Cause Of Thunder.

Thunder is the violent report which
follows a fash of lightning. It COM
mences at the same moment as the
flash; but as the sound travels only at
the rate of about LOO feet a second,
while light does SO at the rate of
about 100000 miles, the fash Of the
lightning is the first to be perceived,
and thus means is afforded of cal
culating the distance of the lightning.
The noise Of the thunder arises from
the disturbance produced in the air
by the electric discharge, but why the
sound should be so prolonged has
been differently explained. The old
hypothesis was that the sound was
echoed from every precipfce. from ev-
cry building, and from every cloud in
the sky Another is that the light
ming is itself series of discharges.

cording to the distance at which it
commences, and the varying densities
of the portions of air which it ira
verses before reaching the ear A
third conjecture is that the noise
arises from the zig-zag movement of
the electric fluid. the air at each
salient angle being at it's maximum
compression, and rebounding from the
flash with effort sufficient to cause
noise.

product to grow through artificial
means. The 70 acres have been sci
entifically drained so that too much
dampness will rot interfere, and all
through the season he nurses his crop.
Last season everything was favor
able to growing the best crop the 70
acres ever produced. Even Mr.. STAN

began to grow recklessly. When the
crop was finally harvested the result
was $4,000 bushels.

The "onion" king" smiles in relating
how he invades even the Texas mar
ket. Down in Texas they irrigate to
raise onions. Sometimes they have to
spend thousands of dollars to irrigate
a few acres. 1t is this cost of irriga-
ton that permits the Ohio onion to
compete with the Texas onion on the
latter's own ground. Up in Hardin
county the Scioto river gratuitously
does what the Texans spend tens Of
thousands in coaxing the Rio Grande
and artesian wells to do.
Mr.. Stambaugh talks of his onion
exploits only in whispers. He will
not tell just how much he made on
that bumper crop last season, but
some estimate that the profits amount
ed to more than $4,000.
