Lightning Splits Big Tree.

The peculiar FRANKS played by a
bolt of lightning o. an oak tree at
tracked hundreds of people yesterday
to Wissahickon venue near Lincoln
lake, says the Philadelphia Record.
The tree. which was fully 1875 feet tall,
was struck during the electric storm
recently and was split down a
distance of 76 feet, the halves falling
in opposite directions. Fifty feet OF
the upper part was stripped Of bark,
and a most peculiar thing was that the
roots were torn completely out of the
ground and hurled a considerable dis
lance, while a circle of bark four feet
high was left standing.

Enthusiastic.

A fve-year-old boy recently COM
menced attending Sunday school, and
became deeply interested In the teach
ings he received. After one OF two
lessons had been given him he ex-
pressed a strong wish for a Sling
shot" His fond mother was rather
astonished at the request, and asked
the young hopeful why he wanted
such a thing. His reply was prompt
and to the point. "At Sunday school,
said he, they told q story Of q little
boy that killed 9 big giant with 9
sling-shot, and I want one"
