Men and Horses.

The lJ6-hOur rise between mel and
horses. n Chicago. last week. ended an
I victory for man. Byrnc, a new pc
destrian. who i scarcely twenty yet.
scored ji2 miles as his day record,
and stopped SATURDAY. with 4 score OF
j15 miles. The leading horse finished
ten miles behind him. The Chicago pa
Ders call the contest a great one, OF
course, but without finding fault with
that. it NAV be said that they are quite
in error in describing il a. 1.-THE first of
the kind eve given Last October
there was "a similar contest in San Fran
cisco, but then 4 horse won. with a six
day record Of 80 miles. However. the
list of such contests we believe there
have been others-is happily, 4 brief
one and. stepping outside of il, there
are au,hent C records Of remarkable
rid which are far more interesting
than such obiec,loss displays Of grim
endurance rs the Chicago performance.
La 1917 General J. {. Fremont and two
companions covered 800 miles across a
roadiess and mountainous country in
ljS hours. only 100 of which were spent
in the saddle. OF course they had n
frequent change OF horses. those not I'M
der saddle being driven ahead and las
seed when wanted. This is perhaps the
most remarkable horseback ride ON aI-
thcntic record. Two or three years ago
nine Italian officers undertook a ride OF
so miles to see what was the extreme
performance which might be eNDectedo
ordinary horses in war. Only three
finished the distance. and thev required
lO5 hours for the task. som" time
before this another Italian officer rode
$50 Italian miles i'm ten ia 5 on a single
horse. Fron Vienna to Paris i 800
miles ~ the crow flies. Prince dc Linge
once cpyerc! the road between the two
cites in six DAYS. but with RELAYS Of
horses. Count de Maintenay is said Ia
have done it in less time on a single
roadster. He was then the bearer OF
of the consent ofthe Emperorof Austria
10 the marriage of Napoleon and Marie
Louise, and he was rewarded for his
speed with a iewc!cd snuff-box, 6.000f.,
and the horse which carried him so
well. 1t is.said that he rode the whole
WAY without diSmounting. but hat is
scarcely credible. The conditions are
so different that it is impossible To
compare these feats with those Of last
week at Chicago. but il seems reason
ably certain that neither on horseback
nor on foot can the rate of 100 miles be
kept up for more than five days, and
that there are men who can do the
distance ut least Is qui. ky without a
horse as with one.-N. \. Tunes.

The Flash or Lightning.

The apparatus which, in our labora-
tories, enables us 10 measure the time
which light, moving at nearly 100000
miles per sec ond, takes To pass 0ver u
few feet, is required To prove 10 us that
lightning is not absolutely instantane-
Gus. WhcatStone has shown that it
certainly lasts less than a millionth part
of a second. Take this, along with
Swans datum, which | have just given
YOU, and YOU see that the apparent
brightness of the landscape, rs lit up
by a lightning flash. i less than m
hundred t%housanath part of what il
would be were the lightning perma-
nent. We have thus rough materials
for %instituting a comparison between
the intrinsic brightness Of lightning
and OF the sun. Transient in the eX-
IRENE as the phenomenon is, we can
still. in virtue of the duration of visual
impressions, form a tolerably accurate
conception OF the form of a flash; and
in recent times instantaneous processes
of photography have given us perma-
nent records of it. These, when COM
pared with Photographic records of
ordinary electric sparks, bearout TO the
full the convictions At once forced by
appearances on the old electricians,
that a flash of lightning is merely a
very large electric spark. The Pc
culiar zig-zag form, sometimes ap-
parently almost doubling back ON
itself, the occasional bifurcations, and
various other phenomena of Il light
ming flash, are all shown by the pow
erful sparks from an electric machine.
The spectroscope has recently given
us still more convincing evidence of
their identity, if any such should be
wanted. The b~ifurcations of n flash
car puzzle no one who is experimental
" acquainted with electricity, but the
zig-zag form is not quite SO easily ex-
planned. Ii is certainly DESTROYED in
the case of short sparks by heating the
air. Now, heating in a tube or flame
not only gets rid of notes and other
combustible materials but it also re-
moves all traces of electritication from
air. Ii is possible, then, that the zig
gag form of lightning flash may, in
certain eases at least, be due to local
identification, which would have the
same sort of effect rs heat in rarefying
the airand making it better conductor.
A remark is made very commonly in
thunder-storms which, if correct. is
obviously inconsistent with what | have
said as to the extremely short duration
of a flash. The eye could not possibly
follow movements ofsuch extraordinary
rapidity. Hence it is clear that when
people say they saw a flash 70 upward to
the clouds from the ground, or down.
ward fromthe clouds to the ground. they
must be mistaken. , The origin of the
mistake seems TO be a subjective one.
viz; that the central parts of the retina
are more sensitive, by practice, than
the rest, and therefore that the portion
of the flash which is seen directly af-
fectS the brain sooner than the rest.
Hence a spectator looking toward
either end of n flash very naturally
fancies that cpd TO be its starting-point.

AT a recent meeting Of the Duiwich
(England) College Geological Club,
Mr.. B. q. jenkins read a paper sOn
the Origin of Waves of Cold" The
object of the paper was to show the
very. remarkable effect of the planet
Venus-upon the earth. Many wears
ago the present Astronomer Royal
proved that the disturbing effect of this
planet was 50 great that the earth was
materially pulled out Of its orbit. Mr..
Jenkins shows that it is to this disturb
ing action we must look for an ex.
plauation of the cold waves which ron
through the atmosphere on an average
every eight years-as in 1929. 1857,
1915. 1855, 1S60.slS7I. 1S79-and that
for the next forty years the temperature
will be below the average, as it has
during the past forty years been above
the average. With regard to high tenn
perature, he stated that for the last
fifty years a heat wave has been observed
to pass over the earth every twelve
years. nearly and contemporary with
the arrival of the planet Jupiter about
perihelion. and that we are on the eve
of the next heat wave.

on the occasion Of the Federal Fete of
Singers. A telephone had been placed
in the Zurich FesfhalIe. and two con

graphic Office, where 2 large audience
had congregated- The distance from
Bale to Zurich IS about eighty kilomet-
