Energy of Lightning Flash.

A flash Of lightning one kilometer

Otto NairZ to be worth $500 at the
price for electric lighting in Berlin
This energy corresponds to the indus
trial production of electricity in all
Germany during forty seconds or to
that of Berlin during two and one
quarter minutes. and it would operate
the Berlin elevated and subway an
hour and half at its busiest time, or
run an express car at 125 miles an
hour for the three hours trip from Ber-
lin to Frankfort. or light thirty-two

this is only an average flash, of which

acood Falls, Mimi.
DEAR SIR: Let's have a little
private talk by ourselves on bust
ness, nobody else, please read.
You want to know how to do a
cheap job of painting, and have it
look good. Here it is: The cheap
est thing there is in the way of a
good-looking job say nothing about
its being goods Devoe; the regu-
lar thing in Devoe.
The reason is: Devoe goes furth-
er than anything else. Lead-and-
oil is good-looking; don't go so far
and costs more. The other paints
are more or less short in one way or
another; don't go so far and costs
more than Devoe.
Devoe costs least of all; you don t
mind its lasting longer, do you?
We can't help it; a paint that goes
further lasts longer; we can't help
it.
Yours truly
