DEATH ON LIGHTNING'S WING
Atory of a Treble Iarldent of Thaa
dor Storm that Was Never
Forsrottea.
George D. Prentice, the famous Kentucky
editor of ante-bellum times, drew this
.thrilling pen picture of an August thunder
storm: "I never wss a man of feeble courage.
There are few scenes of either human or
elemental strife upon which I have not
looked with a brow Of daring. I hsve stood
In the front of the battle when the swords
were gleaming and circling around me like
fiery serpents in the air. I have seen these
things with a swelling soul, that knew not,
that recked out danger.
"But there Is something In the thunder's
voice that makes me tremble like a child.
I have tried to overcome this unmanly
weakness. I have called pride to my eld;
I have sought for moral courage tn the les
sons of philosophy, but It avails me noth
ing. At the first low Moaning of the dis
tant cloud my heart ahrlnks and dies wiihin
me.
"My Involuntary dread of thunder had Its
origin In an Incident that occurred when
I was a boy of 10 .years. I had a little
cousin, a girl of tbe ssme age with myself,
who had been the constant companion of
my youth. Strsnge that, after a lapse of
many years, that occurrence should be ' so
familiar to me! I can see the bright young
creature, her eyes flashing like a beautiful
gemi her free locks streaming as In Joy
upon the rising gale and her cheeks glow
ing like a ruby through a wreath of trans
parent snow.
"Her voice had the melody and Joyouaness
of a bird's, and when she bounded over the
wooded hill or fresh green valley, shouting
a glad answer to every voice of nature and
clasping her little hands in the ecstasy of
young existence-, she looked ss If breaking
away, like a free nightingale, from the
earth and going oft where all things are
beautiful, like her.
It was a morning tn the middle of Au
gust. The little girl had been passing some
days at my father's house, and she was
now to return home. Her "path lay across
the .fields and gladly I became the com
panion of her walk. I never knew a sum
mer morning more beautiful and still. Only
one little cloud was visible, and that seemed
a pure and white and peaceful as If It had
been the Incense smoke of some burning
censor of the skiea.
"The leaves hung silent in the woods, the
waters In the bay had forgotten their un
dulations, the flowers were bending their
heads, as If dreaming of the rainbow and
dew, and the whole atmosphere waa of such
a soft and luxurious sweetness that It
seemed a cloud of roses scattered down by
the hands of Perlra from the afnr-off gar
den of Paradise. .The green earth and the
blue sea lay around. In their boundlessness,
and the peaceful sky bent over and blessed
them.
"The little creature at my side waa In de
lirium of happiness, and her clear, sweet
voice came ringing upon the air as often
as she heard the tones of a favorite bird.
or found some strange lovely flower In her
frolic wanderings. The unbroken and al
most supernatural stillness of the day con
tinued until noon. Then, for the first time,
the indications of, an approaching tempest
became manifest. , .
"On the summit of a mountain, at the dis
tance of about a mile, the folds of a dark
cloud beoune suddenly visible, and, the
same Instant, a hollow roar came down
upon the winds, as If It had been the sound
of waves In a rock cavern. The cloud
rolled out like a banner unfolded upon
the air, but still, the atmosphere was as
calm and thei leaves as motionless as before-;
and there" vviis not even a quiver
among the.. sleeping waters to tell of the
coming hurricane. -
"To cecape the tempest was Impossible.
As the only resort, , we , fled to ,an' oak
that stood at the foot of a tall and ragged
precipice. Here, we stood, and gazed al
most breathlessly upon the clouds, mar
shaling themselves like bloody giants in
the sky. The thunder was not frequent,
but every burst was so fearful that the
young creature who stood by me shut her
eyes convulsively and clung with desperate
strength to my arm, and shrieked as if her
heart, would break. .
"A few minutes and the storm was upon
us. During the height of Its fury, the lit
tle girl lifted her finger toward the preci
pice that towered over us. I looked, and
saw there a purple light. And the next
moment the clouds opened, the rocks tot
tered to their foundations, a, roar like the
groan of the universe filled the air, and I
felt myself blinded, and thrown, I know
not whither. How . long I remained In
(83
' f ' 'J s
l - ' . t f :
. lk I . V' i
sensible I cannot tell; but wTen conscious
ness returned, the violence ,ot the tern
pest wss abating, the roar of the wind
was dying In the tree tops, and the dee)
tones of thunder clouds came In falntei
murmurs from the eastern hills.
"I arose and looked tremblingly and al
most deliriously around. She was there,
the dear Idol of my Irffant love, stretched
out upon the green enrth. After a mo
ment of Irresolution I went up and looked
upon her. Tbe handkerchief upon her neck
was slightly rent, and a single dark spot
upon her bosom told where the pathway
of death had been. At first I rlaapedJ
her to my breast with a cry of agony, and
then laid her down, and gazed upon her
face almost with feelings of calmness.
"Her bright, disheveled hair clustered
sweetly around her brow; the look of
terror had faded from her Hps, and Infant
smiles were pictured there; the rose tinge
upon her cheeks was lovely as In life; and,
as I pressed them to my own, the foun
tains of tears were opened, and I wept
as If my heart were waters. I have but
a dim recollection of what followed. I
only know that I remained weeping and
motionless till the coming twilight, and I
was taken tenderly by the hand and led
away where t saw the countenance of par
ents and sister.
"Many years have gone by en the wings
Of light and shadow, but the scenes I have
portrayed still come over me at times
with terrible, distinctness. The oak yet
stands at the base of the precipice, but

"A year ago I visited the spot, and the
thought of bygone years came mourn
fully back to me. I thought of the little
Innocent being who fell by my side, like
some beautiful tree of spring, rent up by
the whirlwind tn the midst of blossoming.
But I remembered, and oh, there was Joy
In the memory, that she had gone where
no lightnings slumber In the folds of the

Springfield, -O., is the home of the small
eat trust. It' Is largely a one-man affair
and the employes number three, yet this

product of Its shop.
Every big watch sign that swings above
the shops of watchmakers snd Jewelers the
country over is made in Springfield, unlens
it was manufactured back In the days be

og, turns out all the signs that are used
n America ell thst are more than four
feet In height. There may be Jewelers who
have commissioned mechanics to make In
dividual signs for them, but Barnhart has
not a competitor In the United States,
Canada or Mexico.
There le not a week that he doee not re
ceive Inquiries from foreign countries, but
all foreign orders he declines, the duty and
cost of transportation of the bulky tlgns
making It unprofitable to send them so far.
His stsple style Is a watch six feet and a
half from base to top of tha ring. It la
made of sheet sine and weighs seventy-five
pounds. There is one larger slse, eight feet
high. These monster watches he keeps In
stock, though the calls for them are few.
Mr. Barnhart has been m the business
eighteen years. Eight years he spent In
Chicago, the remainder of the time In
Springfield. With two exception every
sign In Springfield hss been made by him,
and those two are small ones, made of Iron.
Eighty per cent of his- product are Illumi
nated signs. A few observant people have
found it out for themselves and others have
had their attention called to the fact that
nearly every watch sign In the country has
Its hands painted to Indicate 8:18 o'clock.
One of the most common explanations Is
that a maker of signs who was painting a
dial when Abraham Lincoln was shot
marked the hour with his brush and ever
since that time makers of signs have fol
lowed the precedent.
"I have heard the story," said Mr. Barn
hart, "but there is nothing to It. A good
many signs were painted with the handa
In that polstlon before Lincoln ever became
president."
The fact of the matter Is that thla posi
tion is the only one in which the hands
balance properly and at the same time give
an arrangement on the dial to allow the
proper display of the watchmaker's name.
It would not look just light to have the
hands point straight away from each other,
as they would at seventeen minutes after
nine, and no other arrangement gives
room for the lettering. Ohio State Journal.

lends It credibility. Paulsen himself Is an
Ingenious and reputable Inventor. He Is
best known as the author of apparatue for
recording a telephone message auto
matically when, the person for whom the
latter Is designed la away. The device la
a form of phonograph, and In certain re
spects Is materially different from the Ed
ison Instrument There seems to be ao
doubt aa t the rffldeney of the mechanism,
but as yet It has not been Introduced Into
service. Perhspe It never will be. The
managers of telephone exchanges In Eu
rope and America, do not aeem to have
discovered an overpowering oad of It
A second reason exists for treating tho
latest announcement about Paulsen with
respect. Other men have jjone something?
of the same kind with Herts waves. Sev
eral Inventors have shown how to control
the steering appsratus of a- submarine
torpedo, from lend or a ship without a
wire. ' The system has not yet been
adopted by any navy tn the world. The
demonstrations thus far given hsve been,
made with models, snd for exhibition pur
poses only. From these it seems probable
that certain simple mechanical operations,
like the moving of tiny rodder, can be
.directed from a distance. T manipulate
thirty er forty keys, either upon a type
writer or a Linotype mschlne, would be a
much more difficult task, because K In
volves greater mechanical . and etedtrlcal
complications. Nevertheless It Is appar
ently not. Impossible. A r writer about
"Curious Inventions" In Caasler'a Magasln
for August briefly describes a wireless
electric typewriter. The Inventor of It ta
not named, but tha apparatus Is men
tioned Immediately after', the "telegra
phone" of Paulsen, and tt I said to bo
"stilt In the experimental stage." 1
Were It thoroughly practicable to control
a typewriter by such method, the device
could not come Into general use unless It
were cheaper and more simple than thoee
printing telegraphs which use ordinary
electricity and a wire a possibility which
Is extremely remote. Again, It is unlikely
that In any well regulated newspaper offloe
It will ever be deemed expedient to put
new dispatches Into type without th
Interposition of a "copy" editor. Talk
about controlling Linotypes directly from
a distance, therefore, is a trifle absurd.
