ascending portions of the air and the

electricity only the surface becomes

Storm In All It's Fury.

The raindrops, too large and heavy to-
hover in the air, fall to earth. AS the
clouds merge, raindrops form more and
more rapidly and the rain falls more
violently and copiously. The storm IS
now fully developed, and unburdens
itself with fury. Brilliant flashes of
light produced by powerful electric
sparks illuminate the darkness, and the
thunder growls in the sky. The tension
between the surface of the earth and
that of the clouds has become stronger.
The tracts of air which at first were too
vast to be traversed by electricity are
now the pathway of lightning, not
only between earth and clouds, but also
between cloud and cloud, negative and
positive poles meeting whenever strong
