The country papers are full of ac counts of swindlers practicing their wiles on country folks, who persist in dealing with strangers in a maimer thalwoiildcau.se immediate suspicion If his nearest neighbors or dealer, whom he knows all about, would suggest it. To avoid being swindled, deal with men you know deal with firms who you know; deal with firms who advertise their business and methods in news papers, because they are not ashamed of them. The swindler who travels through the country aims to keep hU business out of the public press; avoids the country newspaper the same as he does a police.

For that reason they will not carry bits of metal in their pockets during a storm. Others get as far away from the piano as possible, believing the wires to le a great point of danger. And there are still others who will not set near a window. Prof. J. W. Lengley, an expert elec trical engineer, declares that the mid dle of the room Is the eafest placse dur ing n storm. There is a constant tendency on the part of electricity in the sky to reach the ground, he said. To do this it must have a conductor. Atmospheric elec tricity always follows the outside of the conductor or agency that leads it to the ground. That.s why the middle of the room is the safest during an elec trical storm. More people are struck by lightning in the country than in the cities The reason for this is because the builders haye unwittingly safeguarded the cit ies. Buildings have tin and copper eaves and troughs. Many of the roofs are of metal. Wires everywhere. All these tilings are conductors. Lightning must concentrate itself. It must find the weakest spot. But the city is so generally covered with con ductors that there is practically no weakest spot. In the country it is different. One tree is higher than the lest. Perhaps there is a stream of water beneath it. That tree is the weakest spot in the wood and the lightning destroys it. A farmhouse stands in the vacant lot. There are no other houses near. That house is the weakest spot, and there the lightning strikes. Brick from S.unl ami Cement. A new process for making bricks out of sand and cement lias been put in operation in Missouri. No ovens or burning processes are necessary, the harduing of the bricks beginning as soon as it is taken from the mould, and in fifteen days it is ready for delivery. During the process of moulding, a single brick undegoesa pressure of fi."), IMKI pounds. In thirty days from the time the hardening process begins the brick will stand a pressure of ten tons; in sixty days, a pressure of sixty-live Imis. The ordinary pressure leipiin il for building purposes is about eight tons. In addition any desirul color may lie introduced into the sand and eeluellt n.ixtlll'e. Whcll taken I'l'olll the mould the soft mixture must be handled w it h extreme care Thchrick are then placed upon large racks built for that purpose, whi le they aiespiav ed with water from an automatic sprinkler every four hours. This is done to assist the action of the cement in setting properly. The hardening process naturally begins at the outward surface of the brick and continues in ward. New ()ihaiis Home. An important step has been taken by the Odd Fellows of Central Pennsyl vania and before long they will have another home in connection with the Orphans Home near Sunbury.
