Lightning Doesn't Strike in Sleep.
Doctor Brewer should have advised
those who are nervous in thunder

that lightning will not kill anyone
who is asleep.
The folk lore Of lightning is ex-
tensive and peculiar. According to
one school, the splinters of tree
struck by lightning are an infallible
specific for the toothache. But the
most pleasing superstition is that
