Sorwul young men, members of a prominent West Philadelphia library, had vainly attempted to become acquainted with a certain young lady there In charge as librarian. Plan after plan was tried, but all proved of no avail. Finally, one day when these gontlo* men were standing on the corner the young lady, carrying a suit case, alighted from a car. One of the gentlemen, thinking his opportunity had cotne. stepped forward and politely offered to carry the case. She handed it to him and they walked together up the street. Ho was thinking of the progress he was making and how joaious and envious | the other fellows must feel. All went well until they reached the library door, when she reached for her suit case and handed him a nickel. That was all.?Philadelphia Times. Meteoric Electricity. Wo now know quite accurately the nature of lightning and the method or prouucuon 01 me enormous electrical pressure exhibited by the flash. When clouds are formed by the condensation of very mlnuto drops of water from the vapor In the air, under certain conditions these drops exhibit a small electrical charge. As the drops coalesce the capacity increases less rapidly than the quantity of charge, for the reason that two drops of equal size, when they flow together, produce one of only slightly larger diameter. On this account the drops formed by the flowing together of the ! small mist particles, long before they attain such size as to be precipitated ; as rain, acquire an electrical charge 1 of enormous voltage, sufficient often to leap a distance of a mile through I the air. This must correspond with 1 pressures only to bo Indicated by millions of volts.?Electrical Review. i The Species of Woodpecker. There are some five or six species of woodpeckers, some of which farmers are prone to look upon with suspicion. Excepting a single species, the yellow-breasted woodpecker or sapsucker. these birds rarely leave any important mark on a healthy tree. The sapsucker Is some'.imes girllty of pecking holes in the bark of apple trees from which 'i drinks the bup when the little pits become filled. I^arge numbers o* Insects are also attracted by the sweet fluid In these pits, which the'Bapsucker also feeds upon, and to that extent largely compensates for the, damage done to the tree.
