A formid able iron railing With conspicuous gate bnrrod the way to a pair of green Baize doors- through which crept the bun and hum of business.

H6nco When they arc able to discover the resistance of the air between ( Which keeps them apart , they leap together , wlth a flash and crack , producing tlio familiar phenomena of thunder arid lightning. , Sometimes another cloud floating near the first one lakes the place of the earth , and then the lightning , flash tak6s pln'co botwcc'ft them.

Thti "bflok stroke" Is nbt due to the dlrctt ftarfh And discharge. It is rather the reac tion after the direct chdrgti hds taken place elsewhere. Suppose , for example , that a track of. uhlartd country , a- rural district with trees , farms , and hero and there a church dot ting It , is covered by a thunder cloud , wjuch induccs.a charge of electricity upon it. . In. order that the charge upon the earth may get nfcarc'r tot that upon the cloud , so'as to' combine with ut the electricity , by a'riothcr wbll-kn6w'n p 6p'erty. will hoap'It v felf 6n tlio hiost riromlriont arid pbinted ob ccte 6l tHe lartdsc'rtpb. That Is td Sav1 , itfill accu mulate on , thov trees , bards' , chlnindy tops arid spires of tbq district. , The whole atmosphere p ( the t regio'n is in n state , of tension and suspense. The bolt is trembling in the balance , but no man knows where it will fall. Presently there is a blinding flash of 'ight , the sky is rent with a lurid streaha If fire , nnd instantly the tdnsloh is ro- ievod. Tile discharge has taken place it one point , the point which offers tllo path of least resistance through the air. and at which the electrical tension whs most critical. At every other place whore the electricity had seriously ac- ( Jumuiatod , there is consequently a sud den fall of electric potential , or a col- "apso to its old condition , or , und it is 3A\lcd \ , a "return stroke. " This Instan taneous change is sometimes as fatal as the direct discharge , nnd it may ruin a building or destroy life several miles froni trie scone of the flash. The return stroke is therefore moro mysterious aud unexpected than the flash , out fatal ottootfl are comparatively rare from it. NovorthelcBssinco the latter have been attributed to this cause a person cannot fcbl quite sdfcalthough a thunder storm with lightning Is still several tniUSs from him ; the number of miles being estim ated by counting tho. seconds which elapse between the flash and the peal , ana allowing a distance of four miles for every second counted. Ho may feel safer than if it were close upon him , but there is room for foar. In fact thbro is no real safety except within the area properly protected by n lightning conductor , or in a building which is itself a protector for Instance a sheet Iron house , Every building then 8h6uld bo protected in order to be safe. In th e'country where these ni-o often isolated , a lightning rod would bo re quired fos each , but ia towns ono rdd would sometimes protect moro than one house around it , according to its heighi and cbnductivlty. The flash tdkoS place At the point ol least resistance , because it is here that the two opposite electricities can easiest rush together. But the engeruess witli which they tend to rush together IE another thing to bo considered. Those two .things taken together "determine the discharge. There may bo less re sistance to the flash at ono house or tree than to another , but if the attraction between the opposite ; electricities is less at the former , the flash may traverse the latter house. Hence one cannot exactly actly say if ono tree or building will b < safer than another. There is great un certainty , nnd this is a reason for tlu instinct of awe nnd uneasiness \vhial most animals feel on the approach of t thunder storm. In general , however , we can say tha' high houses , or those perched on hlgl ground , are moro likely to suffer frou the discharge than small low lyinf housss. The former are therefore al tlio more eligible for protection ; am they are to bo avoided in seeking snol tor from a storm. So are houses sur rounded by trees , and with ponder or pools of water close beside mom for trees act as imperfect light ning rodu have a good earth connection nnd especially if they are wet the dis charge may strike the ground througl thorn , or , in the case of the pond through the water. Ono should n6 shelter under trees of any kind , bu moro especially tall , soft trees , like pop lars. Many deaths have boon incurrei from sheltering under poplar trees it Franco. Thunder storms nre said to bo rnori frequent in open treeless countries , sucl as tlio Transvaal or the Scottish hills and the fact has boon attributed to tin unchecked ascent of electrical vayors but on the other nand they are prob ably less destructive in such countries Chimneys , by creating currents o warm smoke and by their lining of con ducting soot , are dangerous parts o houses , nnd there are rnuny instances o the discharge taking that road. I were bettor , then , to avoid sitting nca a fire in a storm. Indeed , the safes place in the house on such an occasioi would seem to bo in the collar nnd base : mcnt rooms or upon an iron bedstead In the open air there cannot bo a safe place "than A dry hole or ditch , for i places the body below the surface of th ground , and therefore n6t exposed to prominent place. But it should bo1 dry hollow , else tbo water in it may in vite the discharge ; for water , feeing conductor in good connection with th earth , lowers the resistance to the dii charge. _ _ Electric Light/to Private Hotiae * .

" And as Julian Blair gave utterance to this ex clamation he brought his hand down upon hrs desk with tremendous force. The'voung man in his excitement iroso fr6m his chair and paced the floor ofjthe ofjlce. "I made a fool of myself , " he said bit terly.

The old gentle man will regard mo as a fortune hunter and request mo to discontinue my vtsits. Yet the Lord Knows I love Alice , and I would devote my Hfo to her. " Blair looked around the office and took a survey of his scanty possessions. A few articles of furniture , and perhaps a few hundred law books this was all. "It will bo useless , " ho said , "to toll a man like Mr.Howdrd that I will wait for his daughter. He will simply show mo the door , and all will bo over. " The young fellow's frank and manly face wor6 a look of pained embarrass ment. Ho had taken a leap in the dark and was already regretting his has'ty action. The town clock struck the hour of midnight , and Blair retired to his cham ber adjoining his office , nnd made an o ( Tort to sle6p oil his trouble. For some time hb was wide awake. His eyes burned and his brain was in a whirl. At last ho fell into a feverish and disturbed slumcor. In the course of the night a strange thing occurred. Just how it happened ho did jiot clearly understand , but ho had a late visitor , who introduced him self as n lawyer from London. The stranger made profu&o apologias for his untimely visit. "Mr. Blair , " ho said , "I will not de tain you with any preliminaries. You are the heir to the estate of John Blair , one of your uncles who rah away from homo when a moro boy , and settled in Liverpool. Your uncle was remarkably lucky. Ho'found friends , went into business , and in the course ot tiinnmado a fortuno. Ho died a month ago and left you half a million dollars. " Julian proceeded to ask for further information , but the London lawyer pleasantly 'remarked that good news Mould keep. "I must leave in half anhour for New York , " ho said , "but you may cx- p'ect mo back in a week or so'and then the necessary arrangements will bo completed for placing you in possession of your inheritance.
