ONE THUNDERCLAP A CENTURY.
There Are Some Places Where Thun-
derStorms Are Unknown.

derstorms Are Unknown.
In Finland, East Turkestan, Iceland,
Nova Zembla, the north part of Siberia,
as well as all places in the extreme
north, a clap of thunder is an unknown
occurrence; while Peru has only one, or,
at most, two, thunderstorms in a GEN.
fury, its thunderstorm of 1877 having
been the only one since 1903.
Some parts of France, on the other
hand, appear to be the most thundery
places on the earth's surface, as, ac-
cnTding to the president of the French
Meteorological society, in six or seven
months of 1892 as many as 32s were
counted.
The director of the observatory at
question, states that there is a zone OF
electric activity of great intensity on
both sides of the equator, which is also
the zone of the greatest rainfall. This
zone he divides into three sections, the
first embracing Asia and Oceanica,
Indo-China and the Sunda isles to New
Guinea. The yearly thunderstorms over
that zone average from 90 to 100.
The second zone starts from the west
coast of Africa between ATTITUDES 5 and
10 degrees north and IS and Is degrees
south, while the third zone comprises
the tropical regions of America, where
the mean annual number of thunder
storms exceeds 100.
To the north of this zone, which is
termed the electric equator, the storms
decrease in number till the deserts Of
Africa, Egypt, Persia and central Asia
are reached, where the rainfall is scanty
and thunderstorms rare.

Wonsu's Woes,

Mrs. Worrit had dreadful bad luck
with her strawberries. She fused
over 'em all day, her girl got mad and
quit, the dinner wasn't ready when
Mr.. Worrit came home, and the baby
was bowling itself black in the face
What's the matter?' says Mr.. Worrit.
1T won't jell,' says Mrs. Worrit, and
burst out a-crying."
"What did Mr. Worrit say?"
''He said something that sounded like
jell an put on his hat an went away"

MAKING BRICKS WIFI OIL
Found to Dc Cheaper and Better Than
Any other Fuel.

Any Otler Fuel.
An experiment of considerable in
terest to brick manufacturers and deal
ers has been tried in brickyard in New
York state, fuel oil being used instead
of wood or coal oil to burn a kiln of
bricks. Fuel oil is the product left after
crude petroleum has been refined. 1t
has been used for some time as fuel for
engines and furnaces, but its adapta-
bility for the more delicate operation
Of burning pottery or bricks is recent
discovery. The success of the expert
ment, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, is
likely to reduce the cost of brick MAX
ing in a considerable degree. Forced
draught is an important factor in the
system, and by it the heat from the
burner can be directed at uniform
temperature toward any part of the
r-ch of the kiln. The oil runs in pipes
~"Hnh the base of the kiln and feeds
''~..'tlr from the burner in the arch in
''.-"~iar. The forced draught "feeds
18th the oil, and by the turning OF
'-" The heat can be regulated at any
...": within the arch.
Il is claimed that the use of oil is
Euch cheaper than that of either coal
or wood for brick burning. The cost Of
burning 1000 bricks with wood at five
dollars a cord is so cents; the cost where
coal is used is so cents; with oil the cost
Is 3S cents. In burning bricks with wood
~ men are required every "a hours: if
oil is used two men can do the work.
The new method is quicker, completing
the burning of the kiln in six days, in
stead of seven or eight, as formerly, and
the bricks are better, because with the
forced air draught the temperature Of
the kiln is entirely under control.
