It was about two in the morning
whenelteax Villiers awoke from. a deep
sleep to the consciousness that some-
thing unusual was in the air. Sit-
ting up in bed, bc peered about the
room, and, to his astonishment, saw
the dine outline of a man seated'
torefort,ably in his &Ley -chair, -The
man rose as he moved, and; slowly
walking across the room, turned on
the gas.
"Glad you're., awake," he said
coolly. dI want to sirione, and

of giving you too big a fright when

It is agreeable to be tilde to dield-

Pate the idea which pereon.s unae-
gltalnted witit the ways ofturthundero
: t
storms d of earthly electrical sets
tents have lately been entertaining
--that the nniItiplleity of electrwu
wires is causing an increase in the
number of storms, says au English
exchange. The tendency is just the
other way.
According 'to the simple explana-
tion which Dr. Sowerby tho
rainfall expert, of Camden square,
gave the reason is this :--The zIhrtip-
tive in a. thunderstorm Is
an effort on tho part of nature to
adjust the clintributiozt of electricity
between earth and st.w. But just as
a lightning conductor provides an
easy passage for the electricity front
sky to earth, so every bare wire acts
as a conductor and helps dissipate
the aerial electricity which would
otherwise cause thunder.
The influence of the wires in Lon-
don Dr. Wallis said, is very percep-
tible, so That with the ever extend-
ing systeni of telegraphs, telephones,
WM other electric works thunder-
storms should show a tendency to
decrease.
But as to whether there are more
or fewer storms than there were a
few . years ago. Dr. Wallis pointed
out that the question arises' What
is a thunderstorm? Are one clap
of thuotter and one flash of lightn-
ing a storm? The meteorological
method is to measure tlie rain, as

AN AUTOMATIC DOCTOR.
At most of the larger railway sta-
tions in Holland an odd addition has
lately been made to the collection of
automatic machines. It takes the
outward form of an old-fashioned
doctor of the early eighteenth cen-
tury type with a great peruke on his
head. The body of the physician
displays a number of slots, over
each of winch the name of some par-
ticulax ailment is 'inscribed If you
have a cold, sore throat, lwailache,
rheumatism, cough etc., etc., you•
put a penny (or a cent) into the
proper slot, end you receive for
your small fee, not, indeed, the oe-
cessary medicine, but the doctor's
prescription how to cure yourself.
