FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.
Some of the Peculiar Forms 1t Assumes
During Thunder Storms.
Conformations Caught by the De-
tective Camera-The Dead
ly Zig-zag and Dazzling
Bolt.

Some OF the most tremendous electri-
cal storms ever known in this country
have occurred during the last two
summers. Many people have been in
stanty killed by the mysterious agent,
which science now proposes to harness
for the execution OF condemned muir
derers, and the destruction of property
has been something nprecedented.
At the same time the display in the
heavens has been of such u character
as to awaken feelings of awe and
terror in the supersttious, and TO
amaze even the scientific Investigator.
During some OF the electrical storms
there were times when the whole sky,
from zenith 10 nadir, seemed n glitter
ing mass of fire about to- wreal destruo-
tiOn upon every animate thing below.
Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1889-10-31

Scientists have spent half their lives
and Uncle Sam has expended a goodly
bit OF treasury surplus in the attempt
so ascertain the atmospheric condi-
tions which produce the changes in
the weather; but the path OF the light
ming and the nature of the most subtle
agent in the universe still remain to a
very large extent a Sc lied book TO the
savants. Clouds, wind, air currents
and centers of radiation are al more
or less familiar topics TO the weather
sharps, but the freaks OF the potent
illuminator of the sky are beyond
their ken.
Recent experiments with the in
Simultaneous camera have done much
toward bringing some of the eccentrici-
ties of lightning within our compre-
hension; but the little they have dis
closed only serves 10 augment curios-
ity. 1t is strange commentary upon
the limits set to mans knowledge that
he should know less about the fam
beauX Of the clouds, which flash about
and over him, than he does about the
remote planet Mars.
One of the most interesting and
novel experiments in this direction was
made u few with the instantaneous
camera, while severe thunderstorm
was raging east OF Sandy HOOK. In
termittent flashes lit up the sky, fol-
lowed at longer intervals by Il binding
blaze of light, so dazzling that when
il expired the whole atmosphere SEEM
ed filled with sulphurous blackness.
IL was night.
Focusing the camera on the group OF
nimbus clouds that marked the storm
center, the operator waited his oppor-
tunity. 1t C me in a moment. Ban
ners OF bluish-white streamed out from
common branch or center, extend
Ing all over the horizon and glittering
there, for probably two seconds, when
they expired. The exposure showed Il
perfect picture OF "trunculated" light
ming, every branch of the tree being
connected with the parent stem, al
though the connection had not been
visible to the naked eye. In this case
the streamers ran from the zenith
downward. Later another exposure
brought the reverse picture, the lines
of glittering flame traversing the sky
from the horizon upward. The swift
ness OF the passage OF the fluid in the
heavens may be imagined from the
fact that the exposure, only occupying
little over a second, took in the
whole tree as unit, on both coca
sions.
If it ever becomes possible to meas.
are the velocity OF lightning bolt it
will have TO be done with some instru-
meut not yet invented. A flash is to it
as trottcr is to a racehorse. If n
dozen lenses were focused on space and
could by some lucky accident happen
to be put in operation at the instant an
able-bodied fire bolt began its gyra-
tions it would catch something like
this:

Claude Melnotte he poured forth his
passion for her in hot, burning words,
and had just rounded the last word in
the prologue OF his little drama when
his heart failed him. During his re-
cital this noble girl whose generous
nature had prompted her to such an
heroic resolve had been busy in slip

his back in readiness to help in the
moment OF need. 1t came. He gasped,
he faltered, and she pulled the line
with a yank that showed true womaaly

second she waited for results. She
was confident that the elixir could not
fail, and as the m ny points tore their
little burrows along the pathway of his
spinal column his speech returned.

These five positions are curves de-
scribed by a single bolt, all five being
visible and vanished in the fraction of
a second-just long enough to leave an
impression less on the eye than on the
mind OF the observer. The curve and
dip alternately were not unlike those
of a shuttlecock. but were so swift and
dazzling that the impression received
was but weak approximation of the
reality.
Another strange picture was that of
the deadly ''articulated" lightning
which, beginning at point in the
southeast. travelled swiftly downward,
branching of at intervals and then dis
appearing with n sharp westward
curve, in the direction of the earth.
This and the "zig-zag" flash. are the
only forms OF lightning regarded as
fatal to life or dangerous to property.
as they invariably seek the earth. In
their descent the stream broadens till
IL attains the Dimensions of a wide belt
of fire, travelling mt inconceivable speed
and leaving in its trail a distinct sui
phurous odor. At distance in the
sky IL seems like a slender bar OF blush
or yellowish white.
Another and more familiar form of
the same phenomenon is the straight
line thunderbolt. which is not an infre-

she yields the long double puddle she
