the value to health of tho pure liquid

About Lightning.

Although lightning and thunder
occur always simultaneously, an in
terval of shorter or longer duration
Is usually observed between these two
phenomena, which is due to the fact
that sound travels only at the rate Of
1,100 feet per second, while the pass
age Of light is almost instantaneous
Based upon this fact IL Is an easy
matter to tell, at least approximately,
how many miles thunderstorm is
away.
A normal pulse will beat about one
stroke to the second, and by count.
ing the pulse beats during the inter-
val 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 thirty seconds
elapse between the fash of the light
ming and the crash OF thunder, the
storm center is at a distance OF 49,
QUO feet, or about 50 miles. An al
most accurate calculation can be
made by using watch with a minute
