WHERE LIGHTNING STRIKES
At functions and on Sharp Curves
and Bends of Trolley
Lines.

II. II. Adams, a Baltimore street
railway man. has a clever method Of
finding out where lightning is likely
to strike one of his cars.
According TO the Street Railway
Journal he keeps In his Office a large
map OF the system, and whenever a
car crew reports that a car has been
damaged by lightning. he sticks a pin
in the map at the point where the car
was at the time.
1t IS astonishing how quickly rec
ord OF this kind Will show up the loca-
tions that seem TO be especially sus-
ceptible to lightning discharges In
the course Of the season a few points
will have a miniature forest of pins
grouped around them. while long
stretches Of track will show no pins
at all
When a particular location begins
10 accumulate a collection Of these tell
tale pins a lightning arrester can be
installed at this point and the trouble
at once eliminated or at least material
ally reduced. From graphic records
kept in this way over a period of
years It has been determined that the
most vulnerable points ara at juno
lions of lines and at sharp bends and
curves.

ABOUT NATURAL BRIDGES.
Their Formation as Accounted For
by Scientific Investi-
gators.

It is commonly believed that natural
bridges, Of which the Natural Bridge
OF Virginia is the best known Amer.
lean example, are due to the falling
in OF cavern roofs, leaving only a part
to span the stream which the destruc-
ton Of the cavern has brought to the
surface.
BY a study OF the North Adams
Natural Bridge, says the Geographical
Record, Prof Cleland has been led to
the conclusion that in this case at
least the origin is quite different In
this case the bridge seems to be due
to the solution OF the limestone along
a joint plane near the former course
of Hudson brook At first only small
amount of water seeped along the joint
plane. but after awhile It made a chan
mel large enough to divert the entire
brook under the surface, giving rise
20 the br. 4ge.
Walcott had previously offered a
similar t.eory for the Natural Bridge
Of Virginia, and Cleland concludes that
while the falling in OF cavern roofs
may occasionally give rise to natural
bridges. the most common cause for
such bridges in marble, limestone.
sandstone and lava is that outlined
above.
