DEATH BY LIehTNINe.
A Theory That 1t Is Caused by the Upwart
Electric Current.

a Theory That 1t Is Caused by the Upward
Electric Current
The phenomenon of lightning is the
signal that announces the coming to-
gether of different electric currents in
the restoration of equilibrium. All
life is electricity, the stomach is re-
generator. the brain is a battery, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. When one
is killed by lightning, death is due to
absorption-to a loss of this vital fluid,
or whatever it may be termed, that i'm
pels the physical engine. A thunder
cloud is charged with positive cleo
tricity, the earth below is charged
negatively. Any object below this
cloud is similarly charged with this
negative current. A discharge from
above takes place, the currents meet,
ignition ensues, the expansion of the
gases produces a vacuum, the air comes
together again with a report and this
is thunder.
A late view is, when one animate OBJ
ject is struck dead by lightning, that
the upward and not the downward
current is the agent. The fact that no
bird on the wing has been known to
be killed by lightning is not con-
elusive in sustaining this latter view
of the method of lightning in produc
ing death.
When a tree is thus struck, the sod
is frequently lifted away from the
roots in such q manner as to indicate
the downward passage of the stroke.
