UPWARD LIGHTNING.
Cases Where Bolts Have Taken That
Queer Course

Cases Where Bolts Have Taken That
Queer Course.
1t is hard for the mind to conceive Of
lightning flash taking other than n
downward course when it strikes OBJ
jects on the ear,h's surface. but there
are many weli-authent.cated eases of
the bolt taking the opposite direction.
\ ease in mind happened at Manches-
ter. England, in August, lSSS, when the
bolt was distinctly seen TO strike the
base of a large cast-iron chimney. and
then to take an upward slant, burning
q crooked river in the metal from the
point OF contact to the top, where it eS-
caped into the atmosphere and eX-
nloded in the manner Of an immense
fire ball.
At Monticello, Ia. on June q, 1898, a
tree near the residence OF q. II. George
was struck by a lightning fash and
torn in manner which clearly indi-
Gated that the current had passed up
ward from the earth.
The director Of the Iowa weather
service corps says that while upward
lightning strokes are reckoncd rs
freaks and phenomena by the laymen,
they are not OF infrequcnt occurrence.
and have often been reported by me
teorological observers
IN one or two Of the Samoan islands
ard at several places on the India,
ocean coast Of Africa the upward StrollJ
is said u be the rule and the dowr
ward the exception.
