LIGHTNING RODS OUSTED, ~~
A Connecticut Agent Says the Barbed Wiré
Fence Has Done the Trick.
An Ansonia lightning rod agent has
returned from Bunker Hill, a little
hamlet several miles up the Naugatuck
valley, in a most dejected mood, He
had heard of a recent thunderstorm up
there where considerable damage had
been done by lightning, and priming
himself with the alleged facts he drove
off with his wagon loaded with rods,
copper tips, insulators, ladders, etc., expecting to find business brisk. He found
pt the first place where he stopped that
it was going to be a bad year for business in that section, because at nearly
every house there were barbed wire.
fences, and the last storm had proved
that there were no better conductors.of
electricity that a barbed wire fence.
The storm the agent heard of came up
suddenly one evening, and its antics
’ convinced him that he had better get
-out of the lightning red business and go
into the wire fence trade. The very first
flash of lightning struck a tree at the
southwest corner of the house occupied
by Mrs. Willard Woodruff and her sonin-law, J. A. Hitchcock. The force of the
concussion threw: Mr. Hitchcock from
his chair across the room and up against
a sideboard, The bolt struck the tree
about 20 feet from the ground and on
the side toward the house, but a greater
attraction was across the street, and the
lightning went for it with considerable
eagerness. It ricochetted over the intervening space, gouging big holes in the
ground at intervals of several feet and
throwing stones weighing several pounds
about as though it were trying to drive
chickens out of the flower bed. Its last
leap was over a space of 20 feet, where
it found what it was after.
As the electric ball struck the barbed
wire fence it divided into two parts.
One went north on the top wire and the
other south on the lower wire. The
north bound ball followed the wire for
100 feet to an open gate, splitting all
the posts. Then it jumped to the roadway, tearing up the earth at every
bound until it covered the gap made by
It jumped back to the top
‘wire for 200. feet more to. the end of the
section, throwing the last post flat on
the ground and pitching into the earth,
‘ where it cut a V shaped hole threo feet
wide at the widest part.
After the shock those in the Woodruff
house began to look about them. --They.
found every pane of glass in the south
side of the house but two broken. Every
piece of crockery in the pantry had been
displaced, some of it toppling off the
shelves to the floor, but very little of it
was broken. They believe, and so do
their neighbors, that the barbed wire
fence was their salvation, and if the
electric bolt had not been drawn across
the street the house would have been
torn down.
' The Ansonia lightning rod agent said
he was forced to believe the same thing,
for it was an awful bolt.—Ansonia
(Conn.) Dispatch.
WORSE THAN TIP.
Bolivar’s Keeper Says He Is Nearly Twiee
as Big and Much More Vicious.
The recent execution of the elephant
Tip by poison in Central park, New
York, caused the big crowd which visited the ‘‘zoo’’ yesterday to view with
more -than ordinary interest the three
huge elephants confined there. Few
among the spectators knew, however,
that in the enormous. Bolivar they saw
an-animal said by experts to be more
ferocious than Tip ever was. Bolivar
seemed to be in a particularly ugly
mood and swayed his, great body from’
side to side, straining constantly at the
heavy chains which fettered him. Head
Keeper Manly said:
**T think the killing of Tinwns @ very
queer action. Of course he was ugly
and would do all the damage he could
at times, but most male elephants will
do that, I think it is safe to say that
Tip was never in the same class with
Bolivar as a terror, but-we would not
think of killing the.old fellow any more
than we would of killing an angry lion
or tiger. The people want to see wild
animals, and the men who handle them
should know their moods well enongh
to keep out of their way when they are
dangerous.
‘*Bolivar has a most unenviable record, and he would probably not be here
now if he had not got so vicious that
he could not be handled by the circus
men while traveling. He has, I think,
killed three men outright and has injured many more. He weighs over seven
tons and is nearly twice as largo and
powerful as Tip was. He is a terror
when once started.
‘‘He once nearly ended the life of
young Adam Forepaugh. Bolivar had
knocked him down and was. freparing
to crush his life out when Fred Johnson, his keeper, drove the big beast
away. But here his disposition has improved, and we do not have any trouble
with him, Keeper Harrison knows his
disposition and simply treats him kindly. We are mighty careful, however,
not to give the old fellow any chances
to do harm, and he is never freed from
his chain.’’—-Philadelphia Record.

_. Repairing the Cable. _
The cable ship Minia has started from
Queenstown on the difficult enterprise of
repairing one of the Anglo company’s
defective cables in 2,800 fathoms of water in the mid-Atlantic. The cable will
have to be overhauled for several hundred miles, the defective sections cut
out and new lengths spliced in.
Minia took 500 miles of new cable,
of which is expected to be used, Some
people believe an entirely new cable
would be found cheaper in the end,
