The cause of death by lightning is
the sudden absorption of the electric
current. When a thunder cloud which
is highly charged with positive electric
ity hangs over any certain place the
earth beneath it becomes abnormally
charged with the negative electric cur
rent, and man, animal or other object
standing or lying directly beneath also
partakes of the last mentioned infu-
ence. If, while the man. animal or
other object is in this condition, dis
charge takes place from the clouds
above, the restoration of the equilib-
rum will be sudden and violentaor, in
language that we can all understand,
the negative current from the earth
will rush up to join the positive cloud
current, and in passing through the OBJ
ject which separates the two currents,
II it be an animate being, will do so
with such force as to almost Invariably
produce instant death
