would like little information on the
striking of lightning. l have understood
or read in your paper that when build
ing is destroyed by lightning, the electric
ity that causes the destruction comes
from within the building, and not from
the cloud, as it appears to the eye. The
real destruction is caused by an explosion
from the passage of the electricity stored
in the building to the atmosphere or
cloud. Am right in this matter? A.
When an electrified cloud comes over a
place, it draws an equal charge of the
opposite kind of electricity up into the
surface of the earth, the houses, tree
tops, etc. If the cloud is positively
charged, the earth underneath has an
equal negative charge. A flash of light
ming is the combination and mingling OF
these two charges. In this way, the
damage results to the objects in the line

Tries To Enter House.

Late last Sunday night Mr.. Theodore
Stoner was annoyed for some time by an
unusual noise about his home on East
street, but thought perhaps dog was
causing the noise. Finally he came to
the conclusion that someone was trying
to gain entrance to the house by way of
the kitchen window. On going to the
kitchen he discovered man partly thro
the window. Asking the intruder what
he wanted, he replied matches. and
the voice was recognized as that of Dave
Wilhide. Mr.. Stoner gave him matches
and good lecture, and Dave went away.

Buggies Go Together.

Monday evening of this week an acct
lent occurred on Water street, this place,
resulting in the injury of one lady and
giving several others bad scare.
Mr.. John Ambrose, driving south in
stick buggy, came in contact with a
ouggy occupied by two ladies and little
child, one of the ladies being Miss Mary
Clabaugh, of near Jimtown, and the other
1er aunt, Miss Pauline Steig, of York,
Pa. The coming together of the buggies
caused the shafts on Miss Clabaugh's
buggy to break. Miss Steig was driving
and held to the lines and was pulled out
o. the vehicle, landing on her head. Miss
Clabaugh and the child were thrown part
ly out of the buggy but were not injured.
Miss Steig's head was cut, her injuries
being dressed by DR.. E. c. Kefauver.
The ladies together with Mrs. Joseph
Clabaugh and her mother, who were fol-
lowing in another buggy, were returning

"Afraid To Go Home In
The DARK"

1t is perfectly apparent that the
genial editor of the Valley Register
don't go away from his home very
often, being one of the very busiest
of country editors.
Slyly stealing away to take plunge
in the Atlantic on Sunday amt no
sin, but the following editorial APP
pearing in last weeks issue, is very
suggestive of fear in dark places.
"Frederck citizens are complaining of
the poor street lighting there. We don't
blame. Middletown's streets are better
lighted than the residence sectors OF
Frederick. Middletown people who were
dumped out of the Atlantic City cxcur-
sion train one block from the station in
Frederick last Sunday night, could hard
ly find their way along the dark street.
One hundred candle power lights, distrib-
nted 200 feet apart, as in Middletown,
would illuminate Frederick's streets far
better and cheaper than the present out
of-date arc lights do. Middletown has
no dark spots. Frederick has plenty OF
them under its present system
Now it is a blessed good thing that
Frederick is the landing spot of these
excursionists even though Frederick
is accused of having poorly lighted
streets, for if Thurmont would be en-
countered after nightfall, and fair
Luna should be shedding her silver
beams on some other portion of the
earth, dark indeed would they find
ALL the streets of Thurmont, with
no light spots" for we are not as
fortunate as our sister town in hav-
ing dependable 24-hour electric SER
vice. We have assurances though
that we shall not be forever thus.
Middletown is undoubtedly the best
lighted town of its size in Maryland,
and that is something to be proud OF.
She has been wise enough to make a
good electric contract at such reason
able rates, that precludes the neces-
sity of ever considering a plant of her
own.

A Warning.

The fact that the streets Of the town
are now not being lighted, and sew
eral accidents having occurred by
reason OF no lights, should serve as a
warning to the Mayor and Commits
sioners that suit for damages is like
ly to be brought against the town at
any time. This is not the time to put
off action for more electric current,
and take Micawber" like stand
