BALL LIGHTNING.
Rare Phenomenon Described by a
Weather Bureau Observer Who
Wftnessed IT.

Rare Phenomenon Described by a
Weather Bureau Observer Who
Witnessed 1t.
Every schoolboy has seen pictures of
what is called ball lightning. 1t is a
very rare phenomenon and no meteor
ologist pretends to understand it. Prof.
Davis, Of Harvard, says in his "Ele-
mentary Meteorology" that discharges
of atmospheric electricity occasionally
take the form Of globe lightning. hav-
ing the appearance Of luminous balls,
moving at a moderate velocity and
passing among objects near the ground,
remaining visible number Of seconds
and commonly disappearing with an
explosion. No satisfactory explanation
has been offered for this phenomenon;
careful observation should be made of
it."
Another meteorologist calls 1t a very
rare form of lightning. He says that a
vivid flash, accompanied by a violent
explosion. seems to project brilliant
bomb to the earth. Upon striking the
earth the bomb may rebound several
times before it splits up and disap-
pears. He adds that no satisfactory
explanation has been given Of this sim
gular form Of electrical discharge.
A short time ago there was dis
play of ball lightning near Cumberland,
Nd, and a short account was given OF
it in a local newspaper. The strange
vagaries Of ball lightning are so sell
dom witnessed that scientific men have
sometimes expressed doubt that there
is any such thing. It has as yet been
found very difficult to form a theory
about it that will cover all its pecu-
liarities, particularly as regards shape
color, slow and erratic movements and
