BOLT BREAKS BED
!. AS COUPLE SLEEP

Narrow to the limit was the escape
| from death of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman
| e. Schultz in Portage wnen light
ming bolt tore into their home during
Saturday mornings storm and gave
them both a severe shock. Mr..
Schultz was stunned into insensibility
for few moments. The house did
not take fire.
The couple were sleeping in bed
room on the second floor when about
O'Clock, during the second installment
of the severe electrical storm, as the
rain descended in tC rrents and one
lurid flash close after another illu-
mined the sky, with the booming and
crashing accompaniment OF thunder,
lightning struck the roof of the dwell
ing. The bolt followed down the side
wall of the house, smashed to pieces
the sash of window near their bed,
scattered broken glass over them,
broke the iron bedstead, burned out
phone and electric light wires In tnc
room, heated a register in the floor so
that it was nearly red, and then divtd
down to the ground. Smoke filled the
house.
In threatening predicamenti indeed,
Mrs. Schultz found herself as she
rallied from the shock of the lightning
Her husband lay motionless, perhaps
dead. Indications were the house
was on fire. She attempted to rouse
Mr.. Schultz and soon he regained his
senses, apparently none the worse for
the stroke. Evidently the iron bed
stead, attracting the current, had
saved them from death.-Portage

for the decapitated Charles j. Then
came the Klt-Kat club, which, accord
Ing to Addison, took Its name from q
mutton pie. One Christopher Kat, Il

and his productions were called Kit

Tho PuzzIina Red Eyed vireo.

The bird traveller that gives the nat
uralist the hardest transportation prob
lem to solve Is the red eyed yireo 1t
winters in Central America aud ap-
pears each spring at the mouth Of the
Mississippi, travelling twenty miles a
day. At this leisurely rate it proceeds
for six weeks, all the way up to the
latitude of northern Nebraska. Then
suddenly, In the space Of twenty -four
hours and before q single red eyed
yireo has been seen anywhere in the
region between, numbers of the birds
appear in British Columbia, thousand
miles to the northwest. This puzzling
performance Is repeated every year.
Unless the red eyed vreo flies a thou
sand miles in single night how does
1t manage this bewlderlng schedule?
Nobody knows; but, then, nobody
knows either where the chimney swift
goes for five months out of every year.
