weapons which. when used by q clever,

Freaks of Globe Lightning.

A very singular story is told concern
ing the yagaries of one mass Of globe
lightning. A tailor in the Hue st. JAG
ques, in the neighborhood of the Val
de Grace, was getting his dinner one day
during Il thunderstorm, when he heard
loud clap, and soon the chimney board
fell down. and a globe of fire as big as a
child's head came out quietly and moved
slowly about the room at small height
above the floor. The spectator, in con-
versation afterward with M. Rabbinet,
Of the Academic des Sciences, said it
looked like good sized kitten rolled up
into ball and moving without showing
its paws. 1t was bright and shining, yet
he felt no sensation of heat The globe
came near his feet but by moving them
aside he avoided the contact.
After trying several excursions in diff
ferent directions it rose vertically to the
height of his head-which he threw back
to prevent it touching hiin-steered to-
ward hole in the chimney above the
mantelpiece and made its way into the
flue. Shortly afterward-"when sup
posed it had had time to reach the top"
the tailor said--there was terrible ex-
plosion. which destroyed the upper part
of tho chimney and threw the fragments
onto the roofs of some adjoining build
ings, which they broke through.

adopted, but you'll find when you come
to fiat hunting that there is nothing in a
