Metaorlo Electricity. We now know qutto accurately the nature of llghtulng and the method ol production of the enormous electri cal pressure exhibited by the flash, .when cloud* ar? formed by tho con densation of very mjlnute drops of yater from tho vapor In the air, under certain conditions theso drops oxhiblt a small electrical charge. As the drops coalesce the capacity increases I rapidly than the quantity o t Charge, for the reason that two drops of equal size, when thoy tlow together, produce one of only slightly larger di ameter. On this account the drops formed by the flowing together of the ?malt mist particles, long before tboy attain such size as to bo precipitated as rain, acquire un cicatrical chary.) of enormous voltage, sufficient oft<M) to leap a dlutance of a mile throiuh the air. This must correspond with , pressures only to be indicated by mil- , Hons of volts.? Electrical Review.

There has re cently bepn a good deal of agitation re gard i lift the abuses that seem to creep into the pension lists in this State. In the Federal pensions, where the amounts are large, it is more readily so en why so many undeserving names get on the pension rolls, hut in the matter of the State pension, which is but a trifle, it is surprising that thero should be so much deception. All sorts of tricks are constantly being practiced j and not s(4 very long ago, it was dls | covered that ono man was getting a pension from South Carolina as a Con federate Veteran and the Federal Gov ernment was also paying him a pen sion as u Federal soldier. It was no uncommon thing for citizens of North Carolina to claim and get South Caro lina pensions. There have been a great many sug gestions as to thto best method of cur ing the existing and evidently growing tendency towards ifraud. It Is a hard thing to say that men will knowingly cheat deserving Confederate soldiers out of their little allowance and that men wlio do not deserve It are today claiming to have served and done hon or to the Confederate cause, when their comrades know that they wore deserters or did not serve at all. The pension department in Colum bia is absolutely powerless to get at tho facts of every Individual case. The harder the. State board tries to pruno the lists and to be stringent In the requirements about exact Information and records and certificates, the mad der do the county boards get and the mote applications do they pile on the State board. . | It is suggested that one of the great troubles today Is that there Is too much petty politics In the selection of the county boards. It is even suggest ed that those who are refused pensions get together and work systematically to elect those who they know will favor their applications, which had previous ly been refused. The townships seloct their representatives and these town ship representatives select the county board. It is said that far better re sults and often better men were secur ed when the State board selected the members of the county boards, and this was because they would pick out men who were under no obligations. The State board, so as to facilitate those who wish to help in pruning the lists, not only sends out for publica tion to such papors as wish it lists of the county pensioners, and every year the name of each and every pensioner Iti South Carolina is published in book form. This is tho sort of publicity that the Federal Government will not give to its pension list. . Ocncral News.
