rnunderstorns.

Do not imagine that because heavy
thunderstorm is far away to leeward
it is not likely to arise and wet you.
Even if the wind is blowing right
against the cloud it will come your way
all the more surely, for thunderstorms
always travel against the wind.
!, The reason for this is that there is
invariably countercurrent of air
above the breeze that you feel close to
the earth, and this sky high wind blows
in the opposite direction to the one
which alone you can detect. Thus the
tempest seems to work its way right
through the winds eyes in a very con-
trary sort Of way.
Fog never does this; neither does
ordinary rain-at least very seldom
but snow or sleet some time works its
way up wind just as the tempest does.
Sheet lightning, by the way, is not a
distinctive sort Of light, but merely the
reflection in the sky of forked fash
many miles away. You can tell how
far away tempest is by counting the
number Of seconds that pass between
the flash and the peal. Each second
stands for about mile.-New York
