LATE NEW YORK BLIZZARD
CONTRASTED WITH OTHERS
Many Instances Given OF the Pene-

snow.

Many Instances Given of the Pene-
tratfng Power OF the Fine
Snow.
The snow In the blizzard OF 1888 was
drter and finer than that OF the 25th
ult I have the keenest recollection OF
the terrible 18th Of March. for I walked
from Washington square to Newspaper
Row and had both ears frostbitten-
Not a car, train, truck. carriage or
cab was moving at the time. For
seven years I could not sleep with my
ear touching the pillow, but the FROST
bite gradually wore itself out. 1t may
sound like a ghost story yet IL is
in a frozen state 1 pinched or pieces
OF the helix without feeling the slight
est pain. When the thaw came-godsf
With IL the blood flowed giving a lit
tie relief. On Wednesday these ears
remembered their frostbite. Old folks
have told me a hundred times that
frostbite never wholly disappears from
the human body.
The 1858 blizzard began on March
IL. When turning In for the night T
left the windows of my bedroom down
a quarter-inch from the top. yet the
snow, as fine as corlander seeds and
perfectly dry. beat it's way In until
it formed bank as high as the win
dow sill (23z feet) and extended three
fourth OF the way across the hOor-
There were about two carloads OF It
within when I awoke next morning
On Wednesday IL did not seem quite
so penetrating. though 1t managed to
steal in at every tightly closed window
of my roost. Absalom, the famous
English cricketer, once traversed the
Great Victoria Desert IN Australia, and
his tales Of what the sand can do and
does do in a simeon would make Mum
chausen look like gospel truth.
Snow will manage to get inside OF a
window where rain in the severest
storm cannot penetrate I have seen IL

ODD FREAKS PLAYED
BY THE LIGHTNING
Sometimes 1t Makes F1ashlight Photo
graphs of Its Unfortunate
Victims.

One OF the fantastic tricks which
lightning plays upon its unfortunate
victims is a kind Of fiashlight photog-
raphy. There are numerous instances
of this which are more or less "au-
thenticated," but they seem almost
too wonderful to be believed. One OF
these is of a young man in New Jer-
sey who was struck by lightning and
was taken in an ambulance to the hos
pital at once. There seemed to be no
wound except a small mark on the
back, but while the doctors and nurses
were examining him a picture began
to develop on the skin. Soon before
the wondering eyes OF the watchers
appeared perfect picture Of Christ
nailed to the cross. The explanation
Is that on the wall opposite the bed
on which the young man lay was ths
picture which was reproduced on his
skin.
Another instance is Of a man who
was struck by lightning and on his
chest were red marks, resembling the
tree, with all it's branches, under
which the man was standing when he
was killed. From France comes the
story of a peasant girl who was driving
cow from the pasture when she was
overtaken by a storm and she and the
cow took refuge under the tree. A
bolt OF lightning killed the cow and
stunned the girl. When she recovered
consciousness she found on her chest
picture Of the cow she had been
driving.
The chatelaine OF the castle OF
Benatonnaire was sitting in chair in
her saloon when the chateau was
struck by lightning. She was unin-
jured, but on the back Of her dress
was found a perfect copy OF the chair
on which she had been sitting, down
to its minutest ornament These are
a few of the many strange pranks
which lightning play upon us.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.
