IT is q popular belief that lightning
has never been known TO strike a
beech tree. In a recent thunder show

maple standing near together, with
branches interlecking each other, re-

cloud which shattered the maple and
passed into the earth through pros
trate hemlock tree lying near which
was stripped of its bark nearly the
whole length. No trace of the light
