SAVED FROM LIGHTNING BY A RUBBER COAT, There have been a good many authentic instances wheremen have been saved from the effect of lightning by beingequipped with a pair of rubber boots, for a good pair ofrubber boots or rubber shoes is effective insulation; and theNew York papers recently cited the case of a worthy citizenof Goshen, New York, whose life was probably saved bythe fact that he was wearing a rubber coat. During asevere thunder storm he was passing a church, the steepleof which was equipped with lightning rods. The steeplewas struck and the lightning proceeded down the rods. Theman was passing close by and received a considerable shock,being rendered unconscious for a time—but he was pickedup and soon recovered. He attributes his escape from fatalresult to his rubber coat. If he had been wearing a pairof rubber boots also the probability is he would hardly havefelt the lightning. This, by the way, is not a bad talkingp
