Harris

Anne of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . Mr. Harrison at Home Chapter III - Mr. Harrison at Home Mr. Harrison’s house was an old-fashioned, low-eaved, whitewashed structure, set against a thick spruce grove. Mr. Harrison himself was sitting on his vineshaded veranda, in his shirt sleeves, enjoying his evening pipe. When he realized who was coming up the path he sprang suddenly to his feet, bolted into the house, and shut the door. This was merely the uncomfortable result of his surprise, mingled with a good deal of shame over his outburst of temper the day before. But it nearly swept the remnant of her courage from Anne’s heart. “If he’s so cross now what will he be when he hears what I’ve done,” she reflected miserably, as she rapped at the door. But Mr. Harrison opened it, smiling sheepishly, and invited her to enter in a tone quite mild and friendly, if somewhat nervous. He had laid aside his pipe and donned his coat; he offered Anne a very dusty chair very politely, and her reception would have passed off pleasantly enough if it had not been for the telltale of a parrot who was peering through the bars of his cage with wicked golden eyes. No sooner had Anne seated herself than Ginger exclaimed, “Bless my soul, what’s that redheaded snippet coming here for?” It would be hard to say whose face was the redder, Mr. Harrison’s or Anne’s. “Don’t you mind that parrot,” said Mr. Harrison, casting a furious glance at Ginger. “He’s . . . he’s always talking nonsense. I got him from my brother who was a sailor. Sailors don’t always use the choicest language, and parrots are very imitative birds.” “So I should think,” said poor Anne, the remembrance of her errand quelling her resentment. She couldn’t afford to snub Mr. Harrison under the circumstances, that was certain. When you had just sold a man’s Jersey cow offhand, without his knowledge or consent you must not mind if his parrot repeated uncomplimentary things. Nevertheless, the “redheaded snippet” was not quite so meek as she might otherwise have been. “I’ve come to confess something to you, Mr. Harrison,” she said resolutely. “It’s . . . it’s about . . . that Jersey cow.” “Bless my soul,” exclaimed Mr. Harrison nervously, “has she gone and broken into my oats again? Well, never mind . . . never mind if she has. It’s no difference . . . none at all, I . . . I was too hasty yesterday, that’s a fact. Never mind if she has.” “Oh, if it were only that,” sighed Anne. “But it’s ten times worse. I don’t . . .” “Bless my soul, do you mean to say she’s got into my wheat?” “No . . . no . . . not the wheat. But . . .” “Then it’s the cabbages! She’s broken into my cabbages that I was raising for Exhibition, hey?” “It’s not the cabbages, Mr. Harrison. I’ll tell you everything . . . that is what I came for—but please don’t interrupt me. It makes me so nervous. Just let me tell my story and don’t say anything till I get through—and then no doubt you’ll say plenty,” Anne concluded, but in thought only. “I won’t say another word,” said Mr. Harrison, and he didn’t. But Ginger was not bound by any contract of silence and kept ejaculating, “Redheaded snippet” at intervals until Anne felt quite wild. “I shut my Jersey cow up in our pen yesterday. This morning I went to Carmody and when I came back I saw a Jersey cow in your oats. Diana and I chased her out and you can’t imagine what a hard time we had. I was so dreadfully wet and tired and vexed—and Mr. Shearer came by that very minute and offered to buy the cow. I sold her to him on the spot for twenty dollars. It was wrong of me. I should have waited and consulted Marilla, of course. But I’m dreadfully given to doing things without thinking—everybody who knows me will tell you that. Mr. Shearer took the cow right away to ship her on the afternoon train.” “Redheaded snippet,” quoted Ginger in a tone of profound contempt. At this point Mr. Harrison arose and, with an expression that would have struck terror into any bird but a parrot, carried Ginger’s cage into an adjoining room and shut the door. Ginger shrieked, swore, and otherwise conducted himself in keeping with his reputation, but finding himself left alone, relapsed into sulky silence. “Excuse me and go on,” said Mr. Harrison, sitting down again. “My brother the sailor never taught that bird any manners.” “I went home and after tea I went out to the milking pen. Mr. Harrison,” . . . Anne leaned forward, clasping her hands with her old childish gesture, while her big gray eyes gazed imploringly into Mr. Harrison’s embarrassed face . . . “I found my cow still shut up in the pen. It was your cow I had sold to Mr. Shearer.” “Bless my soul,” exclaimed Mr. Harrison, in blank amazement at this unlooked-for conclusion. “What a very extraordinary thing!” “Oh, it isn’t in the least extraordinary that I should be getting myself and other people into scrapes,” said Anne mournfully. “I’m noted for that. You might suppose I’d have grown out of it by this time . . . I’ll be seventeen next March . . . but it seems that I haven’t. Mr. Harrison, is it too much to hope that you’ll forgive me? I’m afraid it’s too late to get your cow back, but here is the money for her . . . or you can have mine in exchange if you’d rather. She’s a very good cow. And I can’t express how sorry I am for it all.” “Tut, tut,” said Mr. Harrison briskly, “don’t say another word about it, miss. It’s of no consequence . . . no consequence whatever. Accidents will happen. I’m too hasty myself sometimes, miss . . . far too hasty. But I can’t help speaking out just what I think and folks must take me as they find me. If that cow had been in my cabbages now . . . but never mind, she wasn’t, so it’s all right. I think I’d rather have your cow in exchange, since you want to be rid of her.” “Oh, thank you, Mr. Harrison. I’m so glad you are not vexed. I was afraid you would be.” “And I suppose you were scared to death to come here and tell me, after the fuss I made yesterday, hey? But you mustn’t mind me, I’m a terrible outspoken old fellow, that’s all . . . awful apt to tell the truth, no matter if it is a bit plain.” “So is Mrs. Lynde,” said Anne, before she could prevent herself. “Who? Mrs. Lynde? Don’t you tell me I’m like that old gossip,” said Mr. Harrison irritably. “I’m not . . . not a bit. What have you got in that box?” “A cake,” said Anne archly. In her relief at Mr. Harrison’s unexpected amiability her spirits soared upward feather-light. “I brought it over for you . . . I thought perhaps you didn’t have cake very often.” “I don’t, that’s a fact, and I’m mighty fond of it, too. I’m much obliged to you. It looks good on top. I hope it’s good all the way through.” “It is,” said Anne, gaily confident. “I have made cakes in my time that were not, as Mrs. Allan could tell you, but this one is all right. I made it for the Improvement Society, but I can make another for them.” “Well, I’ll tell you what, miss, you must help me eat it. I’ll put the kettle on and we’ll have a cup of tea. How will that do?” “Will you let me make the tea?” said Anne dubiously. Mr. Harrison chuckled. “I see you haven’t much confidence in my ability to make tea. You’re wrong . . . I can brew up as good a jorum of tea as you ever drank. But go ahead yourself. Fortunately it rained last Sunday, so there’s plenty of clean dishes.” Anne hopped briskly up and went to work. She washed the teapot in several waters before she put the tea to steep. Then she swept the stove and set the table, bringing the dishes out of the pantry. The state of that pantry horrified Anne, but she wisely said nothing. Mr. Harrison told her where to find the bread and butter and a can of peaches. Anne adorned the table with a bouquet from the garden and shut her eyes to the stains on the tablecloth. Soon the tea was ready and Anne found herself sitting opposite Mr. Harrison at his own table, pouring his tea for him, and chatting freely to him about her school and friends and plans. She could hardly believe the evidence of her senses. Mr. Harrison had brought Ginger back, averring that the poor bird would be lonesome; and Anne, feeling that she could forgive everybody and everything, offered him a walnut. But Ginger’s feelings had been grievously hurt and he rejected all overtures of friendship. He sat moodily on his perch and ruffled his feathers up until he looked like a mere ball of green and gold. “Why do you call him Ginger?” asked Anne, who liked appropriate names and thought Ginger accorded not at all with such gorgeous plumage. “My brother the sailor named him. Maybe it had some reference to his temper. I think a lot of that bird though . . . you’d be surprised if you knew how much. He has his faults of course. That bird has cost me a good deal one way and another. Some people object to his swearing habits but he can’t be broken of them. I’ve tried . . . other people have tried. Some folks have prejudices against parrots. Silly, ain’t it? I like them myself. Ginger’s a lot of company to me. Nothing would induce me to give that bird up . . . nothing in the world, miss.” Mr. Harrison flung the last sentence at Anne as explosively as if he suspected her of some latent design of persuading him to give Ginger up. Anne, however, was beginning to like the queer, fussy, fidgety little man, and before the meal was over they were quite good friends. Mr. Harrison found out about the Improvement Society and was disposed to approve of it. “That’s right. Go ahead. There’s lots of room for improvement in this settlement . . . and in the people too.” “Oh, I don’t know,” flashed Anne. To herself, or to her particular cronies, she might admit that there were some small imperfections, easily removable, in Avonlea and its inhabitants. But to hear a practical outsider like Mr. Harrison saying it was an entirely different thing. “I think Avonlea is a lovely place; and the people in it are very nice, too.” “I guess you’ve got a spice of temper,” commented Mr. Harrison, surveying the flushed cheeks and indignant eyes opposite him. “It goes with hair like yours, I reckon. Avonlea is a pretty decent place or I wouldn’t have located here; but I suppose even you will admit that it has some faults?” “I like it all the better for them,” said loyal Anne. “I don’t like places or people either that haven’t any faults. I think a truly perfect person would be very uninteresting. Mrs. Milton White says she never met a perfect person, but she’s heard enough about one . . . her husband’s first wife. Don’t you think it must be very uncomfortable to be married to a man whose first wife was perfect?” “It would be more uncomfortable to be married to the perfect wife,” declared Mr. Harrison, with a sudden and inexplicable warmth. When tea was over Anne insisted on washing the dishes, although Mr. Harrison assured her that there were enough in the house to do for weeks yet. She would dearly have loved to sweep the floor also, but no broom was visible and she did not like to ask where it was for fear there wasn’t one at all. “You might run across and talk to me once in a while,” suggested Mr. Harrison when she was leaving. “’Tisn’t far and folks ought to be neighborly. I’m kind of interested in that society of yours. Seems to me there’ll be some fun in it. Who are you going to tackle first?” “We are not going to meddle with people . . . it is only places we mean to improve,” said Anne, in a dignified tone. She rather suspected that Mr. Harrison was making fun of the project. When she had gone Mr. Harrison watched her from the window . . . a lithe, girlish shape, tripping lightheartedly across the fields in the sunset afterglow. “I’m a crusty, lonesome, crabbed old chap,” he said aloud, “but there’s something about that little girl makes me feel young again . . . and it’s such a pleasant sensation I’d like to have it repeated once in a while.” “Redheaded snippet,” croaked Ginger mockingly. Mr. Harrison shook his fist at the parrot. “You ornery bird,” he muttered, “I almost wish I’d wrung your neck when my brother the sailor brought you home. Will you never be done getting me into trouble?” Anne ran home blithely and recounted her adventures to Marilla, who had been not a little alarmed by her long absence and was on the point of starting out to look for her. “It’s a pretty good world, after all, isn’t it, Marilla?” concluded Anne happily. “Mrs. Lynde was complaining the other day that it wasn’t much of a world. She said whenever you looked forward to anything pleasant you were sure to be more or less disappointed . . . perhaps that is true. But there is a good side to it too. The bad things don’t always come up to your expectations either . . . they nearly always turn out ever so much better than you think. I looked forward to a dreadfully unpleasant experience when I went over to Mr. Harrison’s tonight; and instead he was quite kind and I had almost a nice time. I think we’re going to be real good friends if we make plenty of allowances for each other, and everything has turned out for the best. But all the same, Marilla, I shall certainly never again sell a cow before making sure to whom she belongs. And I do not like parrots!” About HackerNoon Book Series: We bring you the most important technical, scientific, and insightful public domain books. This book is part of the public domain. L. M.

Flight Into the Unknown by Tom W. Harris - Table of Links

HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your  background. I have been in the payments and fintech industry for more than 20 years, and as the CEO of Dwolla, my goal is to make programmable payments the standard for any industry. Prior to Dwolla, I was the President of Payscape, a nationwide FinTech/SaaS provider that offers dynamic payment solutions. There I oversaw more than 1,000 employees between 13 global offices. I played a key role in the merger between Payscape and Payroc, creating a full-service payment powerhouse that operates in 46 countries, to 60,000+ businesses with over $25 billion in annual payment volume. What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? Dwolla, Inc. is an Iowa-based fintech company helping innovative organizations digitally transform their payments. Dwolla’s modern payment platform and low-code API simplifies the complex process of integrating with the various payment networks. What is the origin story? Dwolla was founded in 2008 by Ben Milne who now serves on the Dwolla Board of Directors. When founded, Dwolla frontiered mobile payments, allowing businesses and consumers to move money from their bank to friends and family with ease. As the market evolved, so did the Dwolla strategy, pivoting its software offering to offer businesses an easier way to access the US banking infrastructure to send or receive money, rather than selling to individual consumers. Today, businesses across 18 different market verticals are using Dwolla to facilitate the movement of billions of dollars with a flexible, reliable and easy-to-use payments platform. We’ve made an incredibly complex process of navigating the various payment networks and regulations feel simple for our customers and their end-users. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? Dwolla is built by employees that are passionate and committed to fundamentally changing the way the world moves money. Our mission to “enable innovators” is evident in all the work being done, day in and day out. It’s the startup, the entrepreneur, the people that are risking it all to see their dreams come true that motivates us. Our people are our secret weapon. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? Farming, fishing, snorkeling and surfing in Tonga or Fiji! I’ve always been drawn to the “simple life” with minimal possessions and where your life is focused on relationships and experiences. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? Professionally, it’s seeing those I work with be successful. I take so much pride in seeing my co-workers achieve something great, build their confidence, develop leadership skills and create lifestyles that benefit their families. My life’s core metrics are measured by how many people will ultimately say their life was better or enriched because of our relationship. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? Within the past year, Dwolla has seen immense growth, validating the need for a modern payments platform in this modern world. Most recently we raised $21M in funding to expand our team, platform and offerings to meet the needs of our customers and the industry. We rolled out new low-code components to help reduce a payments integration by thousands of lines of code to dramatically shorten the time to value for developers without technical experience. Another game-changing offering in 2021 was the launch of our Real-Time Payments solution, allowing users to send and receive payments to a bank account within seconds. We are excited for the growing traction of Dwolla, but also how we are able to collaborate with forward-thinking innovators to make real-time payments and other offerings easily accessible to businesses of all sizes. Dwolla has seen an 80% increase in transaction volume since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, trending to exceed $30 billion in 2021. These expanded volumes come with a growing customer base that onboarded nearly 3 million end users through the first half of 2021 to the Dwolla Platform, emphasizing the need for a digital payment solution that can meet the operational needs of modern enterprises and their customers. With this traction comes the opportunity to help our customers transform and scale their businesses as well. It is exciting to see the work we are doing is helping others to bring more innovation to the table. What technologies are you currently most excited about, and most worried about? And why? The chasm between card and ACH payment rails has always been distinct and wide. I’m most passionate about lessening the gap, and bringing ACH functionality to life that has previously been a limitation for that modality (like transfer speed). As we enable the world to move money faster, and in more programmatic ways, we’re supporting the interconnectedness of the world. What drew you to get published on HackerNoon? What do you like most about our platform? HackerNoon is a one-of-a-kind publication that hosts content from other tech leaders and professionals. This platform shares valuable insight for supporting start-ups to scale-ups and beyond. What advice would you give to the 21-year-old version of yourself? Focus on bringing value to others, value to your employer, and the rest will take care of itself. If you are the best in your current role, the money and opportunities will always follow. Personally, I would tell myself to see the end in mind, be more deliberate around what I hope to accomplish (in and out of work) and make sure my efforts are aligned with that personal vision. I.e., Don’t be distracted by things that don’t matter or don’t contribute to what matters most! What is something surprising you've learned this year that your contemporaries would benefit from knowing? That imposter syndrome is a real thing! As I’ve gotten to know myself better, and have built meaningful relationships with other CEOs and successful entrepreneurs, it’s that we all grapple with feelings of inadequacy and not being good enough. All of us tend to compare who we are and our lives to the highlight reels of others. I’ve increasingly learned that my happiness isn’t derived from status, title, income or the size of my home. It’s based on how closely your life is aligned with your core values. for is Des Moines! Vote Dwolla Startup of the Year

Running a Nonprofit: Gary Vee Interviews Scott Harrison, Founder & CEO of Charity Water

Examination of Tristan Harris for the Disinformation and ‘Fake News’ Report

I’m a huge fan of Sam Harris. I’ve read some of his books and I listen to his podcast “Waking Up” as often as I can on my way to and from work. I honestly think that he’s one of the best interviewers out there today. I know he prefers the term “conversations” rather than “interviews” when describing the contents of his podcast but I still think most journalists have a lot to learn from him. His questions are spot on, he lets his interviewees speak their mind and he rarely interrupts them. Apart from this he’s a great thinker and I agree with him about 95% of the time, especially when it comes to religion. I discovered him through various debate videos with two of my other heroes, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. I know how important secularism is to Sam and how the importance of the separation of church and state is at the very core of his world view. What I’d like to hear are his thoughts on the separation of money and state, the open blockchain. I’ve heard Sam mention blockchains on his podcast and I think he accepted Bitcoin donations a while back. I’ve also heard people from the crypto community mentioning Sam, last in a tweet from Richard Heart, who apparently wants to have a conversation with him. So Sam, should you come across this article somehow here’s my humble request: Get someone from the Bitcoin space on your podcast! There are a lot of thinkers out there that see this as the biggest, most disrupting innovation since the internet itself. My top pick would be Andreas Antonopolus but there are a lot of other great speakers on the subject such as Nick Szabo, Richard Heart and Don Tapscott to name a few. I know that this is an unusual way of getting someone’s attention and requesting podcast guests but I think that it just might be one that actually gets heard. I believe that unorthodox ways of communicating are necessary if you don’t want to drown in the ocean of voices that the internet is. Feel free to spread this as much as you want if you’d like to hear Sam’s thoughts on the topic. I for one will be an even more devout supporter of the Waking Up podcast if it works.

You can hate it; you can love it. But you can’t ignore it. continues to take the world by storm in virtually every arena, and it seems, human resistance is futile. While many people are enjoying that AI is taking over difficult tasks, many continue to fear this takeover. Who is winning in the AI scoreboard? Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI is a new Beatles song next week, featuring the voice of late member John Lennon. Called “Now and Then,” the song includes parts recorded by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and the late George Harrison. helping release Hollywood writers scored over AI this month, when they came up with a new contract that secures them against how the technology can be used in film and television projects. The five-month strike, one of the longest in history of strikes, proved that we can’t replace human writers. Not yet. But what about in the future? While talk show producers have started planning new episodes as they put , September saw another human win. According to , Gareth Edwards, the director of , decided to compose the soundtrack for his upcoming movie about AI, , with AI. While the results were “pretty damn good”, he realized it wasn’t as good as the human Hans Zimmer. Hollywood back to work MIT Technology Review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story The Creator “But in the back of my head I was like, ‘But the reason you go to Hans Zimmer is for 10 out of 10,’” Edwards said. R&D says Humans are Important for AI Success According to the by , an AI data solutions company that surveyed AI, ML, and data practitioners across industries, found an increasing need for better and human expertise and oversight in delivering successful AI. This is especially true as powerful new generative AI tools and continuous improvements to automation are rolled out at an increasingly rapid pace. 2023 State of ML Ops report i Merit data quality https://twitter.com/prateekpanda/status/1691734777341358284?embedable=true The study demonstrates the necessity for real experts in the loop at every stage of the ML Ops lifecycle, not just during the data phase. The most skilled AI practitioners in the world are aware that businesses that use human experts in the loop have higher levels of efficiency, better automation, and operational excellence. Future AI commercial results are improved as a result of this. Quality data is the lifeblood of AI and it will never have sufficient data quality without human expertise and input at every stage Radha Basu, Founder, and CEO, iMerit “Quality data is the lifeblood of AI and it will never have sufficient data quality without human expertise and input at every stage,” said Radha Basu, Founder, and CEO, iMerit. “With the acceleration of AI through large language models and other generative AI tools, the need for quality data is growing. Data must be more reliable and scalable for AI projects to be successful. Large language models and generative AI will become the foundation on which many thin applications will be built. Human expertise and oversight is a critical part of this foundation.” 96% of survey respondents indicated that human expertise is a key component to their AI efforts. 86% of respondents claim that human labeling is essential. 65% of respondents also stated that a dedicated workforce with domain expertise was required for successful AI-ready data. But isn’t it inevitable that one day AI will learn all that humans have to teach? Recently, Elon Musk has in a new biography that digital brainpower will “dwarf” human intelligence, posing risks from super-intelligent AI systems.

It is estimated that at least 45 persons are killed annually by lightning in this country. The average number of deaths by lightning has been 22 in England, 9 in Switzerland, 3 in Belgium, and 75 in France. In France alone, during a period of thirty years, over 10,000 persons were smitten, of which 2,252 were instantly killed. Eighty were wounded and 9 killed during one thunderstorm at Châteauneuf les Montiers in 1861, and within one week, when the air was highly charged with electricity, thirty-three fearful flashes of lightning were observed, each bringing death to some victims. During the sixteen years between 1799 and 1816, 156 vessels of the British navy were struck by lightning; 73 men were killed and 138 injured, and the loss of materials amounted to over a million dollars; but since the system of metallic conductors, adapted for vessels, devised by Sir W. Snow Harris, has been applied to the vessels in that navy, the losses and damages by lightning have almost entirely ceased, although the number of vessels has been greatly increased. In Fuller's Church History it is stated that "scarcely a great abbey in England exists which once, at least, was not burned down by lightning from heaven." On the night of April, 1718, twenty-four steeples were struck along the coast of Brittany; and on the 11th of January, 1815, twelve steeples suffered a similar fate in the Rhenish provinces. On the 27th of July, 1759, lightning burnt all the woodwork of the great cathedral at Strasbourg; and on the 14th of August, 1833, it was struck three times within a quarter of an hour, and so much damaged that the repairs cost about $6,000,000. In 1835 lightning conductors were placed upon the building and steeple, and since then it has not been damaged whatever by lightning, although discharges have on several occasions occurred in line with the top of the steeple, which is 437 feet above the ground. On the 18th of August, 1769, the Tower of St. Nazaire, at Brescia, was struck, and the subterranean powder magazine, containing 2,076,000 lbs. of powder, belonging to the Republic of Venice, was exploded. One sixth of the whole town was laid in ruins and the rest very much injured, and about 3,000 persons killed. On the 26th of June, 1807, the powder magazine of Luxembourg, containing 28,000 lbs., was struck, and besides about 30 persons killed and 200 injured, the town was ruined. Explosions and large fires, involving a great loss, have become rather frequent in this country, owing to the iron tanks used for the storage of petroleum being struck by lightning. From March to August, in 1876, over 10,000,000 gallons, and on April 19, 1877, over 2,000,000 gallons of oil, and the village of Troutman, were destroyed in the oil regions of Pennsylvania. Some of the thunderstorms which have prevailed in this country have been very terrific and destructive. During August 14th, 15th, and 16th, 1872, portions of New York State and the New England States were visited by some of the most terrific thunderstorms ever experienced, during which over 200 dwellings were struck and damaged, about 10 persons were instantly killed, and 160 stunned. Quite a number of barns, with their contents, hay and cattle, were also struck, fired, and consumed. Cars, while running on some of the railroads, were surrounded by a vivid electric light, but no passengers were injured, although they were greatly alarmed. Telegraph wires were melted by the half mile, telegraph instruments broken, and poles shattered in all directions. One of these storms occurred at midnight, at Arlington, Mass., August 14th, in which brilliant streams of electricity darted across the sky in every direction, and the thunder which followed was constant for a period of thirteen minutes, without the intermission of an instant of silence. Three hundred and thirty-one discharges were counted in seven minutes by an observer, and each discharge was followed by loud and sometimes rattling reports, whose reverberations rolled through the heavens in an endless procession of majestic and terrific sounds. During this scene, the moon, which was about half an hour above the western horizon, was visible, but so magnified, through the haze and vapor, as to appear like a brilliant flame suspended in the sky. For a period of twenty minutes the scene was one of grandeur and sublimity rarely witnessed. In the States of Illinois and Iowa, and the prairie country west of the Mississippi river, thunderstorms are generally more terrific, and more lives have been lost there from the effects of lightning than in any other section of this country. Owing to the said country being level and devoid of trees, the equilibrium between the electricity of the atmosphere and that of the earth is principally restored by disruptive discharges.— Spang's "Treatise on Lightning Protection." A tooth of a mastodon has been dug up near the Ashley river in South Carolina. It is 11½ inches long, 6 inches in diameter, and weighs more than 5 lbs.
