CURIOUS EFFECT OF STORM AT THE GIN

Cincinnati, Aug. s.-About half past O'Clock
last night. a sharp flash of lightning. followed by a
terrific peal of thunder, startled the large crowd
in the exposition buildings. Instantly all the arc
lights in the building went out and the Government
exhibit and machinery hall felt in total darkness
Tn incandcscent lights were not affected. II seems
that the electric current struck the dynamos and
extingulshed the lights. The lightning produced a
countcractnG current and stopped the machinery in
stanty. When the current had passed the dynamos
started up again, all right and where there was
darkness again light
The rainfall following the thunder and lightning
was so heavy that the noise produced drowned the
