Everyone is aware that lightning will
play queer freaks. but for uniqueness
the achievement Of last, Friday night will
probably be unsurpassed. in this locality,
ut least, for some time. During the rain
that amounted to almost cloudburst,
there was 4 very vigorous electric dis
play At the home Of Mr.. L. f. Brick
ley, where the angle of death had visited
! during tie same week aud had taken
from him his beloved wife. Mr.. Brickley,
his daughter Hattie, Mr.. Chapman and
Leona Mathe wson were seated in the
sitting room. All at once came blind
ing flash Of lightning, followed by re-
port that seemed like Il pistol shot in
their faces, which put out the lamp and
partially stunned all OF the occupants
but Mr.. Brickley. He saw that the two
girls clothing was on fire, and imedlatly
commenced to extinguish the fire that
had started there and in several places
in the room, and was soon assisted by
Mr.. Chapman. ADMINISTRATION showed
that the lightning struck tie chimney,
demolishing it, passed down into the
sitting room, splintered the floor in
several places, all around the occupants,
crossed to the east side Of the room
where the two girls were seated on the
couch, and struck them both on their
legs between their knees and feet, burn
ing them quite severely. 1t tore to
shreds one OF Miss Matllewson's shoes,
nothing being left Of it but strips of
leather and a part Of the sole, the other
one was also torn quite badly. Miss
Hattie Brickley's limb is partially "r-
allied by the shock, but it is expected
| that she will soon regain the use Of it.
The lightning also went into All adjoin-
ing bed room, partially demolishing it
and setting fire to the mattress. All feel
that it was very narrow esca pe for the
occupants. s.a.-.s

Next Years. Total Eclipae

The totally ec1ipsed sun, according
to Nature, can OILY be observed for
something like three hours in cen.
fury. 1t also states that the Span
islr minister of finance has given
instructions that all Instruments
intended for observations of the
eclipse of the sun on May ~,
1900, are to be admitted free of duty.
Nature, however, seems to be lncer-
tain of the exact date of the impor-
tant eclipse, for, in another portion
of the same issue September Fly, it
gives the date as May 20, 1900. This
scientific journal states that during
the more recent eclipses, attempts to
extend our knowledge of the sun have
taken the place of the superstitious
fear with which they were formerly
regarded.

Since Heligoland was acquired by the
Germans nine years ago, it has been
thoroughly Germanized, and the inhab-
itants have almost forgotten how to
speak English. Grim Notifications
have been built to protect warships
guarding the Elbe route, and the island
is ceasing to be such pleasure resort
for the English as in former years
