ton for the place." said he, and have not
exerted myself to the extent of sending in
a single letter OF recommendation. The

helping Attorney General Goddard in the
ColoTado-Kansa irrigation case. have
not received any Official notice OF my ap-
pointment, and until l receive Il, | will not

The Raw Food Habit.

Just now the raw food diet threatens
to become a fad Certainly many peo
pie are experimenting With this new
dctctic idea. 1t would be far better
for the average man or woman to
adopt an absolutely raw diet and eat
everything which he could possibly eat
or relish in a perfectly raw state than
to swallow into his stomach the horri
bic mcSScs which are concoctcd by the
average cook 1t is safer on the whole
for man to take his food as he finds it
in its natural state than to take it as
he finds il on the table of the average
boarding house or hotel. In other
words, it is far safer for man to re-
ceivc his food straight from the hands
of his Maker than from the hands Of Il

SEVEN FEET OF LIGHTNING
The Largest Electrical spark Ever

=
The largest spark of lightning thai
can be produced altiticiAilF is a little
under seven feet long Such Il spark.
which is OF practical use III the study
of the phenomena of lightning. may he
seen at the Jefferson Physical Iahora-
tory at Harvard university. where il
is produced by the tremendous power
of 3,OOo,o00 volts of electricity. or sew
eral thousand times the power used in
electroeuting a criminal 1t has been
found also that Il higher voltage can-
not produce It longer spark.
The battery used ut the Cambridge
laboratory consists of 10000 cells aud
has Il total eiectromotivc force of about
G,O000o6 volts, Il greater power than
that Of any other laboratory battery in
this country and probably in the
world. When the battery is operated
in Il darkened room, the reason Why
even the full current cannot produce Il
spark longer than that made by only
half its total power becomes readily
apparent.
Not only does the current of electric
ity flash from ore terminal sphere Of
the transforming machine to he other
making an exact reproduction OF light
ming without tno thunder, but from
10th terminals and from the long ROW
of conducting plates there is q silaut;t

The high electrouotivc force of the
battery has apparently broken down
the resistance of the air, Il result sim

sure. Tie main discharge of electric
ity that would have otherwise passed
between the terminals passes through
the air To the floor and wallis. As the
elecjromOtive force increases more and
more electricity is given off toward
floor and Walls, and the length of the
spark between the terminals is there
fore permanently limited
With this same apparatus, if it could
be elevated into the raretied atmos-
phere in which real li@htuing occurs
and where neither floors nor walls can

| perimentS that the sha1terng and dis
rupive effects Of lightning are very
probably due to the expansion of con-
| fined air. as, for example, when the
