THK DAMAGE OF LIGHTNING. Mr. Hands has compiled a chart ?bowing the place* known to have been struck In the yoara 1897-1908, and on the chart he hat had to mark 7,791 different spots, and to chron icle damage done to 211 cathedrals, churches and chapels: 2.190 other buildings of various kinds; 2?| ricks and sucks; 1.251 trees, and 298 oth er objects;* while 194 persons have been killed and 1,016 Injured, and there have been 1.207 cases In which animals have been killed, there being either alngle animals or several crea tures killed by one stroke. There have beerf as man? as 49 sheep kill ed In a single flock. The monetary loss Is estimated at 92BO.OOO to 9500, 000 per annum, but obvioualy the "In* tellectual and moral" damages are the more serious.v "When a thunderstorm occurs a stress is thrown on the air, either between two clouds of between a cloud and the earth, and when this stress has reached a pressure of about half a gramme weight to the square Inch, smaah goes the air?It Is literally cracked. The line of the fracture is illuminated by the Intense heat caused, rendering the air-par ticles Incandescent, and we tee this and call It lightning. This is all light ning Is; there la no 'bolt' and no transference of matter from one place to another. To apeak or write of an object as feeing 'struck' by lightning is calculated to produce a wrong Im pression. because It conveys the Idea of a ponderable object giving a blow, ft is really an Incorrect term, but we ?re forced to employ It because It has been so long fa use." A very Interesting example of the effect upon lightning of the presence of points to the temple of 8olomon. Joseph us tells us that the roof tfsx ornamented with points covered with gold; the points, probably, were in tended to prevent birds from settling and so soiling the roof. But the un intended effect was that the temple was perfectly protected from light ning. and In a country In which the thunderstorms are severe and fre quent It stood undamaged for over a thousand years. When the Roman emperor tried to rebuild it. leaving out the points and the gold. It was "struck" at once.?London Specta The Norfolk Southern will begin a? additional train between Washington and Raleigh Monday. August ?.

And be is not the man to bring recruits to the Re publican party. Nobody wants any thing to do with anything that Butler is connected with. His colors are known and everybody knows be Is for Butler J&rst. last and all the time. His being at the head of his party and in control of Its affairs will cause dis trust in the ranks of the party. But he Is a politician of the first water, wily and resourceful, and he may be able to hold them together. And there can be no doubt of the fact that he will make a mean fight. The Dem ocrats may as well get ready for a strenuous campaign, for the new boss of the Republican party Is not going to make any Sunday-schoo lplcnlc of the fight.?Raleigh Times.

FLYING R THK CO.MPA8S. In steering by the compass in the cross-country aeroplane race for Le Matin's prise the French aviators Le Blanc and Aubron have taken an other step forward 1 nthq science of flying. The conditions of the contest are rere. Regardless of wealher. teh con testants are required to make a clr cult or 488 miles in six stages, start ing at Paris and alighting at fixed point*. Rain or shine, to ohld a de fined straight course from station to station, where the landmarks along the route are unfamiliar and no rail road or highway serves to mark the ?oortest line of flight, is a difficult beet. By using the navigator's best Trlend, the faithful compass, the two airmen In the lead have so far avoid ed any loss of time. The question of speed with the aeroplane has been pretty well mas tered. The factor of stability in un certain weather still calls for study, islde from individual experience and ?kill In operating the machine. But as a practical matter the ability to travel ovir unknown country and fol low a tflBLcourse between two dls tant PoUn where the upper air Is as open fifthe aeroplane as the high ?ea to a ?fcumshlp Is of first import ?nce.

Attend* Htatr* Convention of County Commissioners. Mr. TtaomaH Green, of Pantego. was In the city esteraay on his way borne from Charlotte, where he rep resented Beaufort county at the an nual meeting of the State Associa tion of County Commissioners of North Carolina. The association was Besslon two days and Ashevllle was choesn for the next place or meeting. Mr. Green made the opening prayer of the association and took a promi nent part in the deliberations. One of the commissioners from an other county stated on the floor that Beaufort county was the only coanty in North Carolina that had a preach er of tl)e gospel on the Board of Com missioners, and he was surprised to ascertain the fact, for the reason all the county commissioners hare to now and then use words not akin to the 8unday-school. Said, however, be did not perform this task in bis coun ty, as be had engaged a most excel lent substitute to do it for blm. Mr. Green speaks In most excel lent terms of hlB trip. There weTe 60 representatives present, and the as sociation was enthusiastic all the ws# through. There were several import ant questions discussed, among them being county road work, salaries for county officers as against fees, con crete and steel bridge work, and the best methods of conducting county affairs. - ,14 It was agitated before the associa tion that the date of listing taxes be changed from June 1 to January 1. Some of the reasons given for this move waa that the farmers have their supply of - corn, hay. peas. hogs. etc.. on hand In January, while In Jane most of this is gone. The argument was advanced that if this change was made the commissioners would be in a better osltion to make levies with the tax list before them. The com missioners met. stated Mr. Green, for the purpose or discussing problems that confront them In the adminis tration of the affairs of their coun ties, for the exchange of Ideas and the passing of opinions and to rsocial Intercourse. In the 8tate there are nearly 50a commissioners, and they know p4Miaps better than any other men or set of men, the needs of the people, because they are fresher from Uiem.
