AN OIL-TANK STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.-A
curious accident occurred during a recent
thunderstorm at Oil City, Pa. The light
ming struck IN oi-tank capable of holding
10000 barrels of oil, but containing about
5000 at the time Of the occurrence. The
bolt struck The top of the tank at the edge,
and ran completely around the periphery OF
the top, cutting off the head of every bolt
that fastened the Top to the side. The top
was raised about two feet by tho conclusion,
and the oil took fire, sending the immense
body Of flame high in the air. In an instant
the top fell back to its position, instantly
smothering the fire inside. The oil burned
off the outside of the tank and then went
out, and no further damage was done. The
cover was not two inches out of its original
position after its fall.

AN Iowa WOMAN's PECULAR1TIEs.-'fhe
Davenport Uowa) Democrat, in noticing the
report of the performances of j. K. Brown,
lately published in the Chicago newspapers,
says that highly educated and refined lady
of that city, Mrs. Bleick Peters, possesses
the same remarkable powers. Though adj
verse to exhibiting her peculiar psychic /"
state, it says she occasionally astonishes her
friends by performing the most marvellous
fea,s while in state of seeming somnamhu-
lance, and it is not at all necessary that she
should be thrown into a mesmeric trance 10
elicit these powers. AS in the case of the
Young man from Red Oak, simple contact
with the party knowing the secret work to
lie performed is sufficient. The editor OF
the Democrat says that he has tested the
lady's occult faculty OH several occasions.
Once in particular he placed his watch
in a box, locked the, box, and put the
key in third party's pocket; then placed
the box in a basket, and, after tying oil
the hard knots he could invent, hid it in IN
adjacent room, no one but himself being cog
infant OF the facts. He then resolved that
the lady should discover that watch aud
place il in her husbands hands. He, with
out intimating an idea of his desire, merely
land his hand gently upon the lady. She
Immediately closed her eyes and glided
rather than walked to the door Of the room
opened it, and went to the table, took up
the basket, leisurely united the knots, took
out the box, carried it to the gentleman w he
had the key, which obtaining, she unlocked
the box, took out the watch, and, placing il
in the hands Of her husband, started at once
into the realization of having performed
some involuntary act. This lady is suscep.
tible to the influence at all times and from
any friendly hand, so that mcsmeric power
seems co have nothing to do with it. Sc
powerful is the control which her husband
has over her intellectual faculties that he car
control her actions when out of sight and
some distance away. He has been known
to sit in the garden while the lady was busted
with her household duties, and by mere
act of yolition has enforced obedience to hi
, unuttered wishes.
