FIRE in A. TREE.
An Old Massachusetts Elm Set Ablaze Dy
a Meteor.


The Bennington (Vt) Banner tells
the story of a remarkable occurrence
to a great elm-tree which stood in the
township of Williamstown, Mass, not
far from the Vermont line. The tree
was one of great size, and was land
mark for all the country about
Twenty years ago a Williams Col
lege professor measured it, and found
its first limb to be los feet above the
| ground. and the trunk twenty-four
| feet in circumference.
This tree continued to grow ana
thrive until, during the night or the
fourth of last August 1t was, as all
supposed struck by lightning. Large
pieces of bark were stripped of and
thrown many rods away The ground
was dug up, and limb two feet III
| diameter thrown down.
Next day the tree was seen smok-
ing at the top. 1t was thought TO De
hollow. and that the lightning had
set it on fire. No flame was TO De
seen, but smoke poured out as from
smokestack.
During the latter part of August
the tree was struck by lightning a
second time but no difference was
made in its appearance by the second
: bolt 1t continued TO smoke steadlly'
Weeks and month went by, and the
: tree still smoked. On the evening o.
? election day, November Sth, sud
? denly a great pillar of flame shot up
ward from the elm-tree twenty-five
Y feet into the air. 1t was seen o.
| several people in the neighborhood
b who came rushing to find OUT WhaC
e might be. The flame was accom-
. named by a roar like that of a water
d fail. No immediate inspection wa
e made of the trunk of the tree, Du
II some time afterWard it was examined

e til it was not more than thlrty-nv
70 or forty feet high In the center G
e the top Of this stub was fonnd SUI

p and was slowly burning its way DOW
through the tree.
A quantity of this substance Wa
removed, and was sent to William

ed the tree was struck, not by llghtnln
