The case of a pedestrian who was the other day stripped of all his clothes by lightning without, bdng physically hurt, recalls other curious freaks of the electric fluid. \ A carpenter, for example, had finished work, and was gathering/up his tools during a. storm. There was i a flash and he was knocked down. " When he arose he had "only the"ha'ndlc of a saw in his hand. The Steel - " blade had been demolished, and holes made in the metal parts of other tools he carried, but the man was unhurt. , -\ T? i In another case a wooden house was almost torn to pieces, the nails which held it together having. M neatly drawn from the woodwork. In a house struck by lightning in another storm,./*# bed-quilt was set on fire, but nothing else was harmed.
