SAVED BY HIS
A Man Struck by Lightning and
Lived.
Propped up with pillows in a large
willow rocking-chair, with his eyes
tightly bandage, sits a young man
of Cambridge-port, who was struck
by lightning but lived to tell the
story. His name is Horace W. Fol-
he lives at Green street aDd
tie is one of the keepers on the pilot
boat Florence. It is not too much
to say that a pair of rubber boots
saved his life, says the Trans-
When a storm came up on an after-
noon recently the pilot boat Flor-
was moored a quarter of a mile
from Boston light. The keepers of
the boat put on their oil clothing,
and rubber boots and
Mr. who is about twenty-five
years old, stood on deck observing
the storm, his left hand clasping the
back brae, a wire cord half an inch
in diameter. There had only
two flashes and no one aboard
thought danger near.
Then came a third, and Mr. Fol-
knew nothing for over an hour.
The current evidently selected the
highest bamboo pole
above the main topmast, and tore it
Into small pieces after it had ripped
the flag off. Then the electricity
came down the into Fol-
His rubber boots, however,

As it was, his left side
caught the force of the charge.
Luckily three women were aboard,
comprising a summer pleasure part-,
and one of them proved an expert in
this emergency case.

dosing began to show signs
of life and complained of a violent
headache, the sensation of seasick-
a paralyzed condition of his
left side and throat and a prickly
feeling through his whole body. It
waS evening before he became alto-
himself and then he was
taken ashore in the physician's boat
end carried to his home in
an ambulance.
It was not until the next night that
even water passed his lips. In the
meantime his left eye began to pain
him intensely when he opened it and
his skin felt tough as leather,
face gradually assumed its normal
color after the deep purple flush
caused by the flash had faded.
He is feeling much more like
himself and there is a good prospect
of his speedy recovery. He says
that the hour following the stroke
is a blank to
NORTHMEN AND
Proofs of an Ancient Norse Colony
Near Boston.
The late Prof. published
several books in which he under-
took to fix the spot which the
Northmen landed, says the
Ledger, and identified their
with a locality on the
Charles river, near Boston. His
daughter, Miss Cornelia
has followed in her father's foot-
steps, and has recently published,
through Boston,
her proofs the site of
in and her results of the
opening of the graves of the North-
men on the books of the Charles
liver, near the city of
where her father proved to his own
and to that North-
men founded a colony. Miss Hors-
ford gives the steps of the process
of reasoning by which she reaches
the results set down in her attract-
publication, illustrated by
from Du
and from other archaeological
authorities, largely from the
in Peabody museum at
Harvard, and other sources of
knowledge.
Both Prof. and his
daughter have gone to work so
have mastered every detail
of the subject, have studied it on
the spot and gathered evidence
as well as from the results of the
best explorers in other fields of
archaeological and ethnological in-
that there is a special
interest in seeing the results an-
by the father thus, after his
death, confirmed by the daughter.
It is an example of filial piety that
well deserves recognition, and is so
purely a labor of love that it is en-
titled to the gratitude all who
like to see continued effort to solve
a problem which has puzzled
dents at home abroad for many
years. Miss snare in her
father's Investigations and her own
ore marked by scholarly ability, zeal
and earnestness, and example
may well inspire others to pursue
archaeological research in other sec-
of this country, rich in fields
that have not yet been exhausted,
and thus reap its own exceeding
great reward.

A Bust of Herod the Great.
The Imperial Hermitage at St.

Her Good Day for Snakes.
A young Baltimore girl, noted for

prominently to the front as a snake
killer. While on a visit to
more county she was attacked by a
large snake in the of a pond
of water. She and her youthful
companions were greatly excited,
but she succeeded in killing the
snake. The disturbance aroused
other snakes, and a serpent war of
unusual magnitude was the result.
After the conflict the reptiles were
counted and piled. It was found
that in all, little and big, twenty

Interesting Revelations In the
The Camera the Development
of the Science of As-
Great surprise was expressed nine
j cars ago when the Henry brothers,
of Paris, discovered by photography
a strange nebulous spiral apparent-
attached to the star Maia, one of
the The nebula seemed to
start from the star, and bending
round through a quarter of a circle,
in a sweep of hundreds of millions of
miles, finally became forked at the
end like the tail of a comet.
Issuing out of one side- of this
great spiral sprang a no
mass, part of which swept backward
parallel with the original spiral in
such a way as to give to the whole
object tho appearance of eddying
round the star.
Two or three years later the same
astronomers made a photograph
which showed that the entire group
of the or Seven Stars, is
mingled with fantastic nebulous
shapes. In this photograph several
stars appear strung, like beads,
upon a nebulous line or ribbon that
must be many thousands of miles in
length. The conclusion was
that an intimate connection
existed between the stars and the
nebula which together constitute
the
Since then a similar condition of
things has been shown to prevail in
other quarters of the heavens. One
of the latest discoveries of this kind
was made by Prof. Barnard at the
Lick observatory last autumn.
Upon photographing what

multitudes of small The
nebula, according to the description
of its discoverer, to mingle

stars and become part of
Photographs have also shown that
the double star Lambda, in Orion,
is involved in nebulous matter, and
that a nebula is attached to the
the leader of the
same constellation.
These facts become very interest-
when one considers that the
nebula are probably composed of
matter in an unformed or
condition, and that the sun, the
stars and the earth itself were once
in that state.
When we see a star, or a group of
stars, closely associated with
spirals and streamers, it looks
as though tho stars were consuming,
or feeding upon, the nebula, or, in
other words, as if the process of sun-
making were, in such cases, not yet
completed.
Yet it is possible that our own so-
orb, which, for our purposes at
least, seems to be a completed sun,
would, if photographed from a far
point in space, appear as a nebulous
star. From such a point of view, if
they were at all, the Zodiacal
light, the and other
glowing appearances that are
connected with the sun,
would perhaps be blended into a great
system of luminous rings of spirals

Rights.
Recently a decision regarding the
rights of passengers in sleeping cars
was handed down by the court of
general term in the Fifth depart-
of New York which further de-
fines the rights of passengers. Courts
in New York and states have
held that the sleeping car company
was responsible for tho loss of
money or other property stolen
while the passengers were asleep, if
porters were not kept on hand to
guard the property of the sleepers.
In the case just decided the
a woman, lost a sum of money
which she had in a small satchel. It
was apparent from her testimony,
and from that of the porter, that she
must have lost the purse while she
was in the dressing room at one end
of the car. Tho general term judges
decided that it was essential for tho
plaintiff to show that the money
was taken from the berth while she
and her husband were sleeping.
The probabilities, however, of the
case were against that and
If she lost the purse, or it was stolen
from her in the dressing room, tho
company would not be liable, for the
only negligence complained of was
that the company had failed to main-
a constant watchfulness over
the interior of tho car while the
passengers were sleeping. The dis-
between the loss of prop-
from tho berth or in the
dressing room is slight, but was
to lead the judges to refuse to
allow a verdict.

the water and put them in a baking
dish with boiling water enough to
moisten. Add a pinch of dry mus-
some salt and two tablespoon-
of molasses. Take about half a
pound of fat salt pork, boiled and
scored, and put in the middle of the
dish. Set in the oven, cover, and
