The wire should vnnrl spvpral feet above the top of Sfl i the chimney or roof. Such rods H j should be put on houses not otherwise ' protected, and it is important tnac tin roofs, metal decks, or metal or naments, on the tops of roofs, towers, steeples, etc., should be metallically connected with the ground either by downspouts or wire, or froth. If i this is done, metal roofs are the safest of all. . , x. I Tall trees afford fair protection tc houses, if near enough. Barns are I more liable to be struck than hous es for several reasons; barns are not apt to have any rod or chimney pro tection; barns are usually built in an open lot free from trees; and barns have so much combustible material in them, in the way of hay, fodder, etc., that any slight spark due to lightning which might not set a house on fire would probably ignite the inflamable contents of a barn. Warning should given against tht unscientific and expensive rods often put up on houses, which trail from one end of the roof to the other like vines and have many bends in them. They may do more harm than good. When a person is really struck by lightning, (which seems to happen most frequently because he very fooi ishly takes shelter under a tree dur ing a thunder storm,) he rarely es capes death. Usually he suffers burns, broken bones, and such a se vere shock that death is immediate. But it is safe to say that nine out of every ten persons reported struck by lightning arc not even touched by lightning. They are snocicea more or less severely by what is known as the return shock; which means an electrical shock to the nervous sys tem due to a charge of electricity rushing up from the ground through the epinal cord to the head when lightning strikes a tree, house or church near by. An explanation, of this effect would take up too much space, but it is most severe when the person is in contact with wet ground, les severe when he is on dry ground or sand, and it is rarely felt at all when ht is standing on a dry plank or fioor, though persons frequently imagin that they feel an electric chock when in truth it is only the nervous shock ,ino n the sudden bright flash anu terrifying report of the lightning.

The prince of the realm has fallen in love with Ev elyn, a circus girl, and plans to elope with her, but is prevented by the sud den death of the king and his acces sion to the throne. Her lover, who had been willing to renounce his kingdom for the sake of the girl he loves told that Evelyn and their child have been drowned and marries a wo man of royal blood. Evelyn becomes a wandered and finally joins a travel ing circus. Through all the hard ships she subsequently endures Pete, a trained chimpanzee, is her devoted friend. One day Pete, realzing that Evelyn is mourndng for her child who has died, determines to secure one for her. So he climbs over the palact walls, snatches the king's baby from the royal crib and runs with it to the top of a 360-foot chimney. Evelyn decides to save the king's hair. Reach ing the top of the chimney, she tears the baby from Pete's grip and hurls the monkey to his death, la ter, during a spectacular performance for the king, in which Evelyn is to appear, the circus catches on fire. In the panic that ensues the queen dies of shock. In the end the king gives up his crown and weds the girl who has been so faithful and de voted. Don't miss it. MARGUERITE CLARKE AT PASTIME TODAY The following is a synopsis of "Tm. Fortunes of Fifi'" a Paramount pic ture featuring Marguerite Clark which will be shown at the Pastime theatre, this afternoon and night: Marguerite Clark makes her first appearance on the screen following her great triumph in the Famous Players Paramount adaptation of "Snow White," in another adaptation Molly Elliot Seawell's play "The For tunes of Fifi," the tale of a little French actress. It is the attraction at the Pastime theatre Tuesday, Au gust 21st. Fifi is first seen as a delightful Pi errot in a little French provincial play that Jis a dismal failure despite her every effort to put life and ginger into the rest of the cast.. But am ong the few who comprised the last audience was old Cartouche, a veter an of the Napoleonic wars who had turned when his wounds no longer al lowed him to follow his general. Car touche is captivated by Fifi and de cides to try to get the little girl a position with the Imperial theatre in Paris, of which he is a member. Through his efforts Fifi is employed at the Imperial m a very small way and the veteran takes the youthful ac tress to his lodgings spreading his protective wing over her. Fifi, however, fails to understand just how much Cartouche is doing for her, and when he gives her money to buy some clothes for herself, she pro ceeds to purchase a toy dog called To to. The veteran later buys a govern ment lottery ticket and insists upon presenting it to Fifi. The ticket is declared to be the winning number and Fifi finds herself in possession of a fortune! But a new problem is presented, for Cartouche decides that Fini must be educated. He applies to his old general who suggests that Fifi be sent to the home of Louis Bourcet, a young attorney who lives alone with his mother. Instead of putting her money in the bank as she is instructed to do,, she hides it in her mattress and pro ceeds to startle the Bourcet family by her wild extravagances. They seen decide that Fifi has even mora money than they thought and Louis begins to see in the wealthy Fifi a very acceptable wife. He according ly makes what he believes to be "love" to the girl, and she impishly accepts his proffer. Then she sets about to make him break the engagement by squander ing her money, realizing that she is desperately in love with Cartouche and that it is her money which stands between herself and the soldier. Ac cordingly she buys the most impossi ble things with her money, scandal izing the Bourcet family into a com plete renunciation of all interest in her by giving the remainder of her wealth to a charitable benefit for old soldiers. Ejected from the very house by the angry Mme. Bourcet Fifi returns to the Imperial where she demands much more money for her services because she has been publicly thanked by the general for her donation to charity. She tells Cartouche that she loves him, but the old soldier refuses to permit her to "throw herself away" upon him until Fifi gets an inspira tion of her own. Don't fail to see it at the Pastime tomy. 5 I . gnnakBRBisDBnanDnBBnnnBnnnBnnnnnnnnnoBO DON'T SUFFER from corns or bunions get Nyals corn remover and end the trouble at once.
