BOCK ISLAND. Dunes SOME OF ITS CUEER FREAKS IN PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO. A Lancaster Man Kan Across Some Expert- , enees In the Bnckeje State Thai Beat Anything Be Bad Seen at Home Havoo Among the Sheep In Big OH Valley. I was once driving over the Martic hills. In the lower part of this county, with my wife and baby, flying from a thunderstorm that was coming up rapidly in the valley, but I only did not escape from the storm, but ran right into another one equally heavy on the very summit of the ridge. When the two storms traveling in opposite directions met directly over our heads, streaks and balls of firs began playing around like the spitting and exploding off shoots of a miscellaneous collection of Fourth of July pyrotechnics. Lightning danced and flashed on every bit of metal there was in my horse's harness, whirled around with the tires on all four v-heels and ran about and sigragged everywhere bout the buggy frame, until w were lit erally sitting In a fiery ebarfc drawn by a bone incased in flaming harness. Neither myself, my wife nor child suffered the slightest physical injury or inconven ience .from that- awful play of eMctrtdty about us, and the bone seemed to be im proved by It, but the nervous strain on us all was terrible. That extraordinary elec trical disturbance lasted at least a quarter of an bonr. WelL I thought that a little the queerest sort of an experience with lightning that any one ever had or was likely to have, but I have just come back from a visit to Ohio, and I want to say that that experience of mino might have been the boss queer one up to this summer, but it isn't any more. I ran across some others in Ohio that can beat it. Take the one, for instance, at Bailyville. I got to Bailyville at about noon one day. A thunderstorm had just passed over that locality, and the clouds had nearly all broken away or rolled to the southward. The sun had come out and all uneasiness on account of the storm had passed away for thunderstorms in that region are nearly al ways attended by more or less damage when the most terriOc thunderclap ever heard there or elsewhere, so close to the earth that the earth trembled as if from an earthquake, and preceded not more than a second by a flash of lightning of Minding sharpness, broke from the cloudless noonday sky. The sudden appearance and terrible nature of the startling phenomenon par alyzed the farming community with alarm, and it was several minutes before any one ventu' 1 orth to see what damage had been (lone by the thunderbolt. 1 C ! . ; 1. ! ooiue very amazing tilings were aiscov ered. In a field on the edgo of the village a large flock of sheep were pasturing. The sheep had all huddled together as sheep will during a thunderstorm, and were still huddled when the surprising clap came. When the owner of the sheep went to the field to see if anything had befallen his flock, he found every sheep standing just as they had huddled in the storm, but out of the 40 in the flock 18 were dead. Not one of the dead sheep had fallen to the ground. That was strange enough, but the 18 dead sheep were black sheep, all the oth ers In-ing white and unhurt. Each dead sheep had a hole in the back of its neck around which the wool was burned away. On a farm a short distance from the vil lage a big flock of sheep had gathered in a circular bunch during the storm, and every outside sheep was killed, 20 in all, and all white fleeced. On that same farm, but in another field, was a small flock of sheep, all white except one, which was a big black ram. The ewes all huddled about the ram while the storm raged, and when the thun derclap came the ram was killed, no harm befalling one of the other sheep. More than that, the ram's fleece had been turned by the shock as white as that of any other sheep in the flock. That was all the dam age that was reported during the hour I was in Bailyville, but it was enough to con vince nie that Ohio lightning knew a few tricks that Pennsylvania lightning hadn't learned yet. My friend Simon Frey lives at Big Oil Valley with his wife and 7-weeks-old baby. One day Simon was hurrying home from tho valley trying to get there before a big thunderstorm that was coming up caught him. The rain began falling before he got there, and was coming down for cer tain when he drove into his barn. Simon stood in the barn door waiting for the rain to slack up, when his house was struck by lightning. It seemed to hit both chimneys at ouce, and a streak of fire ran from one chimney along the peak of the roof, and midway between the two chimneys it met another streak of fire that was flashing along the peak from the other chimney, or, rather, where the chimney hiul been, for both chimneys had been knocked into brick dust by the lightning. 'When the two fiery currents met in the center of the ridge pole, there was an explosion like the discharge of a cannon, and a fountain of bluish flame, that threw off snapping and zigzagging sparks and jets of fire, shot up into the air at least 10 feet. Then all was over, the whole exhibition lasting not more than three seconds. Simon was only three rods away from the house, but felt not the slightest effects of the terrible Bhock. He ran to the house. not knowing what horrifying sight might await him there, as it seemed impossible that his wife and baby could have escaped death beneath that terrible electrical bom bardment. But they had, and after the first shock of his fright was over Simon couldn't do anything else but lie down and almost burst with laughter, the lightning bad brought about so ludicrous a situation in the house. Mrs. Frey was sitting on the kitchen table, ber head resting against the wall, in one hand she held a rolling pin. while the other was buried to the wrist in a roll of dough. She was covered with flour from - head to foot. Tbe baby lav in a basket of newly washed clothes in afar corner of tbe kitchen, yelling at the top of its lungs, xne baby's cradle was turned upside down in tbe center of the room. Aside from a severe nausea that troubled Mrs. Frey all the rest of the day, neither she nor the baby suffered any ill effects from their extraordinary experience. Lan caster (Pa.) Letter in New York Sun. A Bit of Realistic Acting. Henry living's story of Charlotte Cuah man gives you a better idea of the methods and style of this great artist than a dozen impersonal and well padded essays would. She was acting Meg Merrilies. In one scene in answer to her appeal for money. he, personating an important character in the piece, hands her his purse filled with the broken crockery which is generally used for stage gold. One day Miss Cushman suggested gently to him tbe superior real ism of opening the purse, selecting a coin and giving it to ber. o matter how mag nificent it might look it was hardly nat ural for s gentleman to hand over a purse full of money to a crazy beggar.

Telling the story of the birth of American freedom by living illustra tions is one of the ways in which the 'Scenes and Battle" of 1777 the American Revolution,'" as given by the Adam Forcpaugh shows this year, are described.
