THE REAL CAUSE OF THE
THUNDER'S LONG ROLL

The prolonged roll of thunder is readily
explained by comparison with a volley
hred along a line OF troops. Suppose
troops TO be drawn up on a line In such
numbers as 10 extend for a mile and or
dered by signal TO fire at once. One
standing at the end of the line would
hear the report OF the musket nearest
him instantly. He would hear the others
successfully Thus a report $50 feet away
would come to him In half "A second. and
he would not hear the last report for FIVE
or six seconds after the gun had been
fired, This would produce a sort of roll
which would gradually increase in in
tensity. II the listener stood exactly mid
way between the two ends OF the line the
reports from bottle ends would reach him
at once and the sound would be but half
as long in reaching him as If he stood
at one extremity. If the soldiers formed
a circle there would be one sharp explo-
sion. Flashes of lightning may be con-
sidered as representing three lines Of
troops along which the explosions occur
at the same time Consider the variety
OF distance and position Of the listener
and we account for the variety OF sound
in thunder. In mountainous regions the
rolling is augmented by reverberations or
echoes.

coming congressional campaign
However this all too evident trick will not
halt the agitation for reciprocity. Reciprocity is
what the merchants and manufacturers of New
England want
1t is possible that just at present the Canadian
premier does not want it, but convincing negotia-
tions would, without doubt lead to a change in
his attitude.
If Republicans in high places at Washington
believe they can thrust out of consideration by the
people during the campaign consideration of reci-
procity and tariff revision they will find themselves
grevouslY mistaken.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

Signs multiply that the insistent demand of

Canadian government has finally and emphatcally
refused TO further consider the subject.
Furthermore, il is claimed to be the purpose
OF Sir Wilfrid Laurier TO lay before the Canadian
parliament at its next session bill providing for
high protective tariff, which will discriminate
particularly against the manufacturers OF this
country.
There is no difficulty in discovering the pur-
pose of such publication as this II is obviously
intended 10 lead the people OF New England TO be

ment OF reciprocity with Canada will be futile and
