A STROKE OF LIGHTNING.
It Vleted Bill Nye While K.Uteuln
to a Concert.
Denver Opinion.
Last week we went up to the Coliseum at
Minneapolis to hear Theodore Thomas1 or
chestra, the Wagner trio and Christine Nils
on. The Coliseum is a large rink just out of
Minneapolis on the road between that city
and St. Paul. It can seat 4JD00 people
comfortably, but the management like to
wedge 4,500 people in there on a warm
day and then watch the perspiration
trickle out through the clapboard
on tho outride. On the closing after
noon, during the matinee performance, the
building was struck by lightning and a hole
knocked out of the Corinthian duplex that
surmounts the oblique portcullis on the off
side. The' reader will see at once the location
of the bolt. The lightning struck the flag
staff, ran down the leg of a man who was
repairing the electric light, took a chew of
his tobacco, turned his boot wrong side out
and induced him to change his sock, toyed
with a chilblain, wrenched out a soft corn
and roguishly put it in his ear, then ran
down the electric light wire, a part of it fill
ing an engagement in the Coliseum and the
balance following the wire to the depot,
where it made double-pointed toothpicks of a
pole fifty feet high. All this was done very
Lriefly.
Those who have seen lightning toy with a
cottonwood tree know that the fluid makes a
specialty of it at once and in a brief manner.
The lightning in this case broke the glass in
the skylight, and deposited the broken f rag
ments on a half-dozen parquette chairs that
were empty because the speculators who
owned them couldn't get but $50 apiece, and
were waiting for a man to mortgage his resi
dence and sell a team. He couldn't make
the transfer in time for a matinee, so the
seats were vacant when th lightning struck.
The immediate and previous fluid then shot
athwart the auditorium in the direction of
the platform, where it nearly frightened to
death a large chorus of children. Women
fainted, ticket speculators fell $2 on desirable
seats, and strong men coughed up a clove.
The scene beggared description. I intended
to have said that before, but forgot it.
Theodore Thomas drew a full breath, and
Christine Nilsson drew her salary. Two
thousand strong men thought of their wasted
lives, and 2,000 women felt for their back
hair to see if it was still there. I say, there
fore, without successful contradiction, that
the scene beggared description.
A World la Pawn.
Federal Australian.
. The idea of the whole globe being hypo the-
1 . 1 . .11.' A J 1 ... a
catea Dy countless minions oi aeoiors to
calculable number of creditors is a very
startling one, when it is abruptly and
nakedly presented. And it is difficult to
imagine so vast an estate in liquidation, or to
conjecture to what bankruptcy court the
creditors would prove their debts, or who
would be the official assignees to collect and
distribute the assets.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that the
whole world is in pawn, and that its balance
sheet shows U3 an aggregate of liabilities
which is absolutely appalling. They have
been summed up in The Fortnightly Review
by ilr. A. J. Wilson, an experienced writer
on financial subjects, aud the total is the
stupendous sum of 5,394,000,000 an amount
which, if represented in sovereigns, it would
take a man 172 years to count, at the rate of
a sovereign a minute, without a moment's
cessation from beginning to end.
To defray the interest on this enormous
debt requires 200,000,000 per annum, which
Mr. Wilson represents to be fully equal to
the entire earnings of 8,000,000 of people; and
-did each individual in these 8,000,000 sup
port a family of three persons only beside him
self, the interest upon these debts would im
ply the absorption of the entire support of a
population equal to that of. the united
Kingdom."
Of course, a calculation of this kind takes
no account of the debts owing by municipali
ties, counties, cities, railway, canal, gas,
water, insurance and other public companies.
But these would assume still vaster propor
tions, for the capital sunk in railways alone is
4,000,000,000, and this is of course a debt
owing to bond and shareholders; while the
local debts state and city in the Lmted
States amount to 175,030,000. The mother
country is the greatest pawnbroker in the
world, and draws 230,000,000 per annum
from the nations and colonies indebted to her.
Mr. Wilson is of opinion that the time has
arrived when a stop should be put to this
system of mortgaging the future to meet the
expenditure of the present, and when Eng
land, more particularly, should begin to ex
tinguish her existing liabilities. But his ad
vice is not likely to attract much attention.
Nations are just as improvident as individu
als, and not one of them has ever been de
terred from rushing into a war of ambition
or aggrandizement by considerations of the
burdens it was entailing on posterity; and the
United States is the only one which has taken
prompt measures to extricate itself from a
national debt.
Value or American Locomotives.
"Gath" in New York Tribune.
A friend said to me at Long Branch that
there were 33,000 locomotives in the Union,
end that they were worth not less than $10,
000 apiece, and more nearly $15,000, and that
we had facilities here for turning out twenty
new locomotives a day, and that the locomo
tive factories in general were running strong
even now. If the above figures be correct the
locomotives in the United States ha cost
not far from $400,000,000, a sum of money
which would have frightened the soul of
James K. Polk when fighting the Mexican war
for during that war his gizzard was greatly
agitated for fear he would bankrupt the na
tion, and with unseemly haste he ordered a
treaty to be bought, begged or stolen, so the
war Could be stopped.

Death to Prairie Doge and Ante.
(Leadville Cor. Dallas Herald.
Some three years ago, while making a trip
across the continental divide, I stopped for
dinner at a road-side tavern, situated in a
creek valley; close at hand was a prairie dog
town, numbering over 500 inhabitants.
Not long since, I had occasion to stop
at the same house, and saw that the small
level prairie, once occupied by prairie dogs,
had been inclose plowed, and was then cov
ered with a luxuriant crop of grass. Seeing
no signs of the little beasts, upon asking what
had become of them, I was told they had
been-exterminated in the following way:
Balls of cotton or rags were saturated with
bi-sulphide of carbon an impure preparation
will do and is cheap pushed far down into
the holes, and the holes firmly packed with
earth. Bi-sulphide of carbon being an ex
tremely volatile fluid, quickly evaporates and
forms a heavy gas, which occupies every
chamber and gallery of the animal s dwelling.
This gas is as promptly fatal to animal life as
the fumes of burning sulphur or carbolic acid
gas.
My informant also destroyed in a similar
way several colonies of large ants, of the
same species as those found in Texas. He
built a fire close to the ant-bed, shoveled the
earth forming the ant-hill into the fire, so as
to burn up the ants contained in it with their
young, then scraped the surface of the
ground clean, and waited a while to give the
ants a chance to clear the tunnels from any
earth that may have dropped into them. A
ball of cotton saturated with bi-sulphide of
carbon w as placed in the center of the bed,
covered over with a tin vessel large enough
to embrace the greater number, if not all the
outlets, and earth was packed about the tin,
so as to exclude air. Next day the tin was
removed. He showed me the sites of several
beds in his yard where the ants had been
killed in this manner. Since then, while in
Colorado Springs, I was told this plan has
been successfully used in California for a
number of years; it was used for the exter
mination of gophers, yellow-jackets, and all
ether burrowing animals and insects.
Chased by a Spider.
Gentleman's Magazine.
The king of the spiders on the pampas
is not a Jiygale, but a Lycosa of extraor
dinary feize, light pray m color, with a
black ring around its middle. It is active
and swift, and irritable to such a degree
that one can scarcely help thinking that in
this species nature has overshot her mark.
When a person passes near one, say within
three or lour yards of its lurking-place, it
starts up and gives chase, and will often
follow for a distance of thirty or forty
yards. I came once very nearly being bit
ten by one of these savage creatures. Rid
ing at an easy trot over the dry grass, I
suddenly observed a spider pursuing me,
leaping swiftly along and keeping up with
my beast I aimed a blow with my whip,
and the point of the lash struck the ground
close to it, when it instantly leaped upon
and ran up the lash, and was actually
within three or four inches of my hand
when I flung the whip from me. The
gauchos have a very quaint ballad which
tells that the city of Cordova was once in
vaded by an army of monstrous spiders,
and that the townspeople went out, with
beating drums and flags flying, to repel
the invasion, and after firing several vol
leys they were forced to turn and fly for
their lives. I have no daubt that a sudden
increase of the man-chasing spiders, in a
year exceptionally favorable to them, sug
gested this fable to some rhyming satirist
of the town.

Breaking Bridges by Vibration.
)n answer to the question, "Is it true
that the marching of a body of soldiers,
in regular military step, has been known
to cause the falling of a bridge?" The
Manufacturer and Builder has the fol
lowing: The statement is substantiated
by the strongest kind of evidence. We
believe that it is a rule observed by
marching armies, when they cross a
bridge, to stop the music, break step and
open column, lest the measured cadence
of a condensed body of men should
cause the bridge to vibrate so greatly as
to endanger its stability or to cause it to
fall. Numerous instances of accidents
caused by the neglect of this rule are re
corded. For example, the Broughton
bridge, near Manchester, gave way be
neath the measured tread of only sixty
men who were marching over it. A
chain bridge, crossing the River Dor
dogne near Bordeaux, about the year
1850, gave way from a similar cause.
The terrible disaster which befell a
battalion of French troops a few years
since while in the act of crossing the sus
pension bridge at Angiers, in France, is
one of the most convincing evidences of
the extreme danger from the cause here
named. The facts, as recorded, are as
follows: "Reiterated warnings were given
to the troops to break into sections, as is
usually done. But the rain was falling
heavily, and in the hurry of the moment,
the orders were disregarded. The bridge,
which was only 12 years old, and
which had been repaired the year before
at a cost of $7,000, fell, and 280 dead
bodies were found, besides many who
were wounded."
A bridge, or similar structure, may be
crowded with people going and coming,
with cavalry or with cattle, with in
finitely less danger than with the far less
weight of a body of men going over it in
regular marching order. In the latter
case the structure is set into vibration,
which every step that is taken adds
to, until the swing becomes so violent1
that it may overcome its powers of re
sistance and cause it to give way at its
weakest point. In the former case a
multitude of vibrations are set up in the
structure, but being irregular that is,
non-synchronous one is neutralized by
another and no effect is produced.
It has often been noted as a singular
fact that large trees have been uprooted
by wind storms of no unusual violence,
which have withstood much more violent
gales. An explanation of this mystery
which appears to us to be very plausi
ble, may be found in the facts above de
tailed. The wind in powerful gales fre
quently comes in gusts, which cause the
tree to swing, and if these gusts happen
to be so timed as to coincide with the
natural swing of the tree each successive
impulse swings it more powerfully, until
at length it is uprooted by a wind which,
had it blown steadily, would have done
it no damage.

"Yes," continued President White, "I
should like to know how this grim visi

but speak the words that were perhaps
struggling for utterance the moment he

"Perhaps we might get them out with

BAFFLED!
One of the Host Unaccountable and
Dangerous or Recent Deceits
Discovered and Kxposed.
There is some mysterious trouble that
is attacking nearly every one in the land
with more or less violence. It seems to
steal into the body like a thief in the night.
Doctors cannot diagnose it. Scientists are
puzzled by its symptoms. It is, indeed, a
modern mystery. Like those severe and
vague maladies that attack horses and
prostrate nearly all the animals in the
land, this subtle trouble seems to menace
mankind. Many of the victims have pains
about the chest and fides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especially in the
morning. A strange, sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite Is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy load upon
the stomach; sometimes a faint, all-gone
sensation is felt at the pit of the stomach,
which food does not satisfy. The eyes
grow sunken, the hands and feet feel
clammy at one time and burn intensely at
others. After a while a cough sets in, at
first dry, but after a few months it is at
tended with a erevish-colored expectora
tion. The afflicted one feels tired all the
while, and sleep does net seem to afford
any rest. He becomes nervous, irritable,
ana gloomy, and has evil forebodings.
There is a giddiness, a peculiar whirling
sensation in the head when rising up sud
denly. The bowels become costive, and
then, again, outflux intensely; the skin
is dry Kind hot at times; the blood grows
thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes
become tinged with yellow; the urine is
scanty and high-colored, depositing a sed
iment after standing. There is frequently
a spitting up of the food, sometimes with
a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweet
ish taste; this is often attended with pal
pitation of the heart, The vision becomes
Impaired, with spots before the eyes; there
is a feeling of prostration and great weak
ness. Most of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that nearly one
third of our population have this -disorder
in some of its varied forms, while medical
men have almost wholly mistaken its na
ture. Some have treated it for one com-
Elaint: some for another, but nearly all
ave failed to reach the seat of the disor
der. Indeed, many physicians are afflicted
with it themselves. The experience of Dr.
A. G. Richards, residing at 408 Tremont
street, Boston, is thus described by him
self: "I had all those peculiar and painful
symptoms which I nave found afflicting
so many of my patients, and which had so
often baffled me. I knew all the commonly
established remedies would be unavailing
for I had tried them often in the past. 1
therefore determined to strike out in a
new path. To my intense satisfaction I
found that I was improving. The dull,
stupid feeling departed and I began to en
joy life once more. My appetite returned.
My sleep was refreshing. The color of my
face, which had been a sickly yellow, grad
ually assumed the pink tinge of health. In
the course of three weeks I felt like a new
man and know that it was wholly owing
to the wonderful efficacy of Warner's Tip
pecanoe The Best, which was all the med
icine I took."
Doctors and scientists often exhaust
their hkill and the patient dies. They try
everything that has been used by, or is
known to the profession, and then fail.
Even if they save the life it is often after
great and prolonged agony. Where all this
can be avoided by precaution and care,
how insane a thing it is to endure such
suffering! With a pure and palatable
preparation within reach, to neglect its
use is simply inexcusable.
