"They vary according to the location

in New York city, I have noticed that
whenever we have south or southeast
wind, of Il hot summer afternoon, and
when there were clouds in the air well
charged with electricity, the wind blows
them over in the direction of the Orange
Mountains. There they meet the dry,
cool air of the hills and they back right

we are very favorably located for thunder

These positions are curves described Dy
a single bolt, all being visible and vanish
ing in the fraction of a seeond--Just long
enough to leave an impression less on the
eve than on the mind of the observer. The
curve and dip alternately were not unlike
those of q shuttlecock, but were SO swift
and dazzling that the impression received
was but weak approximation OF the
reality.

Another strange picture was that of the
deadly ''articulated" lightning, which, be.
ginning at point in the southeast travs
elled swiftly downward, branching Off at
intervals and then disappearing
with a sharp westward curve in the
direction of the earth. This, and the
'zig-zag" flash are the only forms
of lightning regarded as fatal to life or
dangerous to property, as they invariably
seek the earth. In their descent the
stream broadens till it attains the dimen-
sions of wide belt of fire, travelling at
ineoneeivablea speed and leaving in its
trail distinct sulphurous odor. AT a
distance in the sky it seems like q slender

Some of the most tremendous electrical
storms ever known in this country have
occurred during the last two summers
Many people have been instantly killed
by the mysterious agent, which science
now proposes to harness for the execu-
tion of condemned murderers, and the
destruction of property has been some
thing unprecedented.
Recent experiments with the instan-
taneous camera have done much toward
bringing some of the eccentricities OF
lightning within our comprehension,
but the little they have disclosed only
serves to augment curiosity.
One of the most interesting and novel
experiments in this direction was made
few days ago with the instantaneous
camera, while severe thunderstorm was
raging. The storm centre was over the
lower bay, and Immediately east of Sandy
Hook. Intermittent flashes lit up the sky,
followed at longer intervals by q binding
blaze of light, so dazzling that when it ex-
pired the whole atmosphere seemed filled
with a sulphurous blackness. The time
was about seven O'Clock y. IN.

Focusing the camera on the group of
nimbus clouds that marked the storm
centre, the operator waited his oppor-
of bluish-white streamed out from a
common branch or centre extending all
over the horizon and glittering, family
here and brightly there, for probably two
seconds, when they expired. The ex-
''trunculated'' lightning, every branch of
the tree being connected with the parent
stem, although the connection had not
been visible to the naked eye. In this
case, the streamers ran from the zenith
downward. Later, another exposure
brought the reverse picture, the lines of
glittering flame traversing the sky from
the horizon upward. The sw1ftness
of the passage of the fluid in the heavens
may be imagined from the fact that the
second, took in the whole tree as unit
on both occasions

NEWARK, Sept. Z, 1sS9.--Luke Crogan,
a mason in the employ Of ex-Police Com

killed in Broad street, near New, at
Twelve m. today, while attempting to get
upon the front platform of horse car No.
II, of the Bloomfield vvenue line, on its
north bound trip. He had been on spree
since Monday last, and called ut the office
of Marsh & Son, room % in No. 10 Cedar
street, to collect some money that was
due, but Mr.. Marsh, seeing that he was in
an intoxicated condition, refused to- pay
him.. Then he asked for car fare to go to
his home, No. 73 GarSide street, and Mr.
Marsh gave him five cents.
He then left the office and went across
Military Park to East Park street, where
Marsh & Son are erecting some new
stables. and where Crogan had been at
work up to Monday last After borrow
ing a small sum there from one of his fell
low workmen, he returned across the
Park to Broad street, just in time to
catch car No. II to go to his home. He
ran out to the car and clutched the rail
ing of the front platform, when he lost
his hold and fell in such way that the
car passed over him and killed him
instantly.
The driver, John Alpaugh, gave him
self up at Headquarters and was locked
up, but ut three p. M, when Justice Rod
rigo arrived and learned of the action of
the Acting County Physician, he was
promptly discharged.
Crogan served in the Thirty-third New
Jersey Volunteers during the late war,
and was wounded at the skirmish of
Peach Tree Creek, while under Sherman
on his famous march to the sea, and had
drawn pension for some years.
