Thunder Storms and Lightning Reds. 



St. Miu-lin"» church (Lonckui) was struck by 

 lightning on the 28ih of .hdy, 1842. The gpi;^ 

 is a light hollow slruclure, forty tc;et bifrb, stand- 

 ing on an OfM^i cupoki, and surrounded by orna- 

 raentid columns and arches. The floor of this 

 cupola is covered with lead, and there i."* a mas- 

 sive Iramewofk of wood and iron resting on it ; 

 the spire teriisinaies in an iron rod iiirmed into a 

 spindle at its eitrense point for the support of 

 [the vane, four to fire inclies square and twenty 

 seven feet long; its e.xtreiK« point being aboiil 

 two btuidred fes-t froiMtlN; gro+nid. f?en<,jith the* 

 cupola is the dial room, containing the iron spin- 

 dles of the clock faces, nnd tl.>ese are eonitected 

 by an upright ?t.>hidte w ith (he clock itself, whieb 

 is sn af«trrni?n! forty -^ix feel beJow. L'r.der thf? 

 dial room are tbe beli,«, and hensalb the clock 

 Foomis tbe .'iuger's cbandwr, <■« a level with the 

 roof o-f tli« chtireb itself. 



Tbe first point struck wrts Ihe vane-spindh;, 

 and lbs electric discharge pass^'d inio tlVe spin; 

 by tire long iron rod !drea<ly descrilied, and so far 

 as this rod continued no (htui.'jge was iton-e to the- 

 bui'kbiig, but at the bot!t>m of the rod tltere e.^ist- 

 sd HO metallic conductor lo earry the fluid furth- 

 er, and it had to force >ts way.tlnoiigb the masoa- 

 ry, .staiting an angle stoite, and thence down- 

 ward, and «) sbatf erod the sfiire as lo leave il ii> 

 a tottering state. Two blocks of stone were 

 vbrovvn completely out of their places, and felJ 

 j ihroirgb tbe roof" into the cburcb;. the joints ol' 

 j tl.-e spire were all loosened and its general sup- 

 fa-ce contorted. Two otl>er stones were disloca- 

 ted, and if these also bad lieen tbrnvTU oi.'t, tbe 

 whole of tl'ic upper portion of the spire iniisE 

 ba?8 faflen. Arrived at the door of tbe cupola, 

 tl>e di3cl>arg-e foiced a passage into a nuilal clam|> 

 whthin llie niasoiriT, wliere it !nrot>p and fractur- 

 ed » hwge stoive and I i>rnef} it coni-pk^tsly over. 

 Thus it eante 10 the diTils, itt » point ioteruiediate- 

 between the north nr,i\ west dials, where it divi- 

 (/(.'rf and fed tuion the gfiM riMt-crs xi and xri. 

 which, es|>eciaMy on the west dial, it ImurI U|>

 lop of 3ba upright spni(.-te, akvng whirl.'- it desceii- 

 [ (led forty-.His feet doutrwartis with perfect safely 

 to the clock. On re.tch'mg tin? works o-f th& 

 clock, the discharge tiieUed a smidl copper wire, 

 by which Ibe lever handle key was suspendei) 

 oil tbe iron iV.-sme, and spread over tbe wheels 

 and other parts, inagnetized the steel pivots, 

 blackened the silver iiice of the regulator, and 

 burst open the door of the outer wooden casing, 

 but did not stop the clock 1 Here once more tbe 

 metallic conductor ceased, and lire discharge had 

 to force a passage through llie floor of the clock 

 room, leaving it as if blown uj) by gunpowder, 

 and coming out just over one of the iron window 

 frames in the ringer'.-' room, shattered all the glass, 

 and left mariis of fusion 011 small streaks of lead 

 in the joints of the stones. By this course, it 

 reached the lead of the roof, and tbrough the 

 pipes connested with tbe roof was carried into 

 ihe ground v\ithout further danuge, 



Mr. SiKuv Harnp, from whost; work oi> Thun- 

 der Storms, this account is taken, remarks that 

 it is impossible to conceive a case giving a better 

 insight into the nature of disrujUive ilLscbarges, 

 through a fortuitous arrangement of good and 

 imperfect conductors, tliau this before us. All 

 the dam.'tge occurrf;d in points where good coii- 

 dnciing matter ( i. e, metal) ceased lo be contin- 

 ued, and again passing along the ujirighl rods 

 and spindles of iron, without even iiijiuing tli« 

 slender wooden case in which one of these (tbe 

 clock spindle, foilv-six (tjrt long and one inch in 

 diameter.) was enclosed. 



Hail the iron rod hien carried from Ihe rane of Ihr 

 spire lo the lead of the roof Ihe danutire to the builds 

 ins leould have been averted.— .\orlhern Lis;hl.
