Lightning n,.ined Her compasses.

A streak of lightning from an almost
cloudless sky struck the British steam
ship Oxford off Cape Hatteras, while
bound from Santiago de Cuba to Phila-
delphia. The presence of cargo of iron
ore is thought to have served to attract
the lightning. The lightning splintered
the vessels foretruck, and after passing
down into the vessels hold and cabin
zigzagged through the decks and disap-
peared in the water. The compasses were
rendered entirely useless, the main one
being three points and the others even
farther out of the way.-Philadelphia
