Small inky-looking clouds will be seen haying an indistinct and ragged outline. The clouds will increase in volume, Small ones will unite, forming larger bodies, and these wul rapidly grow in density and overcast the sky. The heavy cloud masses will be scen to approach nearer the carth. Occasionally some section of the clond mass will be iNuminated by lightning, and after an inerval of ttventy or thirty seconds a faint rumbling thunder will become audible. As the storm develops and draws nearer the intervals between the flashes of lightning and reports of thunder will shorten, until, when the storm is at its height. many flashes will be followed almost immediately by deafening probably a heavy rain will be falling, varying at intervals in intensity. The storm will conunue from one-half to about two or three hours, when the lightning and thunder will diminish: and disappear, and the rain-fall will gradualiy cease. When we now venture out we shail encounter a cool, refreshing breeze, which will at once have an The rays of the sun breaking here and there through the clouds and falling upon the rain-drops on the grass and trees, will give to the surroundings the most pleasing aspect.

The actual duration of. the illumination produced by a hghtning flash has been shown by practical demonstration to be 1ess than the ten-thousandth part of a second. To the cye it seems much longer, because the flash leayes its impression on the retina for some time Thunder jis produced by the clashing of particics of air displaced by the électrical discharge, and hence always at the same instant that lightning is produced. The apparent interval between the flash and the rcpgyt is duc to the difference in velocity between light and sound. Light travels at the rate of 145,000 miles per—second, we see the'ilash of lightning at almost the same instant that the discharge takes place. But such is not the case with sound. Sound in air travels at the rate of 1,120 feet per second. It therefore requires some time for the sound of thunder to reach the car after the discharge and report have actually taken place. The irregular rumbling sound, . -Rewelt as the duration of thunder, is due to the varying distances from which the sounds come while the flash passes along its course. The rumbling sound is also due to the effect of echoes. By noting the interval of time between the lightning flash and the beginning of the thunder; we can, with an ordinary timepiece, roughly estimate the distance of the thunder-cloud: For‘instance, as sound travels at the rate 1,120-feet, or about one-fifth of a mile per second, if with Abscese of Lungs, and friends and physicians pronounced me an Incurable Consumptive.

Presently there came across the waste of seething water a sound of music. Could it be possible? Did not their ears deceive them? Eagerly the men listened to catch the sound. Again it came, borneupon the whistling wind, the stirring notes of the ‘Star Spangled Banner,” played by the band of thé Trenton, as that ship, with propeller and rudder gone, drifted bopelessly upon the reef to meet what seemed almost certain death.“ Loud and clear, above the raging storm, arose the’ notes, and surely never sweeter music sounded to dying men than did this to the seamen lashed to the rigging of the Vandalia, and three hund men broke into a ‘gheer. Faintly came the answer from the Trenton’s men, as grouped in the rigging they peered eagerly into the , line of foaming breakers ahead which . marked the deadly reef which Mhey were drifting. It wa only when the vessel struck that the crash of falling masts and crushing timbers drowned the sweet strains of the stir, ring anthem, and again all was blackiness, whirling waves and whistling winds.—Washington Critic.

Fugitives from Kansas and Texas, as well as from the Eastern States, flocked in there, where they were sure to find protection and congenial companions.

They all went into the Territory, each squad selecting its own route. A noticeable part of the outfit of each squad would be a new halter rope of a size sufficient to hold three or four horses, and perhaps thirty feet long. Just why such a rope was necessary to hold a pony that at other tumes was perfectly gentle did not appear, but the rope was taken along ff, at any rate. In two or three days the squads of vigireturn. Finally one squad came in leading the horse that Ahad veen stolen. It might also be noticed that while all the other men-had ‘brought back the massive halter-rope, -the squad that brought the horse brought no rope. “We found the horse, but the thief aver,” the successful men said, ane: aly "Did you see the thief?” some one would ask ‘Yes, we saw him and the last we noticed of him he was going through the crossing a river.’’ Thetruth was &pparently told, but to the farmer who had been amember of a similar Squad the careless words told of a tragedy and le knew that -somewhere in the wild country just south was a corpse hanging to a tree, a note pinned to the bosom and fluttenug in the wind. He knew that a sou) had been hurried to its Maker; that one desperate man had struggled with others &s desperate and determined as himself and had succumbed to the odds against him. He knew also that it was a horsethief that had. been hung and that his own enimals were so much safer. Conscience was stilled by the thought that it was his duty; a horrible task, but none the lessa bounden duty, due to himself, to his neighbors and to his family. SF ; When starting on such atrip, each map hoped that it would not be his squad tliat should overtake the solitary man riding the stolen horse. He closed: his eyes to shut out the remembrance of the time when he was @ member of the successful squad— when he was one of the four who captured the sullen criminal on the tired and wornout horse. He could still hear the poor fellow beg and plead for merey which all four Were about to grant, until one of them whispered *‘our oaths,” arid from that mo . ment the doom of the thief was sealed.

OUR BREAD IN -DANGER. The United States Government Chemists, in their examinations of articles of food offered for Government use, have developed the fact that almost all the baking powders upoa the market are made from alum or phosphates, or contain large quantities of lime or other adulterants. As a matter of fact, of the samples analyzed, the Royal was the only baking powder found free from all of these deleteriozs ingredients, Alum is used as a substitute for cream of tartar to produce a cheap baking powder. the system hs been ascertained to be poisonous, and overdoses have been attended with fatal results.’ The phosphate ‘are next tithe alum powders in cheapness. They contain a large amount of lime. The baking powders sold with a gift are of the alum or phosphate class, Lime when subjected to heat gives off a certain amount ot carbonic acid gas, but a quicklime is left, one of the most powerful caustics known. Chemists have found twelve per cent., or one-eighth of the weight, of some of the baking powders advertised as pure to be lime, The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder—now affirmad by every chemist and féod analyst of prominence, and conceded by all manufacturers of other beands—arise from the exclusive use of cream of tarta: which is specially refined by patent processes that totall; remove the lime and all other impurities, In his report, the United States Government Chemist says: ‘fhe Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for I have so found it in many tests made for the United States Government.

The actual duration of. the illumination produced by a hghtning flash has been shown by practical demonstration to be 1ess than the ten-thousandth part of a second. To the cye it seems much longer, because the flash leayes its impression on the retina for some time Thunder jis produced by the clashing of particics of air displaced by the électrical discharge, and hence always at the same instant that lightning is produced. The apparent interval between the flash and the rcpgyt is duc to the difference in velocity between light and sound. Light travels at the rate of 145,000 miles per—second, we see the'ilash of lightning at almost the same instant that the discharge takes place. But such is not the case with sound. Sound in air travels at the rate of 1,120 feet per second. It therefore requires some time for the sound of thunder to reach the car after the discharge and report have actually taken place. The irregular rumbling sound, . -Rewelt as the duration of thunder, is due to the varying distances from which the sounds come while the flash passes along its course. The rumbling sound is also due to the effect of echoes. By noting the interval of time between the lightning flash and the beginning of the thunder; we can, with an ordinary timepiece, roughly estimate the distance of the thunder-cloud: For‘instance, as sound travels at the rate 1,120-feet, or about one-fifth of a mile per second, if with Abscese of Lungs, and friends and physicians pronounced me an Incurable Consumptive.

Presently there came across the waste of seething water a sound of music. Could it be possible? Did not their ears deceive them? Eagerly the men listened to catch the sound. Again it came, borneupon the whistling wind, the stirring notes of the ‘Star Spangled Banner,” played by the band of thé Trenton, as that ship, with propeller and rudder gone, drifted bopelessly upon the reef to meet what seemed almost certain death.“ Loud and clear, above the raging storm, arose the’ notes, and surely never sweeter music sounded to dying men than did this to the seamen lashed to the rigging of the Vandalia, and three hund men broke into a ‘gheer.

They all went into the Territory, each squad selecting its own route. A noticeable part of the outfit of each squad would be a new halter rope of a size sufficient to hold three or four horses, and perhaps thirty feet long. Just why such a rope was necessary to hold a pony that at other tumes was perfectly gentle did not appear, but the rope was taken along ff, at any rate. In two or three days the squads of vigireturn.

He knew that a sou) had been hurried to its Maker; that one desperate man had struggled with others &s desperate and determined as himself and had succumbed to the odds against him. He knew also that it was a horsethief that had. been hung and that his own enimals were so much safer.

He closed: his eyes to shut out the remembrance of the time when he was @ member of the successful squad— when he was one of the four who captured the sullen criminal on the tired and wornout horse. He could still hear the poor fellow beg and plead for merey which all four Were about to grant, until one of them whispered *‘our oaths,” arid from that mo . ment the doom of the thief was sealed.

OUR BREAD IN -DANGER. The United States Government Chemists, in their examinations of articles of food offered for Government use, have developed the fact that almost all the baking powders upoa the market are made from alum or phosphates, or contain large quantities of lime or other adulterants. As a matter of fact, of the samples analyzed, the Royal was the only baking powder found free from all of

these deleteriozs ingredients, Alum is used as a substitute for cream of tartar to produce a cheap baking powder. the system hs been ascertained to be poisonous, and overdoses have been attended with fatal results.’ The phosphate ‘are next tithe alum powders in cheapness. They contain a large amount of lime. The baking powders sold with a gift are of the alum or phosphate class, Lime when subjected to heat gives off a certain amount ot carbonic acid gas, but a quicklime is left, one of the most powerful caustics known. Chemists have found twelve per cent., or one-eighth of the weight, of some of the baking powders advertised as pure to be lime, The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder—now affirmad by every chemist and féod analyst of prominence, and conceded by all manufacturers of other beands—arise from the exclusive use of cream of tarta: which is specially refined by patent processes that totall; remove the lime and all other impurities, In his report, the United States Government Chemist says: ‘fhe Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for I have so found it in many tests made for the United States Government.
