The Sound of Thunder,

One of the most terse and succinct de
scrlptions OF natural phenomenon is
that recently given by NJ. Him, in which
he says that the sound which is known as
thunder is due simply to the fact that the
air traversed by an electric spark. that
is. flash of lightning is suddenly raised
to very high temperature and has its
volume. moreover. considerably increased
The column of gas thus suddenly heated
and expanded is sometimes several miles
long. and, as the duration of the flash is
not even millionth of second it follows
that the noise bursts forth at once from
the whole column, though for an observer
in any one place it commences where the
lightning is at the least distance.
In precise terms. according to NJ Him.
the beginning of the thunderclap gives us
the minimum distance of the lightning
and the length of the thunderclap gives
US the length of the column. He also re
marks that when a fash of lightning
strikes the ground. it is not necessarily
sfrom the place struck that the first noise
Is heard. Again. he points out that
bullet whistles in traversing the air, so
that we can to certain extent follow it's
fight, the same thing also happening with
a falling meteorite just before striking
the earth. The noise actually heard has
been compared to the sound produced
when one tears linen; it is due, really, to
the fact that the air rapidly pushed on
one side in front of the projectile, whether
bullet or meteorite. quickly rushes back to
fill the gap left in the rear.-Boston

Washing as a High Art.

The ordinary man does not think that
much skill is needed in washing clothes,
he has seen them washed, and he has no
doubt but what he could do it as well as
anybody if he had to. He has looked
with critical eye at the washerwoman
perhaps. and as she was not pretty, but
old and careworn. or decidedly black. his
interest has soon died. He imagines that
washing clothes simply means the throw
ing of them into tub of hot water and
then rubbing them up and down on a fur.
rowed board. with little soap to make
them slippery.
This is very far from the truth. Nearly
every article requires different treatment.
Pillow slips and stockings. for instance.
must be turned inside out before they are
washed. and for exactly different reasons.
Flannels must be handled delicatelv. The
ordinary process of washing would soon
make them as smooth as linen, and rob
them of that delightful ability to irritate
the skin that is so soothing In winter. A
piece OF linen marked with fruit stains
must be washed by stretching the linen
over the tub and pouring hot water
through it. and no soap must be used
until the stain disappears. If, however.
the stain is Of long standing, the SPOT
should be slightly dampened and then
rubbed vigorously with common yellow
soap. After this it should be well
starched and then exposed to the sun and
air
Articles of delicate blue should be
washed in water to which sugar of lead
has been added If any article is mil
dewed, javel water will soon remove all
trace of the mildew. Any good washer.
woman knows these things. and many be-
sides that are similar. but this amount of
information may help a bride or two in
