A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY.

Iron Post Found in the Base of an Old Tree
In Wilmington and Brandywinn Gene
terry.
A remarkable discovery was made by
the employees of the w lin iIeton and
brandy Cemetery DO. last Satur
day afternoon, which they believe ex.
plains why one Of the prettiest and
most stately trees in the cemetery was
stu uok aud distigured in a peculiar
manner by lightning last summer.
During a heavy storm in August the
tree in question, large poplar on the
main drive about 200 yards north OF
the Delaware avenue entrance, served
as target for binding bolt Of light
ming The electric fluid must have
struck the tree at an angie, as the top
most trace of its contact tn the tree
was about half way between the ground
and the highest branches. The tree was
damaged considerably and after the
storm an mination was made, and
it was found that the bark had been
torn off the eaeterly side of the trunk
for distance Of nearly half it's height,
and there were three holes IN the trunk,
Indicating that the lightning bolt had
entered where it first struck then,
after passing through the heart, struck
out to the surface, and again penetrated
to the heart, and an examination OF
the trunk on Saturday revealed the
fact that the lightning had gone
straight down into the ground, through
the trunk, from the lowest hole it had
made
The lightning not only disfigused the
tres but also killed it and Superin.
tendent Penrose decided that il must
he taken down, and in accordance with
his ordera it was felled ON Saturday.
When the root was taken up the work.
men found a section of an iron post,
about two feet long, embedded in the
main root, which was directly under
the trunk, and q further investigation
showed that the colt of lightning hac
made a passageway through the hear
| of the tree directly down tn the iron,
and the cemetery men are of the
opinion that the iron in the tres served
! as a magnet to attract the lightning
and that furn shes an explanation o.
| the peculiar manner in which the tree
was torn and otherwise disiigured.
But how the iron post came 10 be ir
tho root of the tree is mystery fol
which no positive explanation has beet
found. 1t is believed, fowever, tina
the post was brokan off, leaving a hol,
and the tree was planted there TO taxi
its place. Tho records shuw that tht
tree was planted az years ago. and a,
the cemetery is several years older
being first used as such in 1874, it il
quite likely that tho post did service
where the tree stood before the treu
was planted, and as 1t stood along TIL
main drive it ia not unlikely that i
was accidentally broken off.
