fireplace and the other for stove, the
latter not in use. During thunder
storm tremendous report was heard.
and everybody thought that the house
had been struck by lightning. Instant.

fireplace and rolled out into the room,
seemingly about six inches above the
floor. The excited tailor ran around the
room. the ball Of fire playing about his
feet. Suddenly 1t rose above his head
and moved off toward the stovepipe
hole in the ceiling, which had piece
Of paper pasted over 1t. The ball moved
straight through the paper and up the
chimney. When near the top, 1t ex-
ploded and tore the chimney into thou

debris left by the explosion showed the
