Suffragists Are, Displeased! by' His ' Remarks to Them pemoastrsv tlon Is Strong Chief Executive is . Unmoved by Their Expression of Hostility and Makes Jolly Retort. Washington," April 14. The Pres ident of the United States, the first Chief Executive of the nation ever to greet a convention of woman suffra gists, hraved the danger tonight of facing an army of women who' want the ballot, had the courage to con fess his opinion and was hissed. So great was the throng that sought ad mission , to the . hall that vhundreds were turned away, :, President Taft was welcoming to Washington' the delegates' to the convention of trie National American Woman . Suffrage Association. He had frankly told them that he was not altogether In sympathy with the suffrage movement and was explain lng why he could not- subscribe fully to its principles. He said he thought one of the dangers in granting suf frage to women was that the women as a whole were not Interested in it and that the power of the ballot as far as woman Is concerned would be controlled by the "less desirable class." . - When these words fell from the President's lips the walls of the con vention hall echoed a chorus of fem inine hisses! It was no feeble de monstration . of protest. The com bined hisses sounded as if a valve on a steam engine 'had broken. President Taft stood unmoved on the platform during the demonstra tion "of hostility for the' hissing continued but a moment and then smiling as he spoke, he answered the unfavorable greeting with this re tort: .. ; .;. 5. ...-. . -.' . .. "Now, my dear ladles, you must how yourselves capable of suffrage by exercising that degree of restraint whlchMs necessary In the. conduct of government affairs, by not hissing." The women who had hissed were rebuked, The President's reply ap parently had taken 'hold. There were no more hisses, while the President continued his . address, which he characterized as "my confession" on the woman suffrage question. At the conclusion of his talk he was en thuslastlcally applauded and some of the leaders , of the convention ex pressed to him their sincere regret over, the unpleasant Incident Pres ident Taft assured them that he had not had his feelings injured in the least. . MARK CLEVELAND GRAVE. Shaft to Memory of Former Presi- ; dent and Daughter. With "no mention in its inscription of the fact that he was at one time president, of the United States, but reading merely: "Grover Cleveland. Born Caldwell, N. J., March 18, 1837. Died Princeton, N. J., June 24, 1908." the first monument to the memory; of ex-President Grover pleveland was completed last week on his grave in the Princeton ceme tery. :; ' , . ' J Beside Jt at the same time was placed a marble slab three feet high. on the grave of : Ruth Cleveland which had remained' unmarked since her death, on Jaiiuary?, 1904. It too, bears a sfmplet Inscription. The monument on Mr. Cleveland's grave is of Tennessee marble, and Is ten feet high. 'It consists of a cubical die 6 feet wide ahdthree-feet thick. and a cap, Svhich tapers gradually from the die into a flnlal-Uke head tfotn stones were; erected at the direction of t Mrs. Cleveland, who Is at present In Europe with her chil dren. . v.

Is Undratod .. but, as a Mattsr of Fact,' the Bolt From the Storm In Its Erratic Tend enoloa Dtfioa the Investigator. ' in a general way we undersund tbe theory of thunderstorms. 'As a mat ter of fact, there is no phenomenon of nature, but excepting even earth quakes, of wblcb we know so little. -Man-made lightning that Is, elec tricity of tho bluest power, wblcb we can artificially produce will act according to certain known laws. It will, for instance, travel along a con ductor of metal. But a dash of llgbtnlng will fre quent leap from a well defined metal path and lauueb Itaelf tbrougb tbe air or some adjacent object which Is an infinitely poorer conductor. This may be due to tbe almost in conceivable force of a flash of llgbt nlng, says a writer in Pearson's Week ly. It is estimated that a flash of lightning a mile long represents a pressure of discbarge equal to 3.000. 000.000 volts. As such a flash lasts only about tbe thousandth part of a second the en ergy dissipated by tbe discbarge Is equal to 300.000 horsepower. Put In other words, if we could find some means of saving and using lightning we. should be the richer by a good round sum for every flash. , Lightning Is. as we know, usually accompauled by a peal of thunder, which is louder tbe nearer the hearer Is to tbe point of the disc-barge, out this la uot au invariable rule. There are cases on record of most destruc tive lightning flashes which were un accompanied by sound. , Such a phenomenon occurred at Brad ford some years ago. What is de scribed as "a silent thunderbolt" fell In a graveyard, destroying one monu ment, and smashing to atoms nearly seventy glass cases containing wreaths and flowers. In tbe same summer Swanscombe. in Kent, was terrified by a freak of llgbtnlng. All of a sudden "a great mass of blue fire" swept alonjr the street, and next moment it was seen that the -fine old parish church, built nearly 700 years ago. bad been struck The building, with all Its fine old carved oak, was soon a roaring fur nace. and only a part of the chancel was saved. ' . Scientists are still hopelessly at sea as to the cause of that peculiar phe nomenon known as globe lightning. At Coventry some years ago during a vio lent thunderstorm it passed along a street like a soap bubble built of blue fire and drifted into a shed, where It exploded, blowing the roof off tbe place. ' At Rhelms. in France, a similar fire ball ' came into a cobbler's shop through' the open window. The soli tary occupant of the place eat perfect ly still, 'paralyzed with terror, while his fearful visitant hovered for sever al seconds overhead. Then it moved toward the fireplace and presently passed up the chimney. Next' moment there was an explo sion like a ! shell bursting, and the up per part of tbe chimney came crashing down. Not long ago Count G. Hamilton made a record of a similar freak of electricity. He was sitting at dinner at a house, on Lake Wener. in Sweden, when Just after a vivid flash of light ning a brilliant white ball appeared over the table and after hanging poised there for some seconds went off with with a loud hang. Fortunately it did no harm to any one., although it was quite close to several people. Those who sqw It sug gested it was like a ball of cold light ning. . . " ;' In November, 1902, Sydney. Austra lia, was visited by a . terrific dust storm, in the midst of .which a perfect rain of electric fl e bnlls began to fall. These set fire to a number of houses, and a most appalling panic set In, A cry was raised that tbe end of the world was at hand, and people rushed out of their bouses into the ink black, dust deep streets. ', .'. Tbe most amazing and terrifying displays of the power of lightning are seen on mountains. In 1890 a party was on tbe top of a mountain In the Caucasus when a huge violet ball, sur rounded by vivid rays, struck a rock near by and, exploding like a bomb, burst into atoms. One of tbe party was badly hurt.

An English Official Who Outwit ted a French Admiral. HOW PERIM ISLAND WAS WON , ; i The Interesting Story. That la Told by White House on th Foreshore of tho Arabian Coast at tho Southern Entrance to the Red 8a. On the foreshore of the Arabian coast In the strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, at tbe southern eutrauce to tbe Red sea, stands a large white bouse con cerning which the travelers to tbe far east may bear a curious story. In the middle of the nineteenth century, when M. de Lessens after many diffi culties had successfully floated the Sues Canal company, tbe governor of tbe British port of Aden, about 100 miles distant, was surprised one morn ing by tbe visit of a French squadron of very unusual size for that part of the orient, wbicb. having encountered a terrific storm off Sokotra, had put In for repairs. In the mind of the governor curiosity was at once aroused as to the destina tion of so large a command, a curiosity which increased as he found It Impos sible to extract any further informa tion from tbe French admiral or bis officers beyond the statement that they were upon an ordinary cruise, an explanation wblcb the former was not the least inclined to believe. Firm In the belief, therefore, that some political move of great impor tance was afloat, if not afoot, tbe gov ernor. In order first of all to gain time, gave orders to go very tortoise-like on the repairs and then set to work to take the Frenchmen off their guard by giving a succession of such entertain ments as both bis slender means and the awful barrenness of the place would, afford. But, though at the end of two weeks the French and British officers had got upon tbe best of terms, tbe Immediate destination ot the French squadron remained as much of a mystery to the governor of Aden as before, and in spite of all possible delay the re pairs were nearly completed. Now. It happened that the wife of the governor possessed an Irish maid, who had been receiving attentions from one of the French petty officers attentions which tbe girl did not re gard seriously. It occurred to the gov ernor that by such means something might be learned of his unexpected visitor's plans, and a private conver sation between the governor's wife and her maid resulted In another be tween the latter and her French ad mirer, by which -it was discovered that Perim Island was the objective point. At this information the governor onened bis eyes wide indeed, for, if the Sues canal were cut through. Pe rim, as commanding the Southern en trance to the Red sea, in the middle of the strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, would be a place of great strategic impor tance, over which, without doubt, it was the. intention of the French ad miral to hoist the tricolor. Secretly giving orders, therefore, for a gunboat, to immediately embark a detachment of soldiers and steal away in the night for Perim Island, the gov ernor then announced a farewell ban quet and ball for the day but one fol lowing, a final act of courtesy with Which the5 French admiral would will ingly have dispensed, for he was anx ious to, sail, but w hich he could not well refuse on account of the use he had made of the British supplies and machinery at Aden. So the dinner ,and party in due course came off, the governor being in high spirits, because in the meantime he had received the news of the occu pation of Perim, which" under the cir cumstances would surely be followed by: the longed' for promotion, and the French . admiral . was equally happy, for "be hoped on the morrow to add the same' important little speck of land to the dominion of his own country, thereby covering his, breast with tbe stars and himself With maritime glory. Next day. after an Interchange of cordial farewells. th, French squadron sailed away to an apparently unknown destination, until.' when Clear of the land, the course was laid full speed di rect, for Perim Island. ' Then wnat were the dismay and dis appointment of tbe French admiral andi hl officers when, on coming in sight of their, destination, they beheld the British flag flying and a company of soldiers drawn up to give them a proper salute. It is said the French admiral was so mortified at being thus outwitted that he first flung his cock ed hat overboard ,tn& then followed, it himself Into the sea. J-. , ' ";,( ""Be this as It may, "as Perim was clearly already occupied by the Brit ish, the only counter move which the French could make was to take pos session of a strip of Jhe foreshore on the opposite Arabian ' coast, where they built the fortified white Boused In question, but ss theplacejwas entirely, at the mercy of the' guns oh PerTm Is land It was shortiy abandoned.' to. re-, main to this day as a monument of a French admiral's undoing.
