Upward Lightning.

When objects Oh the earth are struck by
lightning, tic electricity in tho clouds is;
attracted by that of the earth and rushes
to meet it, or the electricity in the earth
leaps up to join that of tho Clouds Al
though it is probable that the lightning
more often dcsccnls because of the more
numerous points Of escape in the Clouds
yet it Is clear that very frequently tho
lightning whic! strikas buildings and
trees originates in the earth. For in.
stance, water has been flung upward and
stones have been thrown into the mir.
Floors in houses havc been thrust upward
toward the roof. and roofs have been lifted
off and carried many yards.
