Calculating the Distance of a storm.


Although lightning and thunder occur
always simultaneously, an interval Of
shorter or longer duration is usually OBJ
served between these two phenomena.
which is due to the fact that sound trav-
els only at the rate Of LOO feet per sec
ond, while the passage of light is almost
instantaneous. Based upon this fact, it
is an easy matter to tell. atleast approx
imately. how many miles thunder
storm is away. A normal pulse viii
beat about one stroke to the second, and
by counting the pulse beats during the
interval 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: If 80 seconds elapse be-
tween the fash of the lightning and the
crash of thunder, the storm center is at
a distance of $4,000 feet, or about 81
miles. An almost accurate calculation
can be made by using a watch with a
minute dial.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Artificial miniature auroras of the
boreais variety have been produced by
both De Ia Rive, the French savant, and
Lenstrom, the Swedish astronomer. In
Professor Lenstrom's experiments,
which were made in Finland, the peak of
a high mountain was surrounded with a
coil of wire, pointed at intervals with
tin nibs. The wire was then charged
with electricity, whereupon a brilliant
aurora appeared above the mountain, in
which spectroscopic analysis revealed
the greenish yellow rays so character
istic in natures display of northern
lights. st. LoHis Republic.

ANOTHER PLAN.
Captain SWinton Thinks He Can
Float the MioWera.

Capt. H. Swinton is reported to
be preparing plan for floating the
Miowera. Mr.. Swinton was one of
those who aided in getting off the
old steamer Kilauea at Kawaihae
years ago. He proposes to float
the Miowera by means of two
heavy lifting posts placed near the
stern. He thinks that the tug
Eleu and steamer Likelike could
do the work. The stern is to be
raised by means of heavy wire
cables running from the forward
part of the vessel to the stern, two
wires going through heavy blocks
placed at the top of the lifting
posts, and the tug is to tow the
wires, by which the stern of the
vessel could be raised several feet,
at the same time the steamer
Likelike would tow from the bow.
Mr.. Swinton says he can get two
heavy blocks and poles from the
marine railway, while the cables
are to be found on the U. S. S..
Philadelphia. He will present his
plans to Capt. Stott and the agents
of the Miowera for examination.
Mr.. A. Lyle, of the Marine rail-
way, accompanied by his son
James and a native diver, went
out to the steamer Miowera at 5 80
o'clock last Saturday morning.
On their return, Mr.. Lyle report
ed that the stranded steamer was
ali right all along the port side un-
derneath the bottom. On the star
board side she was free from the
smokestack forward and for fifteen
feet from the stern post. The Mo
vera is therefore aground OF the
