ELECTRIC STORMS.

Honolulu had, within the last few
DAYS. some experience with electric
storms. and though the lightning was
frequent and perturbing 1t added no
fatalities to the six or seven hundred
eases per year which make up the
death record from such causes in the
United States. Scientists say that du-
ring thunder storms there is much less
danger In the city than in the country.
The network OF wires-telephone. tele-
graph and electric highland the metal

course OF the electric fluid as to make
Damaging strokes in the city exceed
Ingly rare Honolulu had such an ex-
perience a few days ago. In the midst
of the earlier equinoctial downpour
bolt descended on the town: but 1t was
caught by the overhead wires and the
only result was to temporarily disable
their service. Nobody was hurt and
no building was set on fire.

useful statistics in regard to lightning

est to Honolulu at this time. He d.

considered. the record showing that
fatal strokes average less than one TO
each 10000 square miles The statisti-
cal showing upon which Professor
Henry's figures and conclusions are
based covers the period between 1880
and the present. From this il appears
that the country's annual death loss
through lightning averages between ZOO
and 500. Within the limits of a single
State most of the deaths in the five
year period from 1896 TO 1900 occurred
in Pennsylvania, where lightning killed
