STRANGE LIGHTNING FREAK

A farmer in Lincolnshire, Eng, who
some time ago, lost a hand and now
wear a steel hook on his arm in it's
place, was caught recently in a severe
storm. A terrific flash Of lightning
rendered him unconscious, and on
coming to he felt sever pain in his
manned arm. Looking down, he saw
that the hook had been Strengthened
out and twisted, his coat sleeve and
the leather sheath (Which is fitted to
the handless arm and to which the
hook is fixed) were torn to ribbons.
and the stump of the arm itself was
severely injured. He was otherwise
uninjured, but the arm is now com
pIeted paralyzed.

cow GUARDS DYING WOMAN

Guarded by the family COW as
death came slowly from s~elf-destruc-
ton, Mrs. L. A. Lambert, aged SO
years., was found unconscious in a
field near her home, about two miles
from Windber, Pa.
Beside her were a bromo choral
bottle and a carbolic acid bottle,
both empty. She died in a short
time. Melancholia, due to illness, is
given as the cause of the suicide.
Her only child, Irwin, aged 16, no.
ticed that morning that the cow had
not come to the barn for milking, and
he started to find the animal. He
found the COW standing beside the
body of his mother, who had slipped
from the house during the night.

Still another use for automobiles.
The town OF Jamaica, l. L., had an
unpleasant time when a main burst
and the water supply was shut off
completely. To say nothing of the an
noyance, Inconvenience and danger in
private dwellings,. the orphan asylum
and other institutions we're subjected
to especially distressing experiences.
To meet at least partially the demand
an automobile service was organized,
the machines going with tanks, bar
reIs and other receptacles to points
where water could be obtained and
bringing it to those in Nee This was
at best but a poor substitute for the
regular system, yet it proved that in
time of stress the auto is a valuable
auxiliary.

Germans usually do things thor
oughly. and the announcement that
there is no cholera in Berlin, although
the disease has broken out in the vi
cinity, no doubt testifes to the eff
~fectiveness of the safeguards en-
ployed. Modern medical science is
usually victorious over the ailments
once regarded as scourges. against
which it was almost useless to con-
tend. Yellow fever, cholera and the
like are no longer the terror they
were formerly.
