SILENT THUNDERBoLrs.

In general way We uuderstano tne
theory Of thuuderstorms. As a matter OF
fact that there Ia no phenomenon of Ds'
ture, not excepting even earthquakes, oil

Map-made lightning-that is, elec'
triciiy of the highest power which we
can sriiRcaIlY produce. act according
to certain known laws. 1t will, for in
stance, travel along a conductor OF
metal.
Bat fash Of lighting will frfq1ent'y
leap from well.de6ned metal path and
launch itself through the air or some
sdjsceut object which is an Infinitely
poorer conductor.
This may be due to the almost incon-
ceivsble force of faah OF lightning.
II ia estimated that a fssh of lightning
q mile long represents pressure OF dis
charge equal to 5000, 900, 900 volts.
AS such a fash lasts only about
the thousaBdth port of second, the
energy dsslpst,d by the discharge is
equal to 100000 horsepower. Put it In
other wcrcs, If we could find some means
of saving and using lightning we should
be the richer by 81, 1000 for every fash.
Lightning is, SIS We know, usually ac-
ompanied by peal of thunder. which Is

After paying his expenses to that

the party whom he supposed was to
honor the employment demand re-
fused to recognize him or have any
thing to do with him.
He says that there were no signs
OF the lucrative position promised him
and that he was compelled to pay
heavy expenses for board and room
while waiting for something to turn
up. He says that men running around
the town with employment agency
