LIGHTNING
There Are Three Kinds, the Forked. the
sheet and the Globular.

/. As to the term "iorked lightning"
the representations Of it given by
artists. which resemble the so-called
thunderbolts placed in the hand of Jupi-
ter, are quite absurd. The flash, when
photographed, exhibits itself as a line
which is continually changing its course,
and is described as intensely crooked"
by a very careful observer. 1t never
proceeds for a time in a straight line,
and then, turning at a sharp angle, GO
ing on further in an equally straight
line, as is represented in pictures. The
forking Of it is very marked, and this
occurs by side flashes passing off from
the main track. and eventually losing
themselves, like the ramiications of
tree roots. Occasionally the lightning
appears TO start from a point from which
several flashes diverge in different di.
rections.
2. "Sheet Lightning Whenever a
fash passes from cloud to cloud or
from cloud to earth, the Zig ht produced
by it illuminates the sky in the neigh.
borhood, and the more intense the
fash the more brilliant and ex.
tensive the illumination. At times
sheet lightning has been proved to EN-.
anate from an ordinary storm distant
more than a hundred miles from tn Q
point Of observation. 1t is, however,
maintained, and apparently with good
reason, that occasionally ligh thing OF
the sheet" type, such as what is called
"samm err lightning" takes place with
out any thunder; so that, in such cases,
no actual thunderstorm Is in progress.
8 "Globular Lightning This is q
rare phi lnomenon and n which no one
has as yet been able to produce in the
laboratory, whereas the phenomena Of
the two previous types are easily pro.
duced. The general description Of the
occurrence is that luminous ball Is
seen moving very slowly, not touching
any object, and eventually breaking up
with q violent explosion and the ap
p~earance Of several flashes of ordinary
lightning, 1t is reported that persons
have gone out from a house into q street
TO follow such o ball and watch III
movements, so that the occurrence mus,

is practically quite instantaneous. The

gloom of a rainy day concealed It's short

clear, uncompromising August noon
like this, the cruel sunshine revealed
each crack. in the ceiling, and every
worn spot in the carpet like a magnify

And really there was some occasion
for the doleful look with which Leslie
regarded the table. There was the ex-
IRENE shank bone of a ham boiled into
rags, a few slices OF cold beef, some
baked potatoes, and a custard that Ger.

favenous ewes, while Harry, the eldest
brother. who had been doing some
amateur white-washing, was making a
hasty toilet in the sink.room; and the
two grown sisters superintendent the
banquet.
Mr.. Bernard was engaged in writing
his next Sundays sermon, and his wife
was at a neighbor's house, helping to
nurse a cross old woman, who had worn
out everybody's patience but her own.

"Why, Clara, what's the matter?n
said Leslie, gently, moving the bowl of
sugar out of young David's reach, and
helping to perpendicularize the small
Ida in her chair.
'Oh! ! don't know" replied Clara;
'Tm cross"

Harry, seating himself. 1T is one OF
