LIKE A BLOW IN THE BACK.
How it Feels to be Struck by Light
ming.

Hartford Gonna COurGNt.
Curtis D. Wells, Of this city, has re-
ceived a letter from Henry NJ. Burt, de-
failing the editors experience with light
ming. Mr.. Burt certainly had narrow
escape. He writes:
"a little after O'Clock Saturday night
l was in my Office in the old Summit
House on Mount Washington, and had
just given directions to Darby about max
ing up a form. when all at once 1 felt a
tremendous blow in the back l could
not imagine at first what caused it, but
instantly thereafter I saw a ball Of fire
as large as a mans head directly in front
of me, not three feet off. 1t exploded with
a tremendous noise, seemingly as loud
as a cannon, and then l knew what must
have happened. My left leg seemed to be
completely paralyZed, and l fell TO the
floor. Three of my printers were in the
room at the time, two sitting at the table
near me and one standing up little fur
Their off. The latter had the skin on one
hand torn up, another was hit in the
back, and the third escaped without in
jury. At first / felt as though ball had
gone through my body, and that all below
had been shot away. | was startled and
COMPOUNDED, but did not lose conscious
ness, The young man, who could get out
of the office, ran to the hotel, the Summit
House, and told what had happened.
Help came Immediately, and | was re-
moved to my room in the hotel
and undressed. DIR. Strong, a medi-
cal student of Harvard, took my
case in charge, and treated me with
great skill. In the course of two or three
hours / could begin to move my leg a
very little. This Monday morning l
find myself quite comfortable, though /
cannot walk without cane, and my leg
pains me considerably. | can assure you
that it was a narrow escape from instant
death, and for one | do not care to go
through another experience like it. AS
the storms are all, or most of them, below
the summit, we have very little fear of
being struck by lightning. In fact, for
thirty years no one has been hurt or had
such a narrow escape from death. 1t is
an old saying that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place, and l am sure l
do not care to have it. We were all the
more surprised from the fact that until
the bolt came in we had no idea of the pres
ence of an electric storm. 1t had begun
to rain little but there had been no flashes
of lightning. Itw as startling as it would
have been to get clap of thunder out of
a clear sky. You have probably heard of
the impression of tree being found upon
the bodies Of those killed by lightning.
/ The same thing was noticed upon my
! back, and as there are no trees upon
/ Mount Washington; it seems to me that
! the peculiar appearance must be the re-
! suit of the blood settling III the smaller
