terse way of saying that a man who
makes a specially of any one thing knows
more about, and is more proficient in his

Fog Killed in Lap Of Painter Who

Many strange freaks Of lightning
are reported from recent storm,
says a Clayton, n. j., dispatch to the
Philadelphia Record. While man
was painting a sign at Landisville a
frightened dog jumped on his lap. A
streak OF lightning encircled the mans
neck, passed down to the dog and
killed 1t instantly. The sign painter
was blinded for about three minutes,
but felt no other effects OF the light
ming after his sight had returned to
him.
The bolt that struck Walter Keen
made hole through the floor directly
under his foot, but did not make the
slightest mark upon the rug. A win
dow pane, 80 by SO inches, in the Keen
house was taken out by the lightning
and stood up against walnut tree
without cracking the glass. the light
ming having melted the putty and

A tree in North Clayton was struck
by ball which appeared as big as a
barrel and stripped entirely OF its
leaves without otherwise injuring the

house was shaped by the lightning
like an accordion plated skirt. A bolt
of lightning filled Harry Esslers eel
lar with dense smoke, but made no
marks whence IL came or whittier il
