r- CUfflOUS LIGHTNING.
Remarkable 8ilent Diaohargea That
Play About the Andes.
Remarkable displays of so called
“heat lightning” are often observed
along the crest of the Andes and
are sometimes visible far out at
sea. Thunderstorms are rare in
Chile, and this fact may possibly be
explained by the assumption that
the Andes act as a gigantic light
ning rod between which and the
clouds silent discharges take place
on a vast scale.
The visible discharges occur dur
ing the warm season, from late
spring to autumn, and appear to
come especially from certain fixed
points. They are confined almost
exclusively to the Andes proper or
cordillera real as distinguished
from the coast cordillera. Viewed
from a favorable point near their
origin there is seen to be at times a
constant glow around the summits
of the mountains, with occasional
outbursts, which often simulate the
beams of a great searchlight and
may be directed westward so as to
extend out over the ocean. The
color of the light is pale yellow or
rarely reddish.
One striking feature of these dis
charges is that they are especially
magnificent during earthquakes.
At the time of the great earthquake
of August, 1900, throughout cen
tral Chile the whole sky seemed to
be on fire.
The natives regard these lights as
the reflection in the sky of the glow
ing lava in the craters of volcanoes,
but there seems to be no doubt that
they are electrical discharges.
It is planned to make spectro
scopic observations of this singular
phenomenon and also, if possible,
measurements of the electrical state
of the atmosphere in the high
Andes, where it appears to have its
origin. Possibly the result may be
to connect up “Andes lightning”
with a peculiar form of aurora
which has been observed by Lein
strom over mountain summits.

Last Man In the Stocks.
The punishment of the stocks
has been inflicted within the mem
ory of many living men. In the
Manchester Guardian of June 14,
1872, there is an account of a man
enduring this form of legal torture
at Newbury. He was a rag and bone
dealer of intemperate habits and
was fixcdain the stocks for drunk
and disorderly conduct at the parish
church. “Twenty-six years had
I elapsed since the stocks were last
used,” runs the account, “and their
reappearance created no little sen
sation and amusement, several
hundreds of persons being attract
ed to the spot where they were
fixed.” The “amusement” does not
appear to have been shared by the
prisoner, who was released after
four hours and seemed anything
but pleased with the laughter and
derision of the crowd. — London
Chronicle.

Should Give Something.
i Coming out of a theater the other
, night the shrill voice of a woman
sounded high and clear above the
noise of tramping feet and of street
cars, says the Baltimore Sun.
“I never went to such a stupid
play,” said the woman, “They
didn’t give away a single thing.
Why, they didn’t even spray us with
perfume. It seems to me that
every manager should have learned
by this time that women expect
some little souvenir when they go
to the theater, even if it’s only a
lingering odor of violets in ‘their
hair.”
“Violets,” growled a man beside
her. “Violets! Why, in the theaters
in Vienna they spray you with a
disinfectant, llow would you like
that?”
I -
Ponies of Iceland.
Icelandic ponies, which are being
impressed into the service of the
Swiss army, aroused the admiration
of -the great traveler, Mine. Ida
Pfeiffer. “In spite of scanty food,”
she wrote, “they have marvelous
powers of endurance. They can
travel from thirty-five to forty
miled^jer diem for several consecu- i
tive days. They know by instinct
the dangerous spots in the stony
wastes and in the moors and
swamps. On approaching these
places they bend their heads to
ward the earth and look sharply
round on all sides. If they cannot
discover a firm resting place for
their feet they stop at, once and
cannot be urged forward without
many blows.
Remarkabls Vision.
An old woman who had been in
the infirmary with sore eyes told a
neighbor that the doctor took ottt
her eyes and scraped them...-with
lances. “Nonsense, woman,” re
plied the other. “Ye shouldn’t be
lieve all ye hear. The doctors
would only be stuffin’ ye.” “Oh,
but ye know it’s no use sayin’ that,
for I awakened up out of the chlo
roform and saw both of my eyes ly
in’ on the table!”
