deolded in the paris law courts fifth chamber of the civil tribunal of the seine at the suit of the confess fitz james v the union fire insurance companies must idemnlfy all losses sustained by an assured i paused b fire even in cases where no des truction of premises has been cansed by con flagration the countess fitz james insured against fire in the above company all hoc furniture and effects for 558000 francs and in her poltoy under article 7 were mention ed her jewels among which figured special ly a pair of carriage composed of fine pearls valued at 18000 francs on april 17 1887 one of these earrings whioh had been placed on the mantelpiece was accidentally knook- ed down by the countess and fell into the fire where it was consumed notwithstand ing every effort made to save the jewel ex pertjewollers were called in by botn parties to estimate the intrinsic valuo of the property destroyed and 9 0c0 francs was stated to be tho amount loss 60 francs for molten gold res- oued from tho ashes the insurance com pany refused to pay for the burnt pearl on the ground that there was no conflagration that tho fire whioh consumed tho objcot was an ordinary fire in other words that thero was no fire and that the company was not responsible where oombustlon had only oc curred by the ordinary use of a grate for heating purposes tbn court however re jected this and ruled that tho word fire in matters of insurance applied to every accident however unimportant such acci dent may be so long as it is caused by the aotaon of fire it was therefore ordered that the union company should pay to the countess fitz james the value of tho jewel less tint of the gold recovered viz 8000 cs and costs irish law times the wrecking of trhins has become a daily incident of the existing system of american railway management and so frequent are those sooalled accidents that they have ceas ed to be interesting the coroners jury never fails however to discover that there is no person to

the despatches operations of lightmntr- ah those who suffer from fright during thunder storms should regard the lot of an english woman living in a large town as peculiarly enviable for according to mr marriott the secretary of the royal mete orological society these are the beings who of all are most exempt from tho danger of being struck by lightning mr marriott tells us that on an average less than one person in a million is annually killed by lightning in england while in francs nearly two in prussia nearly four and in russia and switzerland more than five out of every million perish thus annually the returns also show that of those who die in this manner in england 81 per cent are males and only 19 per cent females the striking difference no doubt being attribut able to the greater number of males engaged in outdoor occupations deaths from lightning are also much rarer in towns than in the country the many lightening rods and high buildings serve to diffase i the electricity the bba tower is said of itself to form a perfect electrical con ductor and in the one of one very black thunder cloud which passed over paris and was observed to emit constant flashes the lightning stopped as soon as it came within the influence of the tower and recommenced when it had passed beyond animals are struck by lightning much more frequently than human beings and this is owing largely to their disposition to take refuge beneath trees or to huddle to gether in a storm in the first instance the trees and in the second the currents of hot damp air rising from their bodies act as con ductors nothing buffers from lightning bo frequently as trees and the splintering and shivering of the part struck is supposed to be due to the sudden conversion of the sap into steam by intense heat to a similar cause the explosion of steam produoed from the moisture on the surface of the body is probably due the rending of the olothes on those who have been struck by lightning all the garments being frequently stripped away the boots especially of such viotims nearly always have the uppers burst open presumably because the leather more closely confines the perspiration and so leads to the production of a particularly strong explosive force the theory has even been advanced that in executions by eleotrioity the criminal whose skin is dry will suffer in altogether a different manner from
