y Ee:y singular record is attached to
a deserted and ruined house at Dart
moor, England. 1t was built about
forty years ago by a wealthy land
owner, with the intention Of making
it his country residence; but before
the building operations were complet-
ed a heavy thunderstorm broke over
Dar,mOor, and the house was struck
by lightning, the roof being disman-
tied. The damage was repaired and
the house quickly finished. No sooner
had the owner taken up his residence
in it than another violent storm struck
the house and destroyed q chimney
stack. doing, besides, considerable
damage. This made the owner nerv-
Gus. and he left the house. 1t was
soon shown that lis fears were not
grOundless. for in nearly every thun-
derstOrm that has passed over the dis
tr:ct the house has been struck. and
