MOST SEVEIIE LIGHTNING OF THE
SEASON.
LIGHTS AND 'PHONES AFFECTED
Vivid Imitation of the Ilattle of Mao
Yang by the Force * of the Air Many
Sparrow * Killed by the Electric
A bombardment of the heavens un
equalled In a season of strenuous
thunderstorms took place last night ,
In graphic imitation of the battle of
Llao Yang , the contending ; forces of
the air , charged , retreated and charged
again repeatedly during the short
time It lasted and the hurling of the
thunderbolts was vivid and constant.
At times the heavens were split by
a thousand zigzagging streaks of light
and again they were concentrated In
one great stream of blinding bril
liancy. The thunder varied from the
sharp crack of a pistol to the deep
detonation of a thlrteen-lnch cannon.
The storm came up from the south
west and proceeded northeast , after
ward returning.
The damage from the lively electric
disturbance appears to have been more
serious to the electric light people'and
the telephone exchange than to any
other Interest. Soon after the storm
commenced the lights were retired
from business , and this morning the
telephones refused to work , many of
the local instruments being useless
nnd Battle Creek and other towns
were cut off from communication by
direct means , but many of the towns
were available over circuitous routes.
The damage will be easily repaired
and everything will be In working or
der shortly. The electric light people
were busy this morning making re-
hulred repairs. The telegraph lines
appear to have been unaffected by the
storm.
There were undoubtedly houses
struck , but no reports of serious dam
age have been received. At the home
of H. L. McCormlck at the corner of
Madison avenue and Ninth street an
Interesting display of electricity was
noticed In some of the rooms nnd the
occupants were startled but not in
jured and no damage appears to have
been done the house. This appears to
be a favorite locality for the landing
of electric bolts this season. The
house of Fred Langenburg was struck
by a bolt early in the season , then
ater on the spite of the Episcopal
church was splintered nnd damaged ,
and last night the McCormlck home
on the other corner was visited.
A peculiar result of the storm was
he killing of numerous sparrows that
were roosting in some of the tall
trees. The ground and walks under
he trees at the corner of Norfolk av
enue and Sixth street was quite liber
ally sprinkled with the bodies of the
tttle victims.
The rainfall was less than an Inch ,
: > elng not nearly as heavy as during
other storms of the season. The low
barometer and the forecast , however ,
give promise of more.

"Tho illseaso Is not a germ com-
liilnt , " ho said. "It Is caused by the
hemlcal action of certain kinds of
lollon. In Kuropo rye prass makoa
ho most trouble. Huro In the United
Hates the daiiKerous plants are Kold-
nrod and raKweed. Indian corn la
Iso daiiKerous , though not to so great
i decree.
"At llrwt scientists thought that all
lie.se pollens carried minute barbs ,
> vhlch sot up a local Irritation. But
found that while this Is true of the
Koldenrod , for example. It Is not trua
f Indian corn , which Klves off per-
ectly smooth pollens. So by a tedl-
iUH process of elimination and analy-
Is I located an albumen.
Take rye Brass , for example. An
inalysls of one grain of Its pollen
shows , water , 10.2 per cent ; Inorganic
matter , 3.1 per cent ; organic matter
8r .4 per cent. This organic matter
ontalns 3 per cent of fata. 25 per
ent of carbohydrates , IS per cent of
nitrogenous non-nlhumenous substan *
and 40 per cent of poisonous al
bumens.
"With these poisonous albumens I
completed my experiments. A solu-
lon of the substance dropped Into thu
eye of a person subject to hay fever

time of the year. There Is enough of
t In one grain of rye grass pollen to
nfect 4,800,000 buy fever patients.
"The wind carries the pollen widely.
Kindreds of miles In fact. That Is
the reason why It Is epidemic In the
city as well as In the country Just
now. When the steamer was nearly
live hundred miles from the land this
trip I caught a slight attack from an
off-shore breeze.
"Only certain persons are subject ,
and they are mostly brain workers.
There Is some nervous connection , not
yet fully understood , between brain
fatigue and the weakening mem
branes which hay fever attacks.
Americans especially are subject to It.
owing to the high pressure of Ameri
can life , I suppose. Old cases of In *
tluenza sometimes cause a predispo
sition to the disease. Susceptibility to
hay fever also Is hereditary.
"My remedy Is a toxin prepared
like other toxlna , by Injecting1 poisonous -
ous matter Into horses. In this part
of my work I found a curious thing.
Only 10 cent of
per the horses we
tried are sound and those sensitive
horses were all thoroughbreds. A
horse has to receive steady Injections
for ten months before Its condition
will yield the proper strength of se
rum. If this serum Is mixed with
albumenous poUon and put Into the
eye of the person subject to the dis
ease there wilt be
no hay fever reac
tion at all. "
