Purple Light Pavilion is Damaged by Fire Peiping June 17.
The "Purple Light Pavilion" in the Chung Hai Park, one of the scenic spots of Peiping, was struck by lightning recently during a thunder storm which broke over the city about six o'clock and as a consequence was set on fire.
The fire brigades were summoned and put out the conflagration which damaged only one corner of the pavilion.
Later investigation showed that some of the roof decorations were knocked down when the building was struck.—Reuter.
