Lightning In Arizona.
Tiis Dalles, Or., Feb. 19th, 1892.
Editor of the Chronicle:
Having seen the an item going the
rounds of the papers I feel it as my duty
to contradict it. It is etated in the
item that there has not been
but one thunder storm in Arizona in
fourteen years. A more flagrant false
hood has not come to my notice during
the time mentioned. I lived in Arizona
more than three years and a half during
the last eleven years, and during that
three years a half heurd more dreadful,
deafening thunder, and saw more fear
ful lightning than I aver saw in three
times three years and a half any where
else. It was a thing of general remark
w hen I first arrived in the territory iu
November 1881, that there had been
seven persons killed by lightning within
the year. During tho following year I
was over the ground or near the spot
where four of the seven were killed.
ihreeof them were tie cutters in the
San Francisco mountains, nnrl tliofnrti.

was Frank Shaw. I do not write this
because ; I dislike the country, the
climate, or the people, for outside of the
thunder and -lightning it is the most
pleasant and desirable climate that I
was ever in. ' But I do dislike falsehood
in any form and therefore feel it my
duty to expose it so far as I am able.

Ivy on Walls.
A friend recently called attention to a'
case which he thought subverted our
view that the ivy growing . on walls
tended to make them dry rather than
damp. On looking at the case we find
that the .wall was covered with the
Ampelopsis veitchii, or, as it is called.
Japan ivy, and that the vines had been
suffered to grow over the shingle roof of
tne nonse some tour or five feet from
the gable end. and that the spouts and
other water conduit were comnletalr
choked by this growth-of vine and fill
ing up with leaves.
It is no wonder that a house should be
damp under such circumstances. It
should not be forgotten that the vines
on walls must never be allowed to reach
.the roof or clamler in the gutters, but
must be confined entirely to the vertical
surface of the walls on which they grow
The innumerable number of small root
lets absorbing moisture continually Gen
erally make walls so dry and - hard that
it has been found at times in thaOWl
World, when necessnry to take down a
building, almost impossible to do so on
account of the extreme hardness of thi
mortar," which has been kept dry for ho
many years through the agency of these
roots. The case we have referred to
shows how often a good idea may he
spoiled - byl reason of the thoughtless
manner in which the idea i3 carried ont.

Future Warfare.
With regard to "smokeless powder,"
Colonel Lonsdale Hale observes that,
though the report of the rifles when fired
is heard, it is very difficult to see whence
the rifles are fired. Under certain con
ditions no trace of smoke can be distin
guished. Minor acts of surprise, he con
siders, will be more frequent in the
future, and will often partake of the
nature of ambuscades. Very small
bodies of cavalry, intimately connected
with infantry, forming in action patrols
with the latter, will therefore be neces
sary, and it will no longer be possible to
discover will posted batteries. -
On the. whole. Colonel Hale considers
that only a war can absolutely decide
what the effects of the
Syweve? I
smaii arms win De. une tiling. However,
is certain that is, that the difficulty of
leading - ti-oops has considerably in-ru-eased..
