Origin Of Thunder.

The phenomenon is thus explained

sound which is known rs thunder is
due simply to the fact that the air
traversed by an electric spark, that is,
a Hash of lightning. is suddenly raised
to a very high temperature. and has
IT'S 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 a
mlllionth of n second. it follows that
the noise bursts forth AT once from
the whole column. though for an oh.
server IN any one place it commences
where the lightning j. at the least dis

Of the thunderIap gives us the mini
mum distance Of the lightning. and
he length of the thunlerclab gives us
the length OF the column. The same
writer illustrates his point 10y showing
that u bullet whistles in traverSinrtl Ia,

follow its light. the same thing also

before striking the earth. The noise

the sound produced when one tears

succeeded in passing this region ri

The India il the third transatlantic

Capt. Jameson, when he arrived

Capt. Andrews was i'm the best of
