Electricity inquiries, "Why does flash
of lightning take zigzag course instead
Of straight oneY" A flash of lightning
is really the passage through the air of
a mass of electric fluid"-to use a pop
ular term for lack of better one
through the air at such speed that it
looks like a continuous stream of light.
Like all fluids it follows the path of
least resistance, and as the atmosphere
through which it passes is of different
density in different strata, the "bolt"
changes it's course with each change of
density.
Added to this its intense heat burns
the nitrogen of the air in the oxygen
and produces temporary vacuum in
which it itself splits up Instantaneous
photography proves this by showing
that fash of lightning not only takes
zigzag course, but also splits up into
smaller side flashes, something like the
branches Of a trce.-Yanl;ee Blade.

How Our Globes Age Is Calculated.

HOW our GlODc'b age ls CalcuIateus
The amount of lime salts in water
which drains from districts made up of
GRANTEES and basalts is found by COM
parison of different analyses to be on an
average of about 3.73 parts in 100000
parts of water. 1t is further assumed
by those who take this mode of reckon
ing the age Of the world that the excess
areas of igneous rocks, taken ON an
average throughout all geological time,
will bear to the exposures of sediment
ary rocks ratio of one to nine. From
these and other. more complicated data
it has been inferred that the elimination
of the calcareous matter now found in
all the sedimentary strata must have
been going on through period of 600,-
100000 years! This therefore represents
the minimum age of the world.
Geologists also conclude that the for.
and silurian strata occupied period OF
about 100000, 900 years; the red sand.
stone, the carboniferous and the peci.
litic systems another 200, 600, 900 years
the remaining 200,000,000 years being
taken with the formation of all other
stratas. Thus we are led to believe that
geological time has been enormously in
excess of the limits urged by certain
well known physicists, and that it has
been ample to allow for all the changes
which, on the hypothesis of evolution

The Rat Must Go.

In view of the discovery have made
that the rat is liable to tuberculosis
the disease which is and has been for a
long time more discussed by the faculty
than almost any other-I insist that
every effort should be made to exter-
inmate the murin@, especially those spe-
cies that come more nearly in contact
with man, The plea that the rat is a
good scavenger should be Of no avail to
save him. The jackal of the far east is
u scavenger and the turkey buzzard Of
our gulf states is another, but with all
the appliances of civilization at COM
mand is it necessary for us to hold these
filthy creatures sacred for all time?
The rat must go, He must be swept
away from the earth and left to figure
as thing Of the past, like dodo or
the megatherium or the pterodactyl.-
