The Distance of Thunderstorm.

Although lightning and thunder &C.
cur almost simultaneously, an interval
of shorter or longer duration is usual
" observed between these two phe-
nom ena, which is due to the fact that
sound travels only at the rate OF eleven
hundred feet per second. while the pas
sage of light is almost instantaneous.
Based upon this fact it is an easy mat
ter to tell at least approximately how
many miles thunderstorm is away
A normal pulse viii beat about one
stroke to the second, and by continu-
ing the pulse-beats during the inter
walls of the lightning and the thunder
the lapse of seconds is arrived at, and
consequently the number of feet,which
can be reduced to miles. For example:
II thirty seconds elapses between the
fash of the lightning and the crash of
thunder the storm center is at dis
lance of thirtythree thousand feet, or
bout six and half miles An almost
accurate calculation can be made with
using watch with minute dial.-Sk
