LIGHrN1NG's STRANGE FREAK
Melts Gold Chain Around Ck1ld's
Neck During Storm at Weldon, N. C.

Mets Gold Chain Around a Cklld's
Neck During Storm at Weldon, N. C.
a most remarkable accident occurred
near weldon, n. c., recently, during 4
terrific thunder storm. The family Of
MIR. ~ d. Parker were In their dwelling
mousse, and 1t was raining lightning and
numbering. The electrical storm was
incessant. While this exhibition of ma
turc was going on. Leslie, the Swear
old son of Mr.. Parker, took q tin can
ana went to the front porch to catch
1t full of water. While catching the
water there came n binding flash, fol-
lowed by 4 loud report, that sounded
like cannon. and the child fell off the
porch, TO all appearances dead Mr..
l'arker ran out, gathered The little fell
low in his arms and carried him
across the street to the office of DR..
Green. 1t was over ten minutes before
there were any signs of life. and two
hours passed before there was any
pulse movement. although the little boy
fully recovered in n few hours.
An examination of the house showed
that the electrical current had descend
cd TO the metal roof, passed downward
and forked. One portion split q posi-,
and the other portion passed into n
pantry. shivering the window. Leslie
was struck on the head. The little boy
had n gold chain around his neck. The
electrical current burned his hair, and
then passed down behind his ears to his
neck where 1t came in contact with the
chain and tore 1T from the neck and
ran the metal into a molten mass, which
severely burned his back
There Is n black burned streak all
around the child's neck. and there is a
blue streak on the breast which passes
down, and is visible on other portions
Of the body looking exactly like the
place had been scared with a hot iron.
From these facts the escape from death
Is most remarkable, and would seem to
be miraculous.

4,3OO WORDS PER MIN UTE.

Success Claimed for Squier- Crchore
SynchronoSraph Telegraph System.
Remarkable success Is claimed for the
Squier- Chehole synchronograph system
OF telegraphing. In letter to Editor
Edward Rosewater, Lieut.. George c..
Squier. u. S. A., thus gives the results
OF the test of the sytem.
ON August 90. over q line from Lon-
don via York to Aberdeen and return to
London, distance of over 100 miles, in
Guiding oyer eighty miles on under
ground cables we sent messages at the
rates OF 1890 words per minute, and this;
speed was only limited by the particu-
lar dynamo available,
I'VE have also tried 4 cable represent
ing the German cables OF 100 knots from
here to Germany and sent over it at
the rate of 300 words per minute. Our
apparatus Is mounted- in the general
postoffice, London, from which point the
experiments thus far have been made.
by the employment of the synochron-
osraph, 1t is claimed, 500 words per min
ute can be easily sent across the ATTAIN
tic cable. The inventors maintain that
their very successful trials in England
demonstrate the possibility of sending
press messages between New York and
Chicago at such a speed that the entire
contents of a newspaper could be trans
mitted In the light Of their recent cue
cess.
The speed at which messages under
this new and wonderful system may be
sent is limited it Is asserted, only by the
speed at which an electric dynamo can
be made to rcvolve. The messages are
both sent and received by aid of dyn-
amo.
1t is declared that with the successful
operation of the system letters up TO the
length OF 500 words can be transmitted
by the telegraph at no greater cost than
by the postal rates now in effect.

Captain Lorenzen and Jack Stelling
had quite a severe accident while driv-
ing in from Waikiki Sunday at about
p. m They were driving along in a
buggy on Keeaumoku street, and had
just reached Young, when a runaway
horse, ridden by Roby Andrews. II
year-old girl, came racing along. Cap
tain Lorenzen, who was driving, whip
ped up his horse TO get out of the way.
but he was too late. The runaway
horse made dash and went through
the buggy, kicking Captain Lorenzen
in the head and causing Jack SIZZLING
TO climb through the back as quickly
as possible.
The girl was thrown about 10 feet,
the top of the buggy mashed in and
Captain Lorenzen's horse thrown to
the ground. The whole thing was done
so quickly that neither one of the oc-
cupants of the buggy could state posi-
lively what happened. They have a
slight recollection of a horse passing
swiftly in front of them, and that is
about all. The young girl was quite
severely hurt.
