ly studied by Professor Klossovslzy, di-
rector of the observatory at Odessa, who
has published paper on the annual
distribution of thunderstorms over the
globe.
His observations show that a high
temperature, certain degree of humid
iGy and considerable amount of rain
fall are the chief agents favorilA, the
developments of thunderstorms. A col
ored map which accompanies Professor
Klossovsky's paper shows the existence
of a zone of electric activity Of great in
tensity on both sides of the equator,
and this is also the zone of greatest rain
fall. The zone is divided into three Sec
tions, the first embracing Asia and
Ooeania, Indo-China and the Sunda
isles to New Guinea. Over this zone
the yearly average of thunderstorms is
80 to 100. The second zone starts from
the west coast of Africa between and
10 degrees north latitude and degrees
to 10 degrees south latitude, while the
third zone comprises the tropical regions
of America between 20 degrees and 90
degrees north latitude, where the mean
annual number of storms exceeds 100.
To the north of this zone, which is
termed tho electric equator, the storms
decrease in number until the deserts of
Africa, Egypt Persia and central Asia
are reached, where the rainfall is scanty
and thunderstorms rare. To the north
Of the zone q deserts specially over
the continent ot Europe and Asia, the
electric activi .y is somewhat increased.
The data col from 20 high lati-
tudes of the southern he.aisphere refer
principally t0 tuo Eallsland islands,
where the average nuu opr of storms is
only four.
