EINSTEIN LE, LLL L LD OE DIET OEE I IN cibensnemmeaeenneen — LIGHTNING RODS OUSTED, ~~ A Connecticut Agent Says the Barbed Wiré Fence Has Done the Trick. An Ansonia lightning rod agent has returned from Bunker Hill, a little hamlet several miles up the Naugatuck valley, in a most dejected mood, He had heard of a recent thunderstorm up there where considerable damage had been done by lightning, and priming himself with the alleged facts he drove off with his wagon loaded with rods, copper tips, insulators, ladders, etc., expecting to find business brisk. He found pt the first place where he stopped that it was going to be a bad year for business in that section, because at nearly every house there were barbed wire. fences, and the last storm had proved that there were no better conductors.of electricity that a barbed wire fence. The storm the agent heard of came up suddenly one evening, and its antics ’ convinced him that he had better get -out of the lightning red business and go into the wire fence trade. The very first flash of lightning struck a tree at the southwest corner of the house occupied by Mrs. Willard Woodruff and her sonin-law, J. A. Hitchcock. The force of the concussion threw: Mr. Hitchcock from his chair across the room and up against a sideboard, The bolt struck the tree about 20 feet from the ground and on the side toward the house, but a greater attraction was across the street, and the lightning went for it with considerable eagerness. It ricochetted over the intervening space, gouging big holes in the ground at intervals of several feet and throwing stones weighing several pounds about as though it were trying to drive chickens out of the flower bed. Its last leap was over a space of 20 feet, where it found what it was after. As the electric ball struck the barbed wire fence it divided into two parts. One went north on the top wire and the other south on the lower wire. The north bound ball followed the wire for 100 feet to an open gate, splitting all the posts. Then it jumped to the roadway, tearing up the earth at every bound until it covered the gap made by It jumped back to the top ‘wire for 200. feet more to. the end of the section, throwing the last post flat on the ground and pitching into the earth, ‘ where it cut a V shaped hole threo feet wide at the widest part. After the shock those in the Woodruff house began to look about them. --They. found every pane of glass in the south side of the house but two broken. Every piece of crockery in the pantry had been displaced, some of it toppling off the shelves to the floor, but very little of it was broken. They believe, and so do their neighbors, that the barbed wire fence was their salvation, and if the electric bolt had not been drawn across the street the house would have been torn down. ' The Ansonia lightning rod agent said he was forced to believe the same thing, for it was an awful bolt.—Ansonia (Conn.) Dispatch. WORSE THAN TIP. Bolivar’s Keeper Says He Is Nearly Twiee as Big and Much More Vicious. The recent execution of the elephant Tip by poison in Central park, New York, caused the big crowd which visited the ‘‘zoo’’ yesterday to view with more -than ordinary interest the three huge elephants confined there. Few among the spectators knew, however, that in the enormous. Bolivar they saw an-animal said by experts to be more ferocious than Tip ever was. Bolivar seemed to be in a particularly ugly mood and swayed his, great body from’ side to side, straining constantly at the heavy chains which fettered him. Head Keeper Manly said: **T think the killing of Tinwns @ very queer action. Of course he was ugly and would do all the damage he could at times, but most male elephants will do that, I think it is safe to say that Tip was never in the same class with Bolivar as a terror, but-we would not think of killing the.old fellow any more than we would of killing an angry lion or tiger. The people want to see wild animals, and the men who handle them should know their moods well enongh to keep out of their way when they are dangerous. ‘*Bolivar has a most unenviable record, and he would probably not be here now if he had not got so vicious that he could not be handled by the circus men while traveling. He has, I think, killed three men outright and has injured many more. He weighs over seven tons and is nearly twice as largo and powerful as Tip was. He is a terror when once started. ‘‘He once nearly ended the life of young Adam Forepaugh. Bolivar had knocked him down and was. freparing to crush his life out when Fred Johnson, his keeper, drove the big beast away. But here his disposition has improved, and we do not have any trouble with him, Keeper Harrison knows his disposition and simply treats him kindly. We are mighty careful, however, not to give the old fellow any chances to do harm, and he is never freed from his chain.’’—-Philadelphia Record. FRANK T. NILON, Attorney and Counselor at Law.

The place seems to me to embody all available points fora camp— dry, firm soil, good water (the very best) fine chances for dreinage, and scenery unsurpassable. The view of Mt. Shasta is one of the very best to be had from any point; it is visible from every part of the ground The view of the Crags also is fine. eral environment is of the best.

Repairing the Cable. _ The cable ship Minia has started from Queenstown on the difficult enterprise of repairing one of the Anglo company’s defective cables in 2,800 fathoms of water in the mid-Atlantic. The cable will have to be overhauled for several hundred miles, the defective sections cut out and new lengths spliced in. Minia took 500 miles of new cable, of which is expected to be used, Some people believe an entirely new cable would be found cheaper in the end, _A Montana Alarmist.
