KILLED In A CHURCH.
Lightning Puts an End to Religious $.

Lightning Puts an End to Religious Ser
vices.
MADRID, June l3.-Terriic thunder
storms prevailed in various parts of
Spain yesterday, and heavy loss of life
| and injury by lightning is reported.
The electricity appeared to pick out the
churches as the objects on which to
show its power, and unfortunately it did
SO while the services were in progress.
At Mehas, in the province of Orenz,
the parish church was crowded with
worshlpers, attending mass, when the
storm burst. Though the peals
OF thunder were very loud and
the flashes of lightning extremely
vivid, not much attention was paid TO
the storm at first. Suddenly a most ter
rife crash of thunder, followed
almost Immediately by a flash of
Lightning that wss binding in its inten-
slty, caused the worshipers to spring to
their feet in fear. Women shrieked in
terror, and little children clutched
their parents in agony of terror. For
two or three seconds after the flash it
was impossible to see anything, the
transition from sudden brightness or
extreme darkness rendering the people
practically blind. The utmost confu-
sion prevailed. Finally, when order
was restored, the congregation was
hoTsltieu 10 find that ten of their
number had been struck by the lightn-
ing and instantly killed, and that
twenty-eight others had been seriously
injured. When this became generally
known the people were panic-strcken
and rushed from the church in the
peiting storm. Many of them-men,
women and chlldren-sought refuge in
the open spaces in the vicinity Of the
church, fearing to enter a house, and
there they remained, drenched to the
skin, until the storm passed over.
An almost similar scene occurred at
MuCientes, in the province OF Nallado-
lid, whore a church was also struck by
lightning. Five of the worshipers
were killed and ten injured. At Bur
gos, capital Of the province of that name,
considerable damage was done to the
famous old cathedral by the lightning
The Burgos Cathedral is one of the old
est buildings in Spain, having been
founded in 1921 and finished in 1867.
The lightning displaced a portion of one
of the walls and did other damage.
Nobody in the cathedral WAS hurt

JAPANESE ETIQUETTE

Travellers in Japan tell of the IN
concern with which Japanese will
take bath in full publicity, and the
custom has impressed foreigners as
immodest An Englishman who mas
not been long in the country says
there is really nothing immodest in
the promiscuouS bathing of men,
women and children from a Japanese
point Of view. With them cleanliness
is the object sought for, and the
etiquette of the bathroom differs from
the etiquette of the parlor. With
Europeans, he says, the attitude of
walters is only permitted when the
music is played. tits something like
this with the Japanese bathers. When
the necessary operation of washing or
doing other work requires it, to strip
becomes duty. On the other hand,
a Japanese woman would scorn to
appear deCollete. To her eye our
bathrooms are an astonishment, and
the exposure of the person for dis
play is incomprehensible. This
writer thinks that the Japanese are
not excelled by their western breth-
rem in modesty.
