truthfully attest huge trees were tossed from their deep rooted resting places as readily as a gardener would pull radish radiah from tha tile sandy earth fences nud aad even fence posts were scattered in all directions as if they were chips and buildings of offered flared no more resistance gance lance than a clapboard to a forty horse power enaire the moving mass of ruin is represented by all who wiio saw it to have been a vapory substance tince tinee it was not accompanied by any wind or storm but seemed an agency traveling on its own account at a speed of perhaps a mild mile a

phenomenon seem to demand a scientific investigation as to its cause and peculiar effect what agency could produce such results except electricity we are u unable a to comprehend and aud yet the tha strange proofs of destruct destruction tion exhibited cannot well ba explained on any popular theory connected with his wonderful agency tile the trees are still green in the leaf and arid healthful in the bud and neither wood or metallic mel allic substances with which the element came in contact bear the eligh teat mark of heat or the thi usual marked effiec ts of atmospheric electrical contact as a destroying power but we nie have no solution of our own that is at all satisfactory to ourselves even much less to give ha the reader the tha subject is one worthy of isi ssi stion tiou tion and
