A freak Of lightning probably more re

In the parlor Of which hung collection OF
Revolutionary swords, one of which was
heavily plated with silver. Aterrific thunder.
storm came at night, anil one terrible crash
aroused the household. All were stunned
for moment, but recovering they fastened
to discover what damage was done.
Suddenly the youngest Vandyck pointed
to an old fashlone d sofa. Upon It lay what
was apparently the silver image of a cat
curled up In an exceedingly comfortable
position. As far as the shape and posture
of the animal were concerned 1t might have
been q live cat. Each glittering hair was
separate and distinct, and each silvery
bristle Of the wniskers described q graceful
curve as In life.
Father and son turned toward the swords
which hung upon the wall just above the
sofa and there saw that the sword had been
striped OF all its silver. The hilt was gone
and the scabbard was but strip of black
ened steel. The family cat had been electro
plated by lightning.
In one OF the Danes OF glass IN the window
was found a round hole about the size of a
half dollar, " here the lightning had evidently
entered. There was a charred streak across

in the Bible, grew day by day more fond
of reading it, and finally formed the
bold project of tranSlating it into his

The west of Greenland, while it has
many glaciers which project vast masses
of ice far into the sea, has nevertheless
many small valleys, where, during the
short summer, vegetation is abundant.
