The judges are expected to command the respect of all classes, and usually jut 'there are the kindest the respect is merited. some judges" of whom things cannot be said. The men whom Mr. McAdams criti- cised unwarrantably displayed a feel ing in the case which was not admir- ble in view of their high and exalted office. The judge who abused the members of the board of trade at Sydney, C. B., was not acting according to the dignity of the bench. He through the commercial men who had assembled on the court house steps in order to be photographed, they expressed, dissatisfaction, waded and when in a murmuring their he turned them and said bad things. Still later he or- dered the arrest of one who had the nerve, on the street and his own ac¢- count, to call his conduct disgraceful. Still another, referring to a public disturbance and call out of the alleged that had he been in command of the soldiers "he would have ordered a volley of ball cartridg- es fired into the crowds had spoken to, All the circumstances show how some on in, troops, when t, not dispersed. occupants of -the bench who-are pres- umably in a judicial frame of mind all the time exhibit an irvitability of temper that ttice.

A citizen has as much right to say that the conduct of a judge is lisgraceful as the judge has to say that his behaviour indicates the black- guard.

Inconsistency Of Committees. A citizen draws attention to the inconsistency of civic committees, The board of works, which has no appro- priation, to spare, is doing its best to keep 'down "the weeds that grow so rapidly- and with such profusion on civic property. On the other hand, this citizen declares, the water works committee, which is blessed with an annual surplus, permits weeds to dis- figure its property, and to be proud of their abundant growth. He wants to kndw why the burdocks and other obnoxious weeds, that flourish on the old reservoir property, are not cut down. They are a me nace tothe {value of adjacent property. ---- «Bibby's.""

MANY PERSONS KILLED AND MORE INJURED. . - In the Country the Most.of the Fatalities Ocour--The Network .of Wires in the Cities Save Them. It is probably not generally known or even imagined, says a writer in Leslie's Monthly Yor September, {hat every year in the United States be tween seven and eight hundred lives are lost by lightning stroke, and more 'than a taousand' persons injured. Dur- ing 1899 there were 4,253 animals-- cattle, horses, mules, sheep or pigs- - killed * by lightning in the open fields, while the value of the property des- troyed either directly or through fires caused by bolts was estimated at six millions of dollars. There are num- berless cases on record where whele herds of sheep and cattle have Leen struck with fatal effect. In one in- stance, in Colorado, ninety-one sheep were slaughtered by a single stroke, and fifty-two in another. In lowa, where during one year 266, head cattle were killed by lightning, the curious fact was noticed that 118 were found in close contact with wire fenc- es. Their death was probably caused by the shock received from the fence and not from the direct stroke, as it was evident in many cases that the lightning struck the fence at some distance. . It is in the country that most of the fatal accidents from lightning oc- cur, and they are about evenly divid- ed between people who are struck in houses and those who are Killed in the open or while seeking refuge under a tree. To stand under a tree in a thun- derstorm is perhaps, next to clinging to a lightning-rod, the most dang ous position that can be chosen. The comparative safety of the modern citv from- lightning is due to the net-work of wires 'which covers it, and the number of tall buildings with iron points, tin reofs, metallic gutters and steel frames connected with the wat- er, sewer and gas pipes, which form an excellent system of conductors. It ig absolutely impossible to con: ceive of the rapidity and brilliancy of lightning. It has been estimated that a Hash occupies less than the one-mil* lionth part of a second. As 'one-tenth of a second is needed for the full el- fect of any light upon the eve, we get only a very faint idea of the bril- liancy of the flash. 1f a flash were per- manent it would be one hundred thou- sand times more brilliant than the licht we now experience. There was' one famous building of antiquity, which, according to the records, was never damaged by light- ning during its thousand vears of ex- istence, although placed high on a hill above a city in a mountain region where thunderstorms are very. fre quent. It was the Temple of Solomon at Jerusalem. The temple was over laid within and without by plates of sold. Now gold is one of the best of electric conductors, and in this wav the whole building was protected with a perfection and thoroughness that has never been attempted before or since. ---- Thought Them Salt Water. "How nice it would be if this lake would! freeze over,' remarked a New Yorker to a Kingstonian, as they sat on the deck of the steamer America, on her way from Cape Vincent to this city a few days ago. "Well. it. does freeze over," Kingstonian replied. "Why, I thought it was salt wat- er," the man from Gotham remarked. "Aren't all these lakes salt? I al ways heard they were. 4d He was told they were not, hesitated 'to believe it: "1 knew St. Lawrence was fresh water," went on. "They told me down Quebec that it froze over early winter, and stayed frozen for or eight months." The absurdity of the supposition that a river flowing from a salt wat- ter lake dould be fresh had never struck the New Yorker. Tt is amusing to listen to the expressions frequently made by United = Statesers regarding (Canada; their (raining in geography and history has been sadly neglected. -- ee Hat Sale. 82 fine felt hats, choice for £1. the but the he in in seven black or 50 and Jen hard or soft, of , KIONE ELS, THE SYSTE CLEANSE I TUR pisPE, Solos Be Si & Hr 02 i 'aor THE Lo By Ema YRWPQ Ra peEraens + De on pe «ing they School Bell Rings Shortly There is an army of school boys to be fitted out next week.
