The fatality from lightning is
greater than is popularly supposed.
The statistics show that more than 200
persons annually perish from sthis
cause in Absence, while in France
and Germany itbe number of deaths
is . abeam four in<everymillion of •the
population. While a lightning -stroke
in a tent is seldom heard of, the clan-
ger front•a passing. electric storm• is
particularly great in a camp pitched
on high ground. This danger isfurther
enhanced by proximity to a tree,: es-
pecially if it • is on the edge of a forest.
Of all trees the oak is oftenest struck
by lightning.

conscious to him.

TIik SToitnc.-:1n day witnessed
os:
�t of the worst electrical storms s •lin
t nr that
has visited this section in years. The
accompanying rain was equally heavy.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon, it
grew so dark that lamps had to be em-
ployed indoors. Rain fell in torrents
and in a few moments filled every
gutter in Exeter with water, while i11
,the country, fields of grain were flood -
.ed. It was like a veritable cloud
bast, the weight breaking luanytrees.
The lightning was vivid and close auto
struck many places in Exeter and sur-
rounding country and gave electrical
shocks to scores of citizens. The resi-
dence of \\'lu. Snell, William street,
was struck. The bolt entereclthe chim-
neyandpassed down through alehouse,
but besides giving Mrs. Snell a scare,
did no damage. The barn of Jaynes
Dennis, town, was also struck but not
burned. A driving shed on t]tt' farm
of John Hawkins, London road north,
was burned by lightning. It contained
about 15 tons of Hay, and several far-
ming. implements, the loss being
about $•150, with no insurance. Had
there not been aheavy rain at the time
and strong efforts of the neighbors,
Mr. Hawkins' fine barns, containing
a large quantity of grain, would have
been destroyed. Mr. Hawkins carried
no insurance and therefore his loss
would have been serious.

To Advertisers.
The benefit derived from. an adver-
tisement depends altogether upon the
number of persons who read it. To
reach the greatest number of readers
at the least possible expense, is a
question that should be ecnsiderecl
very catrefally by business Igen. A
thousand small bills printed in Tor -
on o or London, s
Tor-
onto and distributed in
this section, would be just as effective
as if the bill had been printed in town -
There is not a doubt about that but if
you want to reach the people in their
homes, newspaper advertising is the
only successful way. To get the best
results use the paper with. the largest
circulation, and thegreatest amount of
local news. Circulation is the proper
basis upon which prices should be fixed. 1
If a newspaper with a circulation of r,)
-,1
1
tcharges 10
) per year,
t
len one *.
with a.circulation of600 would be entitl-
ed to $30. An advertiser should take
these facts into careful consideration,
when making contracts. Another fre-
quent loss to advertisers is in the use
of several papers when one covers the
ground. 'Tins TIMR4 is read by .lore
people in Exeter, Usborne, Stephen,
Hay, the northern part of T3icicluiph.
and McGillivray than all other county -
papers combined, and an advertise-
ment placed in it ill
gbe found the
most effectual way in .which to reach
the people.
