MICHIGAN VISITS NEW YORK
New Fighter Is Seen on staten Island
for the First Time

From the New York Evening Sun.
The battleship Michigan, characterized
as the strongest vessel in the navy out
side of the new dreadnoughts. is in New
York harbor for the first time. The big
warship doomed up grimly at anchorage
off Staten Island and was soon expected
to go up to the navy yard, where she will
go into dock to prepare for speed trial Is
on the Rockland course.
Coming from what is technically re-
ferred to as ''shakedown cruise" from
Hampton Roads to Guantanamo, the YES
sells machinery is now considered to be
in practical shape for the trial. While
at Guantanamo the Michigan had a
chance to use her big guns in the target
practice. This battleship is the first of
what is known as the big gum type to
be seen here. She has eight Pinch guns.
The Michigan is vessel of 5000 tons
and was launched at the yard of the
New York Shipbuilding company. at
Camden, N j., in May 1908. Miss Carol
H. Newberry, was the assistant secretary
of the navy, named the ship.
At the time of the launching Admiral
W. l.. Caps, chief naval constructor,
said: "She is really as strong as the
Dreadnought, and foreigners say-what
1T rioes not become VA to say-she is
stronger than the Dreadnought.p
The Michigan did not go into commits
sion until November of last year. She
is commanded by Capt. N. r. Usher, who
was connected with the bureau of navi-
cation.
Smart things are looked for from the
Michigan on her speed tests off the Maine
coast.
Besides her advantages of armament.
the Michigan is one of the best speeders
of the battleship squadron.

resemblance of man, a mere carbonized
coallike hideous mass, and when he was
touched fell to ashes. The story is not
unique Even the ancients tell of peo-
pie who were struck to dust. At Aisne
in 1888 three soldiers were under a tree.
They remained standing as II alise Their
clothes seemed intact. After the storm.
when touched, they fell, uniforms and
ALL pulverzed into a heap Of ashes. An
instance is the mystic disappearance of
Romulus wrapped in a sheet of lightning.
DR.. Galter, good man, was struck on the
head by lightning, and his hair and whis-
kers were singed off never to grow or
blow again. His head swelled up until
II measured over yard around-some
said yard and a half-and he came
pretty near dying. In Nice in 1903 Nine
Blanc was struck and stripped stark
naked. Her body was uninjured, but
she was dumb ever afterward
Fireballs of globular lightnings are the
most mysterious of all nature, and for
long 1t was doubted by science II there
was any such things. But their reality
is now beyond question. Ball or meteoric
lightning is sometimes seen jumping from
cloud to cloud sometimes rolling. bounce
ing and skipping upon the ground. In
October. 1885, in Constantinople, a globe
of fire the size of an orange came spin
ming. bouncing through an open window
and began playing around the gas jet
Then jumping up and down on the din
ner table, 1t danced about the heads of
the guests like Pentecosta fire. Finally
II flew into the street and exploded with
an appalling crash.
In 1865 after an awful thunder clash. a
young man saw an immense ball Of fire
fall at his feet. 1t did no damage to
him. and then passed harmlessly through
n nearby house. in which were unhurt
nine people. and there only lit box OF
matches. II then took its way to near
by barn and killed six cows. Lightning

ones, and again 1t may kill only black
ones. 1t may strike a spotted COW, and
show only on the spot. OF our trees the
oak Is the most stricken, the maple least.
A tree is not burst and exploded by the
steam from the sap. as some news stories
say, but by explosion of compressed
air. for an old dry dead tree will also
explode.
An instance is noted of recent years
where a young man was sitting on the
side of a bed in a room where a tele-
phone was situated and lightning flash
played on the TELEPHONE wires and sud-
denly stripped the banjo of all its strings
without injuring the player.
Lightning has struck, plucked feathers
from the insides out of chickens and
better than some cooks, roasted them to a
proper turn for the table. 1t has roast
ed apples on the tree and corn on the
stalk, and has struck goober and potato
vines. and cooked the COOLERS and tu-
bcrs in the very ground. and ''They were
eaten and partaken of and pronounced

Pliney said that thunder is rarely heard
in winter and that the great fertility of
the soil is due to the frequency of thun-
der rain in spring. Science has discovered
the cause of the nourishment in rain
water to the presence of great quantities
of nitrogen and ammonia in the thunder
rain and in hail.
Although there is hidden law under
meath, each lightning flash is as freakish
and oapricio,is as cynics say of women
Some of the incredible actions of light
ming read like the mysterious dreams
of Poe. Superstitious savants still seem
to endow it with a kind of intelligence,
an intelligence that seems midway be-
tween the rough, lumpish. intelligence
of the universe and the discriminating
intelligence of animals. Keen, caprcous.
malicious or stupid, far-seeing or blind.
