HAILSTORM IN MASSACHUSETTS. 



The most destructive storm that has 

 occurred in ihis section for many years 

 struck Orange, Mass., about 5 o'clock 

 on the afternoon of August 2. Start- 

 ing in with a regular cloudburst ac- 

 companied with wind, thunder and 

 lightning, it soon developed into a 

 downpour of hail, the hail stones as 

 large as horse chestnuts soon covering 

 the ground in an icy white mantle, and 

 the streets were rivers of water in a 

 short time. The hail stones striking 

 the water made a very peculiar dis- 

 play as the water spurted or splashed 

 up, resembling thousands of nature 

 geysers. The lawns are covered with 

 leaves stripped from the trees by the 

 hail and the ground under the fruit 

 trees is covered with small fruit. Corn 

 fields are torn to shreds and in some 

 instances are laid flat. The small 

 amount of damage done to the green- 

 houses of A. Fanieuf and Mrs. M. J. 

 Cochrain is remarkable. Mr. Fanieuf 

 says that only about 100 panes of glass 

 were broken on his cucumber house 

 and Mrs. Cochrain reports only five or 

 six broken with a small number 

 cracked. Trees and chimneys were 

 broken down and flower beds and gar- 

 dens look as though a herd of buffalos 

 had stampeded them. L. Merton Gage 

 writes that fortunately his gladioli 

 were not seriously damaged, although 

 luany that he was seeding were pretty 

 well cut up, and adds that a neighbor 

 of his remarked that he had a new 

 strain of foliage cannas now, which he 

 calls "•shredded-leaf cannas'" and an- 

 other bed of "perforated caladiums."
