Thunderstorms.

Do not imagine that because a heavy
thunderstorm is far away to leeward
it is not likely to arise and wet you.
Even If the wind is blowing right
against the cloud 1t will come your
way all the more surely. for thunder
storms always travel against the wind
The reason for this Is that there is in
variably commencement Of air above
the breeze that you feel close TO the
earth, and this sky high wind blows in
the opposite direction to the one which
alone you can detect Thus the tenn
pest seems to work its way right
through the winds eyes in very con-
traiy sort Of way. Fog never does this:
neither does ordinary rain-at least
very seldom-but snow or sleet some
times works its way up wind just as
the tempest does. Sheet lightning. by
the way, is not a distinctive sort of
light but merely the reflection in the
sky of forked fash many miles away.
You can tell how far away a tempest
is by counting the number of seconds
that pass between the fash and the
peal. Each second stands for about
mile.-New York Herald.
