The Part Electricity 10 Said to Play
In Thor Formation.
The formation OF hail through elec
trical action, according to the theory OF
scientists attached to the weather bu
reau at Washington. is an interesting
and even wonderful process.
The wind draws out cloud into q
long narrow strip. In that form, ow-
Ing to the great amount OF surface eI
rapidly. and the rapid evaporation pro.
duces intense cold. Dry particles of
snow are then formed, and these, by
friction with the water drops, quickly
become charged with negative cleo
tricity. But the water drops them
selves carry positive electricity, and,
since negative attracts positive, n film
OF water Is formed upon each snow
particle and is instantly frozen into q
layer OF Ice.
At this thickness Its outer surface re-
mains moist, thee water not freezing
there so rapidly, whereupon the cleo
trical charge changes from negative to
positive. and the particle Is repelled by
the water drops and driven to the outer
parts OF the cloud Here the increased
cold covers II with snow again, and
friction charges II anew with negative
electricity. Repulsion Is now once
more changed for attraction, and the
particles rush back into the cloud, re-
ceiving upon their surfaces another
film OF water, which Is turned into sec.
ond Ice layers.
Thus the growing hailstone darts zig
gag through the Clouds piling up its
alternate layers of snow and ice until
gravitation gains control and sends It,

IS A new ExTINGUISHER
FOR The CHIMNEY FIRES
Fire Department at Appleton Has a
. Successful and Simple Method
in Vogue.

There has been considerable
contention in Bemidji during the
past year, relative to chimney
fires and the danger Of serious
confagration following this kind
OF a fire, and the calling out Of
the fire department. There is a
simple and easy way of stopping
"a chimney fire, which has been
used by the fire department. of
Appleton, Mimi, and which
might be tried by the citizens Of
Bemidj in case Of a too heated
chimney.
A resident of Appleton, in
commenting on the success of
the plan used in that place, says:
1.-The q uickest, surest, easiest
and most effective way to stop a
chimney fire is to take a large
wet cloth and wind it around the
stovepipe just above the stove.
The moisture from the cloth
forms a cloud of steam inside
the pipe which raises and
smothers the fire in the chimney
almost at once. This method
has proven effective in the case of
a fire so fierce that the stovepipe
all the way from the stove to the
chimney was red hot and was
never known to fail. The scheme
was worked out by the fire de-
partment of Appleton from a
pointer received in a casual OBJ
servation and is now in use in
the Appleton fire department to
the exclusion of 'lxall other
methods. The chief beauty of
the plan is it's simplicity and the
ease with which it can be used
by anyone Simply saturate a
large cloth with water, wind it
around the stovepipe at any
point where it is hot, the hotter
the better, and the steam gen
Grated by this inside will do the
rest
