ERASED BY LIGHTNING.
To the many uses that electricity is put we will soon he able to add that of an ink-eraser—provided the following story be true. .Some time ago a certain building was struck by lightning and destroyed. Little special notice would have been taken of the occurence had it not been that a number of documents were stored in an adjoining house. The safety of these was of some importance and they were hastily removed. But to the general surprise, it was found that the electric fluid had somehow or other affected the ink with which they were written so as to render each one perfectly illegible. Fortunately it happened to be possible to procure copies, so that no lasting damage was done by the lightning's strange freak.
