Water2outs.

a Eaterspout1 a miniature tornado
originating IN strong upward draft
Of air which occurs above the surface
Of a body Of comparatively warm Wa
ter. Its effect first becomes visible in a
circular motion at the point in the
clouds to which it ascends. This be-
comes a whirl, which col6enses the
vapor ae~its center, causing the por-
ton Of the cleud there to drop down
ward in the shape OF a gigantic jelly
bag. At the same time tie con. ..inuirs
upward draft increases the Taps6ity OF
its original swirl and the condensed
:Yapor caught within it until the
ascending and descending masses join
to form the waterspout- Necessarily
by this process the ar beneath the
spout is rarefed, and thus where the
phenomenon occurs at sea the water
always seems to be sucked up ito It.
although this IS not really the case to
any considerable extent For similar
reasons where a waterspout or lorna
do passes over a building it does most
Of its damage by exhaustng the air
outside, causing what IS within TO e2-
pand and blow the structure to pieces

FORCE OF LIGHTNING.
An Ordinary Stroke Is About Equal 70


An Ordinary Stroke Is About Equal 70
Fifty Thousand Horsepower.
Frequently surprise is expressed at
the effect Of a stroke Of lightning
which spinters large tree or wrecks
a tall chimney. but II the enormous
power developed by an ordinary stroke
Of lightning is taken into considera-
ton the wonder will be that the effect
is so small.
Scientists estimate that an 'sorGi-
nary" stroke Of lightning is Of 10000
horsepower. That is force sufficient to
drive the largest battleship ever built
at top speed The lightning stroke,
however, travels at q speed Of 1S6O00
miles per second. We think we see q
fash Of lightning, but as matter os
fact what we see is only the memory
Of fash. The electrical current has
been absorbed by the earth long before
we are conscious Of having seen the
fash. 4 person struck by direct
fash would never see it.
The average electromotive force Of q
"bolt" Of lightning is about 3,5OO,3Oo
volts, and the current is 100000 am
peres. In such tfbolt' there is energy
equal to 2,450,OO0 volts, or 3,2S4.7s2
horsepower. Some day wizard will
arise who will capture and bind a
tbolt" Of lightning and with it turn all
the wheels of 9 GREAT city.
The time required for the discharge
Of q 3sbolt" Of lightning is about one
twenty-thousandth Of a second.-Chi-

WHISTLER IN A RAGE.
Lady Meux Made Him Fairly Splutter
With AnGer.

With Anger.
Whistler painted three portraits OF
Lady Meux, one Of which, the Sable
Picture Of Lady Meux," is missing:
That one was the third for which
Lady Meux sat to the eccentric. artist.
The other two are described in the
Pencils life Of the artist as amcng
his most distinguished portraits. Lady
Meux ''was handsome, Of more luxu-
RANT type than the women who usual
ly sat to him. and he found for her
harmonies appropriate to her beauty.
Tho first was an Arrangement In
White and Black which few people
have seen. There is sumptuousness
in the black Of the shadowy back
ground and the velvet gown, in the
white Of the fur Of the long cloak,
that Whistler never surpassed WINS
tier was pleased with it and spoke OF
it as his beautiful Black Lady. Lady
Meux was so well satisfied that she at
once sat for a second portrait. This
time tie harmony was in Flesh Col
or and Pink afterward changed to
Pink and Gray"
The missing portrait was smaller.
So far as the artists biosraphers
could find out, it was never finished.
The explanation is probably to be
found in this story, quoted in the
"Life" from Mr.. Harper Pennington:
'sThe only time I saw Jimmy Stump
ed for a reply was at sitting Of
Lady Meux for the portrait in sables).
For some reason Jimmy became nerv.
Gus exasperated and impairment.
Touched by something he had said, her
ladyship turned softly toward him and
remarked quite softly, See here, Jimmy
Whistler, you keep civil tongue IN
that head Of yours or I will have in
some one to finish those portraits you
have made Of mer with the faintest
emphasis on finish Jimmy fairly
danced with rage. BE came up to
Lady Meux. his long brush tightly
srasped and actually QuiVering in his
hand, held tight against his side. he
stammered: spluttered and finally
gasped out: How dare you? how
care your But that, after all, was
not an answer, was it? Lady Meuz
did not sit again. Jimmy never spoke
Of the incident afterward, and was
sorry to have witnessed 1t"

Nothing to Do.

The following bit, quoted from Lord
Crome- by Helen Barrett Montgomery
in her western Women In Eastern
Lands" presents a picture Of the mo-
notony and deprivation Of the life Of
the Egyptian lady that pages Of statis-
tics might fail to convey: The seclu-
sion Of women exercises most bane-
ful influence on eastern society This
seclusion by confning the sphere Of
:woman's interest to q very limited ho-
rizon cramps the intellect and withers
the mental development Of one-haf the
population Of Moslem countries.
An Engishwoman once asked an
Egyptian Lady how she passed her
tine.
II sit on this sofa,' she replied, "and
when I am Gred I cross over and sit
on that"
