containing 2,O.s.0to pounds Of powder
belonging TO the Republic OF Venice. uAs
Exploded. One- sixth of the whole toan
was laid in ruins and the res, very much .
injured, and about 1000 persons killed.
On the 26th of June, 1907, the powder
magazine Of Luxembourg. containing
200 pounds, was struck, and besides
about ~ 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 1875, over 100000 gallons,
and on April 10, 1877, over 100000
gallons of oil, and the village of Trout
man, 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
18th, 18th and 10th, 1872, portions of
New York State and the New England
States we're 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 100 stunned.
Quite number of barns, with their con-
tents, hay and cattle, were also struck,
fired and consumed. Cars, while running
on some of the railroads, we're surround
ed by vivid electric light, but no pas
sengers were Injured, although they were
greatly alarmed. Telegraph wires melted
by the half mile, telegraph instruments
broken and poles shattered in all direc.
tons. One of these storms occurred at
n idnight, at Arlington, Mass, August
18th, in which streams OF electricity dart
ed across the sky in every direction, and
the thunder which followed was constant
for 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 fol-
lowed by loud and sometimes rafting
reports, whose reverberations rolled
through the heavens in an endless process
sion OF majestic and terrific sounds. Dur
ing the scene, the moon, which was about
half an hour above the western horizon,
was visible, but so magnitied through the
haze and vapor as to appear like a bril-
liant 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 Mississip-
ri 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 be.
tween the electricity of the atmosphere
and that of the earth is principally re-
stored by disruptive discharges.--Spangs
