NEEDLESS FEAR OF LIGHTNING -
In the August CEatHyy, Alexander
M Cabe gives encouragement and
advice to people who have an eX-
cessiYe fear OF being struck by light
ning-or thunder as some OF them
think He writes: The keen suf-
ierlngs which some ot them
| undergo lust IN advance Of or dur
ing a thunderstorm is OF a durl
nature. The sense OF impending
danger alarms and terrIhes; but
there IS also a depression OF spirits
which IS physical and real brought
about by some as yet unknown re-
lation between the nervous system
and conditions OF air pressure,
humidity, and purity. The suffer
ing due to depression and partial
exhaustion requires from those
who are strong, sympathy ra her
than rldicule The suffering due
TO alarm and fright, however, rs
unnecess lry. 1t IS largely the work
OF the ImagIn alton. To a nervous
nature there IS something appal-
ling IN the wicked, spltetul gleam
Of the lightning, and the crash and
tumult OF thunder. But such a
one should remember that the fash
Is almost always far distant, and
that thunder can do no more dam
age than the low notes OF a church
organ, Counting all the deaths
from ali the storms during a year,
We 6nd that the chance OF being
killed by lightning 5 less tnan one

times less than IN the country.
Dwellers IN city houses may be
startled by peals OF thunder, but
owing to the great spread of TIN
roofing anu iaIr ground cOnnec-
uon, there IS very little danger. In
the country, It buildings are ade-
quately protected, and the momen
tum OF the fash provided for, the
occupants may ieel secure A good
conductor, we'll grounded, is neces-
saTY IN all isolated and exposed
buildings. Barns especially, when
lined with green crops, should have
good lightning conductors. The
question IS often asked, DO trees
protect9' he answer IS that the
degree of protection viii vary with
the character Of the tree and us
distance from a watcTcourse An
oak IS more liable TO lightning
stroke than a beech. The charac-
ter or the wood,th area of leai-
age, the extent and depth oi root,
will de.ermIne the liability TO
stroke. Another question which
IS often asked IS whether there IS
danger aboard a large steamship
during a thunderstorm. On the
contrary, there are few safer places.
Sufficient metal with proper super
heal area IS lnterposed IN the path
OF the lightning, and its electrical
energy converted into harmless
heat, and rapidly dIsslpated. Ac.
cldents occur chiefly because the
victims ignorantly place them
selves IN the line Of greatest strain
and thus form part Of the path oil
discharge. For this reason, il is
not wise to stand under trees. near
flag poles or masts. in doorways,
on porches. close to 6replaces or
near barns. Those who are not
EXPOSED in any OF these ways may
feel reasonably safe. IL should be
remembered, in the event OF acci
dent. that lightning does not al
ways kill. 1t more often results
IN suspended animation than IN
somatlc death. Therefore, in case
OF accident, try to restore anIma
ton, keep the body warm, and |
send for a physician without de-
lay.

BEERS DEATH
SHROUDED IN
DEEP MYSTERY
Was Found UnCon-
SCiOus in the Cellar.

Bernard Beer, well known downtown
commission merchant was found in the
cellar of his store at the southeast cOrntr
Of SansOme and Washington streets
Thursday morning in an unconscious con-
dition. He was Immediately removed to
his home, 1850 Ellis street, where he died
yesterday morning.
Beers sudden and unexpected death was
topic for general discussion in commits
sion circles yesterday. When Beers pros
trate form was lifted into a private am
buiance Thursday morning to be driven
to his home the crowd of commission mer
chants and others who labor in neighbor-
ing stores. who had collected on the side
walk, were informed by the employees Of
the unconscious man that he had acct

probably caused by asphyXiation.
The relatives of the dead man have dis
played an unusual desire TO hush the mat

one of his employees ii was lying race
downward in the cellar and the gaSJets
were turned full on. The cellar was fun
of gas, but nevertheless the employees and
the relatives of the deceased insisted that
he was injured by falling through the
open freight shaft.
Coroner Hill was notified of the death
early yesterday morning, and he visited
the house TO make an investigation. AS a
result of his Investigations the Coroner
became convinced that Beer was aCci-
/ dentally asphyxiated.
According to the story told Coroner Hill
1t was Beers custom to take a nap in the
cellar of his store every morning after
the early rush was over. On Thursday
| morning he went down into the cellar
about o'clock to take his usual nap.

smothered by water in the supply pipe

wife states that he regained consciousness

the vessel nearly went down in a hurri-
