Clothed in Electric Fire.

A correspondent of the New York Evening Pont gives the following account of an electric storm ou the summit of Pike’s Peak, 14,174 feet above the sea: “For over two hours everything was tipped and covered with electricity. Spanish pack mules, left ou the. summit for the night, appeared to. be all on fire; the clothes of the men seemed ablaze; electricity streamed from the tips of the fingers, from the nose and from the liair. The anemometer on top of the building spat fire at every revolution. Every rock on the summit was covered with flame.”
