Sound of a Thunderstorm.

II is generally agreed that the sound
OF thunderstorm cannot be heard if
at a further distance than between fif-
teen and eighteen miles, although Sir
Richard Phillips has stated that thun-
der may sometimes be heard as far off
as twenty-five miles. Lightning he
says, is reflected $50 or even 200 miles.
The velocity of lightning is so great
that the sounds produced at the vari-
GUS points of flash may be regarded
as simultaneously produced. AS COM
pared with the sounds of cannon-fring
the fire of artillery has been heard
some $40 miles away. When fired
amongst the mountains of Erzgebirge
the people at Antwerp heard it quite
distinctly. To certain extent this
can be accounted for by reverberation.
The report of cannon travels particu-
larly far, as it communicates vibration
to the soil.

Che Creation of Woman.

At the beginning Of time Twashtrl
the Vulcan of the Hindu mythology
created the world. But when he
wished to create woman he found
that he had employed all of his ma
terials in the creation Of man. There
did not remain one solid element.
Then T., perplexed. fell into a pro-
found meditation. He aroused him
self to do as follows: He took the
roundness of the moon, the undula-
lions OF the serpent, the entwlnement
of climbing plants, the trembling Of
the grass, the slenderness Of tho rose
vine and the velvet of the flower, the
lightness of the leaf and the glance
of the fawn, the gayety of the suns
rays and the tears Of the mist, the
Inconsistency Of the wind and the tim
idity of the hare, the vanity Of the
peacock and the softness Of the down
on the throat Of the swallow, the hard
ness of the diamond. the sweet flavor
of honey and the cruelty of the tiger,
the warmth of fire. and the chill Of
snow, the chatter Of the Jay and the
cooling of the turtle dove. He united
all this and formed woman. Then he
made a present of her to man. Eight
days later the man came to Twashtri
and said:
"My lord, the creature you have
given me poisons my existence. She
chatters without rest. She takes an
my time, she laments for nothing at
all and is always ILL.," And T. re-
ceived the woman again.
But eight days later the man came
again to the god and said: "My lord,
my life is very solitary since I re-
turned this creature. / remember she
danced before me. singing. l recall
how she glanced at me from the cor
her of her eye, and that she played
with me, chung to me-" And Twash-
tri returned the woman to him. Three
days only passed and T. saw the man
coming to him again. my lord" said
he, Il do not understand exactly how,
but I am sure that the woman causes
me more annoyance than pleasure.
beg of you to relieve me of her.
But 7. cried: GO your way and do
your best" And the man cried: 81
cannot live with her!" Neither gan
you live without her." replied T.
And the man was sorrowful MUIR
muring: Woe is me, I can neither
live with nor without her."

swiftest Ocean Current.

Among the twenty-five known great
ocean currents, or rivers of the sea, 1t
appears that the swiftest in it's course
is the branch Of the great equatorial
current SO we'll known as the Gulf
Stream, its speed at various places
varying from four and half to five
miles an hour, with its waters at
mean temperature of 81 degrees Fair.
After running 5000 miles towards the
north, as far as 40 degrees north lati-
itude, 1t still preserves, even in winter,
the heat Of summer. The influence OF
this vast body of warm water upon the
seas and coasts it washes cannot be
overesHmated. 1t covers the ocean
with a mantle of warmth and serves
to mitigate the rigors of our Euro
pean winter. The existence of this
wonderful stream was first discovered
in 1912 by Ponce de Leon, Spaniard.

Hebrides?" asked the other in sur

cannibalism Is constantly practiced,
and human flesh is esteemed the great

an unarmed man wouldn't be worth
a moments purchase on any of those
islands. A thing that constantly sur

But people here at home do not seem
