NEW DANGER IN MONEY.
Give 1t Away When Thunderstorm
Comes Up.

An incident has occurred in England
which goes to show that people whose
pockets are loaded with coin should not
be caught in a thunder storm A cab
man was passing along a footpath
shaded by trees, when a lightning flash
struck him and killed him instantly
His body was only slightly marked,
but some parts of his clothes were
ripped into long vertical ribbons, while
other parts We're torn to shreds. Half
the inner uppers of each shoe was gone,
the metal eyelets of the outer upper be-
ing burnt out, and the right shoe was
blown completely off the foot
But the most remarkable point about
the lightning flash was the way in
which it's direction was influenced. In
the mans right trousers pocket were
fourteen shillings in silver, and in his
left inside breast pocket there were
thirty-seven sovereigns and twenty
eight half-sovereigns in a common
leather jaw-open purse, with the metal
rim. In the waistcoat pocket on the
right was silver matchbox, also a
silver watch The gold coins were
found in different states of fusion,
some being welded together, and others
only partly fused ON one side as
though they had been splashed with
molten metal Many of both the gold
and silver coins showed fusion of the
milling of the edges only. The watch,
which was covered with splashes of
metal, had a hole of a quarter of an
inch in diameter burned through its
case. The finding of the inquest was
that the gold attracted the lightning
The path of the current was through
the head to the gold in the inner breast
pocket, thence to the right trousers
pocket, containing the silver, touching
the watch on its way One of the
jurymen expressed the opinion that had
the deceased not been Immediately
under the tree his head would probably
not have been struck first, but the gold
would have received the discharge di-
