times persons so marked have recovered
from the effects of the bolt. Sometimes
the lightning stroke will cure diseases,
rheumatism being the disorder oftenest
ended by this means, marked instance
Of this sort being reported from mu-
scum in New York a few years ago.
when the stroke entered the place, skip
ped three inmates, struck the fourth
tore his clothes and left him for dead
He recovered in a few days, and to his
joy his joints that were before distorted
with rheumatism were supple and have
since remained so. A monument in a
cemetery in Lancaster, Pa, was struck
by lightning in 1891. The shaft was of
gray granite, but after the stroke it was
all white save for an irregular line ex-
tending its whole length. This line is
deep black in color and appears to be a
concentration of all the coloring matter
in the entire stone, which, by the way,
was left quite sound In a house in
Rochester the leaden Trainings of
stained glass window were melted and
the panes deposited on the floor, while
the glass of a massive mirror was laid
fiat and unframed on the carpet, though
the frame was quite destroyed.
It is early yet for the lightning's
freaks this year, but it has already be-
gun in New Jersey. At Bridgeton the
house of Mr.. Zaccheus Johnston was
struck late in May. Johnston and his
wife were stunned little, but Mrs.
Porch was rendered senseless for an
hour or two her babe was burned hor-
ribly, and gold watch under pillow
was melted Yet nothing about the
house took fire.

THE PEACH CROP.
= Poor Outlook In Delaware. Georgia mnd
the Northwest.


Especial Correspondencel
MIDDLETOwN, Del, June 21.-This
years peach crop east of the Rocky
mountains viii be the poorest in 10
years. Estimates that attempt TO give
exact figures are never to be trusted,
but enough is known Of the prospect
throughout the Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia peninsula to justify the proph-
ecy that this region will produces less
than one-tenth of the normal crop
That is the estimate of Thomas Budd, a
man who knows the whole peninsula
and who has been studying the peach
question for 30 years. Many thousand
trees throughout the 100 miles of the
peninsula peach belt have been almost
destroyed. The disease called the 'syel-
lows" and the warm weather Of March,
followed by cold and snow in subse-
quent weeks, have brought about the
death of at least nine peach buds out of
ten The June drop has taken an
other portion of the crop, so that, COM
mercially speaking peaches will be of
small account this year.
The farms of the late Governor Biggs
and his sons, situated in Kent and
Queen Anne counties, Md, from which
between 40, 600 and so, 900 baskets of
peaches were sold last year, it is esti-
mated will yield this year only 2, 600
or 8, 600 baskets. The Biggs' orchards
were greatly overestimated this time
last year. There will be a few peaches
along the Chesapeake shore of the PENN
sula, but the most sanguine estimate
would put the crop at less than 800, 600
baskets, and many persons believe that
the peninsula will market less than one
fifth Of that number
What is true of peaches in this region
is equally true Of Georgia, the western
shore of Maryland and the northwest.
The New Jersey crop is also much light
er than last year, and there is no really
important region in the east where there
will be a considerable crop. The region
about and below Gettysburg, or what
IS known as the Cumberland valley, has
been increasing in importance as a peach
producing country, but the crop there
is almost a failure. The few peaches
that the peninsula viii send to market
will be of the early varieties, the poor
est peaches that the region produces.
There win be practically no late peaches
from this region, and there viii be no

early peaches from the south New Jer-
sey must DO the chief dependence of the
east for fresh peaches, and prices will
be high
The peninsula which usually fur
nishes the bulk of the cheaper canned
peaches, will furnish very few this year
The local canneries have almost ceased
to compete with those of Baltimore and
the west but the Baltimore canneries
viii be short of material this year, and
the pack will be very small Luckily
the pack last year was unusually large,
and there is considerable stock still on
hand. This will appreciate in value, as
properly canned peaches will keep sew
eral years without loss of flavor or 9TH
er damage. Should there be a good crop
of peaches next year, the shortness of
this years crop will not be SO serious
matter, so far as the canned fruit goes,
as one might expect
The indications are that California
has a good crop of peaches. This has no
significance so far as the summer and
autumn markets in the east are concern
ed California peaches, east of the AL
leghanies, are the luxury Of the rich,
and a questionable luxury at that, as
they reach the eastern markets injured
by cold storage and lacking the delight
full favor and texture of the eastern
peach. But California is really the most
important peach packing district in the
world, and the pack there this year will
be large. California preserved peaches
are delightful in favor and true lux
ury. They are beyond the reach of the
poor, but their price next year need
hardly be higher than usual
So far as the growers in Delaware and
Maryland are concerned, the peach stu
alton means hard times, but not SO
great loss as might be expected, be-
cause the workingmen of the great
cities, who are the largest consumers Of
peaches when the fruit is plentiful and
times are good, have no money to
throw away and would hardly buy
peaches this year at any price A fair
crop of peaches in the east this year
would have meant the lowest prices in
a decade and exceedingly small profits
for the growers.

So far as my own observation goes
the lightning rod agent does not make
himself nearly so numerous as no
once did Certainly the percentage Of
buildings without the surmounting
points is much larger than formerly.
Dread of thunderstorms is to many
persons most horrible thing. 1 know
a man of the coolest temperament, a
man who has exhibited genuine courage
on more than one occasion Of real peril
who will leave his desk when a thunder
storm comes up and walk up and down
his Office, wringing his hands and max
ing a nuisance of himself generally. He
says he cannot control his fears, and
that is doubtless true, for he is keenly
sensible to the righteousness of the fig
ure he cuts. His doctor says that the
man s physical system is probably affect
ed deleteriously by the electrical condi-
tons of the atmosphere during a thun-
derstorm, and that he is quite incapable
Of remaining quiet during its continu-
ance.
There is one class of men and women
who have dislike for thunderstorms
that is based upon experiences that are
SO definite and SO disagreeable that 1t is
not surprising that they have produced
this result. They are the telephone and
telegraph operators, and the stories they
sometimes tell each other of streaks and
globes Of blue and green and red fire
running along and skipping off the wires
are such as to sometimes arouse scott
ings on the part of the incredHlous.
Those who know the most about light
ming harnessed by means Of wires and
embarrassed and pursuing its free course
in the sky and among the the clouds,
it Is worthy Of note. are not likely to
scott at any story that is told of the
lightning. 1t is a curious thing, though,
that, although there is no doubt Of the
existence Of what appear to the observer
to be balls of fire attendant upon thun-
derstorms, no one has ever succeeded
in getting a photograph of such a dis
play, while many plates showing forms
Of electrical phenomena not visible to
the eye because of the rapidity with
which the electric fluid takes its course
have been developed.
Here are a few of the may curious
results Of lightning strokes that have
been recorded within the past few years:
In 1898 Martin Campbell Of Brook
lyn was killed by fash, and his body
was found to be marked with a ring
about the neck, as if he had been stran-
gled by a hangman' moose while Gu

growth of a plant ran along his chest
