EXPLAINS NOISE OF THUNDER
Modern Science Asserts the Sound 10
Caused by Series Of
Explosions.

There have been great many diff
ferent theories about the cause OF
the noise we call thunder. Some
savage nations think it is caused by
the clouds knocking together in
storm and making spark, like two
pieces of flint, with cracking
sound at the same time. Not long
ago, when electricity first began to
be understood, many persons be-
lieved that the lightning made a
hole in ths air as it passed along
and that to, rush of air to fill up
this vacuum caused the noise, just
as it is caused by the air rushing
back into the vacuum in a big can
non.
The more modern theory, based
on some remarkable experiments
with very fluffy cotton that was
made damp, is that the intense heat
of the electrical discharge instantly
turns the surrounding vapor of the
clouds into steam and causes an ex-
plosion as sudden and fierce as gun
powder. It is the number and di-
versity of these explosions that
makes the cracking sound we hear
when the thunder is close to us,
which would not be the case if the
cause were the air rushing into q
single vacuum, as that would make
only one big bang, just like can
non.

0sTRIcHES DRIVEN IN FLOCK
Australian Farmer Had Little Diff
Guilty In Transferring Birds a Con-
siderable Distance.

A recent demonstration has prov
en- that ostriches may be driven
from place to place as successfully as
sheep, cattle or horses. The expert
ment was made by a New South
Wales ostrich farmer, who desired to
transfer his fine flock of 20 ostriches
from his farm at Temora to an irri-
cation area he had secured under
the state at Yanco--a distance Of IS
miles. The birds had to be driven
a considerable portion of the dis
tance, to be trucked by train for
the remainder Of the journey. The
result of the experiment which was
conducted by careful, experienced
drovers, showed that the ostriches
proved easier to handle, if anything,
than sheep, the method adopted be-
ing to push them from behind. Many
people imagine that an ostrich will
kick if interfered with, and that
consequently it is dangerous to get
behind one, but though they do
kick, they kick forward, like COW.
They can be pushed from behind
with perfect safety. The birds we're
considerably alarmed by barking
dogs enroute, and horses were equal
ly frightened of them, but there was
no mishap.
