv to add my recommendation.
