That is where the piece de resistance of these two plus came from. You have doubtless seen beautifully decorated enamel watch cases and whatnots. Well, the Chinese artists : do their coloring and decorating with the bright feathers of birds. I saw them at that sort of work in Canton? pasting the tiny pieces upon metal and glnss and Ivory. Colonel Kolb recently bought some very handsome pieces from an American art collector and he had two scarfplns mounted on gold, the oriental work In both Is identical, and consists of two brilliantly-colored birds upon a field as big as a dime, and all made from the feathers of real humming birds. I was told in China by the men, making similar articles that if protected the color in a bird's feather would not fade In a thousand years. Colonel Kolb gave one of bis pins to the governor.

As soon as you locate a flash of lightning, count the seconds before you hear the thunder clap and In this manner you can easily determine how fataway the storm Is. Since light travels 180,000 miles a second, we may l'or all practical purposes regard ourselves as seeing the lightning the Instant it flashes. Hut sound travels only 1,087 feet a second. Multiply 1,087 by the number of seconds during the interval between the flash and the thunder and the result Is the distance between you and the storm. As a rule, from 12 to 15 tulles is the greatest distance thundf~ can be heard. Utterly Squelched. They stood at the pyramids. "Forty centuries look down upon you," announced the guide."

A Quaint Italian Town. Pa via is not very well known to the tourist. For 2<to years, until Charlemagne overthrew them, It was the capital of tin- Lombard kings, the kings of that one-time Teuton tribe of Lnngohnrdi, who conquered Italy, only to be themselves slowly conquered and become Italians, or, more accurately, Romanized. It is they who ruled over the great fertile plain between the Alps and the Apennines. In I he Church of San Mieltcle kings of Italy were crowned a thousand years ago; here two (ierinans at least, Henry the Second -UVM and Frederick^ Barhnrossa ll.V> -received upon their brows that "iron crown of the Lombard-" which conveyed the sovereignty of Italy.

Columbia.- -Gov. Manning Issued an appeal to the people of the state to contribute to the fund for the relief of the flood sufferers. Gov. Manning has during the last week made a personal investigation into the situation in the lower counties, and he has received accurate information as to condition* in other sections of the stato. "The crops over a vast area in our state have been completely destroyed." said the governor, "and thou- I sands of our people are wholly without crops, without occupation and will i soon be without bread unless imme diate help is given them. The federal government has made an investigation through the army engineers and the government has asked me to receive subscriptions to supplement the federal appropriation, which will not be sufficient to relieve the suffering. I have already received some voluntary contributions, and those who wish to give may send the money direct to my office in Columbia, and committees will be appointed to take charge of the work of distribution. Promptness is essential. Thousands of acres of crops have been laid waste in York. Chester. Kershaw. Clarendon, Williamsburg, Florence, lower Marion. Calhoun and other counties. The destruction is widespread and the want is urgent. "I can not too strongly emphasize the necessity for prompt and generous j response to this appeal on the part of our people who have been so fortunate i as not to have suffered from the ef- 1 fects of the floods." Cotton Crop Short. Harvin.?Replies to 2,000 inquiries sent to every cotton growing county in the cotton growing states as to the condition of cotton for the month of July, counting 100 per cent as a perfect crop, shows an average condltiort of 66.1 per cent. All states east of the Mississippi River show excessive rainfall. The states of Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas the rainfall is reported light and scant. The crop averages 2.8 weeks late and the average aren abandoned is 10.7 per cent.

Big Timber Cargo For Allies. Charleston. ? When the British steamer Westburv sailed from here with 1,500.000 feet of timber and crosstles, her cargo completed a total of about 7.000.000 of South Carolina grown and South Carolina sawed timber that has passed through this port consigned to the allies "somewhere in Europe" in the last few months and every thousand feet of this timber that has passed through this port has mean the exnenditure of $18 to $20; to total expenditure of something like $1,400,000.

CLOCK HOLDS SHIP'S SAFETY Chronometer Is the Most Wonderful and Accurate Timekeeper Made. A ship's chronometer Is the most wonderful and accurate timekeeper ' made, for upon Its aceuruey depend i the lives of ull on board.

' Dark Lightning." The expression "dark lightning" seems to be paradoxical. As a matter of fact dark lightning is a product of the laboratory. In the development of camera plates that have been exposed to lightning Hashes some of the streak ltuuges are reversed. This is thought to he due to overexposure. Prints made from the negatives show the streaks as dark lines, hence the expression "dark lightning." The path of u lightning flash is frequently shifted by wind. The action of the wind appears to broaden the line of lightning until it resembles a ribbon. The uniform broadening aV>ng the entire length of a lightning flash has probubly never been observed.
