The Brooklyn Gun Club owns a great
kennel at Smithtown, l.. l. 1t is inclosed
by telegraph wire, and from this every
sixteen feet wire sixty feet long runs
toward the center of the Enclosure. Each
wire has on it sliding ring, and to these
rings the dogs are fastened by chains.
Thus each dog can get sixty feet of ex-
ercise along the line of his wire and
few feet laterally according to the length
of his chain. On Saturday night % dogs
were chained there. Then came a thun-
der storm. The lightning struck the
wire fence and, following the admirable
connections provided for it, instantly
killed l6 dogs, valued at from $50 to
$3.50 each. Why it skipped the other
seven nobody knows.
