Lord Roberts Advance.

The bulletin says there Is no part OF the
South where grapes Of fine quality cannot
be grown in sufficient quantity for home
use, and in many parts they are an eE-
ceedingly profitable market crop. In The
South the vines are never injured by Sc

frost destroys the early blooms. but neye
hurts the vine enough TO prevent bearing
a fair crop OF fruit

vines running north and south so that The
tops OF the vines will shade and protect

HURLED FROM HIS BICYCLE.
A New Jersey WheeIman's Terribly
ing Experience With lightning.

New Jersey WheeIman's Terribly
ing Experience With Lightning.
NEW YORK. May I0-HurIed from his
wheel by lightning was the experience Of
William Joy. of MonseIair. n J.. on Tues
day night. His wheel was struck as he
was seorching home to escape a big thun-
derstorm.
Joy. who is a stationary engineer en-
pIoyed in the factory of E. H. Balwwin. at
Vernon, n. J., started 70 ride to his home
in Montclair. He rode along Verona Ave
nue., but had only gone a short distance
when the storm was upon him.
Half blinded by lightning flashes and
drenched with the rain, the rider plunged
along He knew there was a farm house
a short distance ahead. He was within a
few hundred feet of refuge when there
came a deafening crash. and a binding
blaze enyeloped him and his wheel. He
felt a terrible shock, and was hurled head
foremost through the air for twenty feet
falling in a thicket by me roadside There
be lay stunned for several inmates before
he managed to stagger TO his feet His
head was ringing. his clothing was rent.
but beyond some ugly cuts and bruises. he
bad escaped without injury
In the road Joy found his wheel with the
frame twisted the front wheel shattered.
and the whole machine SCARED by the ac-
ton of the intense heat. Leaving the
wreck where it lay. he staggered to the
farm house. which he reached in an almost
fairting condition. He soon. however. re-
covered from the effects of the shock and
was able to take trolley car to his home.
Joy attributes his escape from death to the
fact that his body was in great measure
insulated from the wheel by the cork grips
and rubbed pedals.
