bolt last night found it's way into the
cupola and followed the chain toward
the ground, jumping from its terminus
to a water pipe nearby. Every link OF
the chain Is welded to the adjoining
one and SO securely was the Job done
that one could hold several feet OF the
chain straight out without any OF the
connections breaking. It is impossible
to estimate the number of volts that
must have passed through the chain
to do the welding so rapidly. Despite
the great heat that was generated the
hay didn't take fire. The family driv-
ing horse in stall nearby, however,
was made totally deaf from the thun'
der clap that followed the bolt.
