DEADLY LIGHTNING
Loss of Life Much Greater Than
Commonly Supposed.
Animals Rush Under Trees and Are
Caught-Men Also Forget 1t Is
Unsafe Under Field Shelter.

lightning has done 6. great deal OF
damage in different parts of the State
this summer. Many people have been
killed by it and many animals have
been killed. People ought to use the
ordinary precaution to protect them
selves from the deadly bolt. 1t is
very foolish to expose yourself to
lightning, when it is so easy to go in
house and out of danger. Some
people think it cowardly to try and
protect yourself from lightning, but
it is not. 1t is just as sensible to
avoid the lightning bolt as it is to
get out of the way of an oncommg
train or anything else that might
hurt you.
In America there is no means for
ascertaining precisely what is the
amount of damage done by lightning.
This much also is certain, that
scarcely a day passes but The news
papers contain accounts of strokes OF
lightning which have proved fatal to
man or beast. In France, Germany
and England complete statictics are
kept of all fatalities with the view
to reducing the number If possible.
TO accomplish this end 1t has been
recommended to attach iron RODS to
the trunk of trees with one end near
the top and the other running into
the ground. Lightning rods are also
recommended for all buildings. The
object is to have the electricity from
the clouds conducted to the earth
without the terrific force of the bolt
jumping from the sky to the eartn
through the air without a conductor.
Cattle and sheep are killed IN the
greatest numbers by lightning. Inc
reason assigned for this is that tney
run for trees as soon as they see a
storm coming. Trees are conductors
of electricity, but are not so good as
the body of an animal or man. Tne
result is that when the current com
ing down the tree and hnds Detter
conductor it leaves the trunk ana
Jumps into the body of the living
creatures under the tree. Men as
we'll as animals have failed to learn
that it is dangerous to be under
tree in electrical storms, as 1t is
evidenced by the number OF tataEl-
ties reported.
According to the lightning rod con-
ference held few years ago IN Lon.
don, the solid rod is the best SORT OF
conductor. Such rod should be IN
one piece and run from the top OF
the tree to the ground. Inc same
should be used on houses The re-
suit would be that whea anlmals
rDn under tree in thunderstorm
they would not be rushing into great
er danger. The rod would also be
protection to men who forget and go
nnder trees in similar storms. Inc
iron rod should oe pointed. Inc
lightning rod is intended to carry
from the earth to the
clouds or from the clouds to the
earth, as the case may be- "ltnout
any disturbances i'll the surroundings
of the rod.

DIES TRYING TO FLY.
Christian Scientist PIunges Four
Stories to Street.
Wife Clings to His Ankle As He
Hangs From the Window Until She
En

Eugene Have, of New York, was
planter and polisher of hardwood
parquet floors, and did well at his
trade up to last May At this time
Howe and his wife, Bertha, moved
their belongings into the top floor of
the four-story and basement brown
stone residence of DR.. Gregory Costi-
gan, at 63 West Sixty Eight street.
At the Central Park, west of the
block on which the Costigan house is
situated is the Second church of
Christ Scientist. Howe dropped in
there to see and hear. The husky
floor planer became deeply interested
in the teaching OF Christian Science.
He tried to interest his wife in the
tracks and books he obtained at the
library of the church.
Mrs. Howe would have none of the
teachings. She says that since her
husband began to read Mary G. Ed
dy's Science and Health" he has
had little time to attend to his trade.
He gave up smoking, changed most
of his habits OF life, and not long
ago decided that eating breakfast
was all a mistake. At 10 o'clock Sat
urday night Howe came home and
chatted for ashort time with DR.. Cos
tigan. The physician says the floor
polisher was perfectly rational.
&o1 ~, Nv
short time Howe went up to his
apartments on the top floor. He un-
dressed and got into bed, taking with
him book ne had bought. 1t was
Science and Health"
Along after midnight Howe, so MS
wife says, began to act in a manner
queer even for him. He finally made
for front window, climbed out on
the sill and announced that he was
going to fly out on the night air.
Mrs. Howe ran to the window and
managed to grasp him by the ankle
lust as he leaped. She held his weight
with all the strength that was IN her
arms. Her arms were badly cut and
bruised by coming in contact With the
sharp edge of the stone window sill.
Finaify-tbe woman's, s,~Strength gave
way, and, wltf-a shrek that aroused
the neighborhood, she fell back into
The room in faint.
Howe's skull was fractured and
his body and legs were torn and
crushed. He died in the hospital
without regaining consciousness.
When he leaped from the window
Howe had carried with him Mrs Ed
dy'S book.
DR.. Costigan is of the opinion that
Howe was suddenly seized with an
insane notion that he could leap from
the window, land on the sidewalk be-
low without injury, and then enter
the house and display himself to the
physician as a converting argument
in favor of Christian Science.
Mrs. Howe says that shortly before
her husband made for the window ne
had told her that DR.. Costigan had
been practically converted to Chris
tian Science and con- templated CIV
ing up his practice.
