STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
AND SPLINTERED TO PIECES.(By TelecraDli.—Special Correspondent.) Auckland, November 7. The telegraph lineman at Orewa reports that after a thunderstorm which passed over Whangaparaoa he found that ten telegraph poles had been-struck by lightning and splintered to pieces, somo of the pieces being thrown a long distance. The lightning guards at the cable poles over the Orewa Eiver, and' also at Arkle's Bay, were fused, and when the lineman reached the cable running over to Tiri he found the guards in the same condition and had to force them open with his screw-driver. The distance affected was about ten miles.
