He was born in New York seventy-six years and served in the war of the rebbellion.

The lightning struck the chimney, sending bricks fiying in all’ directions, and tore shin- #les from the roof, but did not en- ier the building. The lightning struck the convent at about 3:30 o'clock and at that time there was an unusually heavy rainfall. The_bond-wel !:g car of the Shore Line Electric Railway company made its initial visit to Westerly Monday and attracted considerable attention. The track bonds are the copper wire which connects the rails, and when they become weak or disconnected there is a waste of electrical power. These defects are discovered by a device knmown as bond-detector that readily locates the weakened bonds and records the same, but has no con- nection with the bond-welding ca:x. This car is sent over the road and 15 equipped to make the repairs. In three nminutes the copper bonds can be brought to whits heat and readily welded to the rail, and all by elec- tricity. The work is necessarily slow in streets that are paved, as the pav- ing blocks must be removed to get at the bonds and are, of course, re- placed when the welding is completed. New bonds were placed on the rails in several places in Canal and High streets on Monday, and similar work ‘will probably be dome in West Broad street today. The car came to West- erly from Norwich. It is about a third of the size of an ordinary trolley and is a mass of electrical machinery and when fully equipped carries a motor- man and two other employes. Th's bond-welding car is practically a new invention and just as soon as its practicability was established It was added to the equipment of the Shore Line Electric Railway company, which also dontrols the Norwich & Westerly Traction company.

By a process not fully made publia investigators have turned the sudd of the river Nile into a fuel which, it i said, is equal to coal, and owing to the ipexhaustible supply may replace coal in steamers plying the great African stream. It is composed of the pecu- liar under water growth of weeds of the Nile, which reappears in a few weeks even if absolutely removed from any spot. At Khartum a factory has been established where tests were recently made. Quantities of the Nile sudd were evaporated, dried, com- pressed and chopped.
