The Antics Of Lightning
Hamilton.—William Alderson,
Carlisle, was one of several” persons
in this district, who will remember
the recent display of lightning Which
played a series of strange pranks.
•A bolt struck the Alderson home,
entering by the chimney and shat
tering a brick wall, then circled .the
home after ripping a hole several
feet wide, The eaves and walls were
scorched. Inside, as Mr. Alderson
was sitting with his wife, the bolt
ripped the plaster from the, wall .be

,romped away across the lawn to no

production would also be. high.
■“Platinum', is a by-product of
nickel production,” he explained.
“There is approximately one ounce
troy of -platinum in each 20 tons of
copperlnick el ore * from the Frood
,miiie and the, efficiency of modern
milling and ' refining methods now
makes practical the collection of the
minute particles of platinum . pres

ounces or'slightly more, than double
the production during the last 12
months. For 193-3, it was 55,755
ounces but the remarkable increase
in copper nickel ore mined in the
Sudbury basin brought the total ov
er 200,000 ounces for last year.
"Canada is now,.producing on a
