A MIDSUMMER DAP.

There Is flush in the sky of crimson deep:
From a waxing bird there's II arowss cheep;
There's a ripple OF gold upon the brooks,
And glitter at os.w IN du.kv hooks.
Ard this is the way
A midsummer day
Bids the world goOd-morning.
There's n tremulous cry from tree-toad hid.
And the HUSKY piaint of the ka'ldiu;
Then the fire-iies wink. now h gn, now low,
Like sudden Hurry of golden snow.
And this is the way
A mid-ummer day
Bids the world good-evening.

gested to prevent hail storms. but none
have as vet been crowned with success.
So the field is still open to enterprising
inventors and discoveries In some
countries bells have been rung. drums
beaten, cannons fired, and even rockets
discharged, but all have proved as in
efficient as consecrated herbs. magic
formulas. Old-women remedies, OF de-
vices calculated TO quiet the fears OF the
superstitious. 1t was once thought
that system of lightning rods would
convey the electricity from the clouds
and render the formation of hail i'm
possible, but an experiment tried in
Canton lie Wand. in Switzerland, puts
to fight this theory. Many conductors
were here erected and terrible storm
occurred from the I'D to the 25d OF
June. 1926. upon the protected Vine
yards. and every grape was destroyed,
while the unprotected ones escaped scot
free.
Accompanying hail storms thunder
and lightning are frequent. Yet it is
not common for lightning to strike
either persons Or buildings during these
storms. An exchange furnishes some
reasons for the color OF lightning. which
are pertinent:
The color Of lightning is altogether
due TO the nature OF the substance
which is made incandescent in its track.
The blue, red. purple and other tints,
which are ordinarily much more brill,
iantly marked in warm climates and
inter-trOplcal countries than they ever

circumstances as the color which is de-
signedly communicated to the light of
different kinds of fireworks.
1t is result OF the intrinsic natures
of the vaporized particles which are
made to shine. The vapor OF iron has
one kind of sheen. and the vapor of
sulphur another. Each different foreign
ingredient that floats in the air has its
own proper hue. which it can commu-
nicate to the lightning.
The broad flashes of light that appear
in the clouds during thunderstorm.
and that are distinguished as sheet
lightning. are very often mainly the re-
Elections from the cloud mist of the
charges that pass from one part to an
other with each redistribution of the in
ternal charge. as the tension at the outer
surfaces is changed by an external
flash.
This redistribution OF the internal
charge is sometimes also marked by
very beautiful lines of .corruscation
playing upon the dark background as
the storm drifts away.
There is a table mountain few miles
away from ierferinaritzburg, Natal,
over which this kind Of display is con-
tinually exhibited.
The retreating storm clouds Gnger
over the fiat top OF this mountain. where
they can be seen from the city in the
advancing night.
In this dark canopy of the mountain
bright corruscations. accompanying
each redistribution of the electrical
charge. can be watched for hours ut a
time-nOw assuming the form of ooro-
mails of electric fire, now running along
in machiolated horizontal lines just
above the flat top of the mountain, and
now radiating out in all directions from
a central loop. like the cracks Of starred
glass. -Csnctnnati En1uirer.

DOBBINS' ELECTRIC SOAP.

Having obtained the agency Of
this celebrated soap for AbbeviIle
and vicinity, | append the opin-
ion of some of our best people as
to its merits. We have been
using for the last 3 months the
Dobbins' Electric soap, made by
l. L. Cragin & Co Philadelphia,
Pa, and find that it washes and
cleans the clothes more rapidly
and more thoroughly and is in
the end cheaper than any other
soap we have ever used in our
family. We can heartily recon-
mend it and a single trial will
convince all of the correctness Of
our assertions.
