Four people sitting in a room were rendered insensible by a 1 lightning flash, which cut in half a . locust tree outside. On their recovery, ; one of them, a young ohild, was found , to bear on its body the imprint of the ; whole tree, limb, and branch, and leaf, and even the severed portion being distinctly reproduced. These marks i were not permanent, but grew fainter" day by day, and in a month's time had entirely disappeared. We have heard of a similar case in Servia, where a I wiioie landscape waa thus imprinted on 'a mAtt'j. body.
