Girl struck by Lightning.

During a violent thunder storm re-
Gently, lightning struck Sadie Tunic,
a Russian girl, 13 years old, while
standing in Canal street, New York.
The bolt was attracted by the steel rod
of her umbrella. She was taken to
hospital, where it was found that she
was badly burned about The abdomen,
right leg, both wrists, nose and right
cheek and that she was suffering froIl
the shock. Radiating downward from
the upper part of the breast were half
a dozen marks scared in the skin, while
around each thigh and extending to
the knee were series of rings. Around
each wrist and not unlike bracelet
tattooed in the skin, were two rings.
Her clothing was untouched For
nearly an hour after her admittance to
the hospital, both her legs were para
lyzed, but she recovered the use OF
those members. The girl said that she
did not have any pain at any time.
The physicians do not believe she will
recover entirely and were surprised
that she was not killed outright. Canal
street was crowded at the time the bolt
descended and there was great excite
ment among the people.
