at n rate, that lightning is the cleo

masses oppositely electrified. Every
little particle of moisture in the air car;

coalesce in a loud their electricity col

ton is between the surcharged loud
and an object on the ground, a terrific
bolt passing between the earth and the
sky will relieve the electric strain with
out regard to the well being of any
creature that stands in the way.
"A lightning flash often darts for miles
through the air. 1t begins with a dis
charge between two adjacent Particles.
The next particle receives the shock
and transmits it to it's nearest neigh
Dor. and thus it rushes on. zigzagging
along the line of least resistance, until
the unbalanced energies are restored

to its embrace wherever it finds it.

photographs prove that the path Of the
discharge is a waving line. No dis

reached the breaking point, 4. e., the
point where the resistance of the air
can no longer restrain the force OF the
gathering charge.
What might be called the inner
structure Of a lightning stroke is a
marvel. Professor Henry proved that
every stroke is an alternating current,
the oscillations occupying u a few
millionths Of a second, while the du-
ration of the flash may be consid-

Terrific strokes sometimes occur II

Syria. A lightning stroke entered the
great V of the Benedictines in
the valley of the river Ems and killed
two young priests at the altar. A
philosopher who CHANGED to be in a
castle on a rock above the v saw
what happened. Even the gilded cross
on the convent was above the fatal
cloud. But 1000 feet above that cloud
lowered another. invisible from below.
and between the two the lightning
played, only it was the lower cloud
that bombarded the upper one.

HOG CHOLERA.

From the Chicago Drover Journal
The University of Minnesota agricul-
tural experiment station has issued bulle-
lin No. 113 containing a compilation Of the
work that has been performed at the sta
zion in the treatment Of hog cholera. The
question of the control and eradication OF
;log cholera comes under state and fed
eral supervision. The attitude of breed
ers toward this dread disease that inficts
such heavy losses to the live stock indus
try in the western states is worthy of at
tention. The government is not justified
In ignoring a contagious disease which an
nually subjects farmers to enormous
losses. and many states are now working
beth to control the spread as we'll as to
minimize the ravages Of hog cholera. To
eXternrinate the disease would save mill
lions of dollars to the farmers every year
and confer a great benefit to the meat
producing industry.
The bulletin contains the results OF ex-
periments in treatment of hog cholera at
the Minnesota experiment station. The
source Of the disease is a germ so small
as to be quite invisible and capable Of
passing through even a porcelain filter.
1t requires the highest powers of the mi
croscope to discover the bacillus of hog
cholera. Hogs become injected by ex-
posure to the germs of the disease, which
are found in stock yards, live stock cars
and grounds inoculated by the refuse Of
sick hogs. One Of the greatest sources Of
Infection is the manure excreted from
cholera hogs.
Minnesota has revised its laws on live
stock sanitation to eradicate hog cholera
The law requires when any animal is dis
covered to be sick with a contagious dis
ease the outbreak shall Immediately be
reported to the local health officer and the
latter within "a hours is required to noti-
fy the state live stock sanitary board.
This includes hog cholera, as we'll as CLAN
ders, tuberculosis and other infectious and
contagious diseases. The law requires
tina animals that die of contagious dis
eases shall be buried under three feet OF
dirt. It Is a violation of law to allow
sick animals to run at large and the law
also prohibits the Importation OF hogs into
the state for either breeding or feeding
purposes, except upon a certificate OF
health and freedom from exposure before
shipping.
Hogs hat have recovered from an at
tack of cholera are immune to the dis
ease. There are hogs that pass through
an epidemic Of the sickness and are not
affected by the contagion. Such animals
are natural inmunes. Immune hogs are
tnoculated with the blood of animals sick
with cholera and become h~yperimmune.
and such treated hogs furnish the serum
with which other hogs are rendered im-
mune by vaccination. The bulletin cites
numerous successful treatments Of hogs
by serum from immune animals at the sta
ton and shows that science has discov.
cred an antidote for hog cholera.
