This curious phenomenon is not without prece.
dent. Dr.. Franklin mentions the case of u man
who was standing in the door of II house in a
thunder storm, and who was looking ut u tree di-
rectly before him when it was struck by light
ming. On the mans breast was left II perfect da-
guerreotyne Of the tree.
10 1S4l a magistrate and q millor's boy were
struck by Lightning near a poplar tree, in one Of
the provinces Of France and upon the breast OF
each were found spots exactly resembling the
leaves Of the poplar. @
At a meeting of the French Academy of Scienc
es, January 25th, 1S47, it was stated that a wo
man of Lugano, seated ut a window during q
storm, was suddenly SHAKEN by some invisible
power. She experienced no Inconvenience from
this, but afterwards discovered that a blossom, ap
parently torn from a tree by q lightning stroke
was completely imaged upon one Of her limbs, anC
it remained there till her death.
Ia September, 1895, the brigantine II Buon. Ser
10 was anchored in the Amino Bay at the en-
trance Of the Adriatic Sea, where she was strucl
by lightning, In obedience to a superstition, tn,
Ionian sailors had attached a horse shoe to tn,
mizzen-mast, as a charm against evil. When tn
vessel was struck, a sailor who was seated by thi
mast was instantly killed. There were no mark
or bruises upon his person; but the horseshoe
was perfectly pictured upon his back.
A Spanish brigantine was once struck in tn
Rade de Iant. Five sailors were at the Prov
three Of them awake and two Of them sleeping
One Of the latter was killed, and upon undressing
him, the figures A, plain and well.formed, wer
found under his left breast. His comrades de
clared that they were not there before his death
but their original was found in the rigging of tn,
vessel. But the most singular fact connecte
with this affair, arc set forth in the report Of tn
physician, Dicapula, who says after undress
ing the young sailor, we found a band of line
tied about his body, in which were gold pieces an
two parcels done up in paper. The one on tn
right side contained a letter from Spain, tire
guineas, and two halEguineas the other, a letter
four %guineas, a half guinea, and two smalle
pieces. Neither the pieces, the paper, nor the lin
en- presented the least appearance of fire. Blu
upon his right shoulder were six distinct circles
which preserved the natural color, and appeare
as though traced upon the black skin. These Gil
cles, which all touched at one point, were Of thre
different sizes, and eracHy correspond rih the gol
pieces an the right side cf his bet."
