Thfr fll'O hall which wrecked the v!l
iuge of Stoke Hoy Its near Anodic, is
described as having presented a vivid
spectacle. It Is not posslblo to as
certain Its true character, for there are
various sorts of electrical phenomena
which como under the term "lire
hall."
According to the best anthoritIo.h, a
fire hall Is a mysterious phenomenon
of spherical form which fall.-* from a
thunder cloud and frequently re
bounds after striking the earth. It
usually burns with a bright flash
and a loud explosion and occasionally
discharges Hashes of ilKbiulng. Hy
some scientists the tiro ball Is term
ed "globe lightning," but Hie keenest
enthusiast has never stopped snlli
ciently long to examine It closely on
arrival.
Sometimes an ordinary bolt of light

This phenomenon, which has never
been satisfactorily explained, presents
nil the characteristics of the true tiro
