pessr q . Lightning Flash.

It Il hardly possible to . instru-
mento FOR the purpose Of figuring tn
force Of lightning. yet there are many
other why's Of calculating familiar %

light given BY q single lightning nasn
II enough to illuminate an area two
miles square. The bolt itself would be
visible several miles farther on. but the
remotest part Of the region mentioned
would have rs much light as would be
given BY a candle. quite enough TO read
BY. To produce such q light 1t would
be necessary to expend $4,000 horse
power for 4 second. These figures ap-
pear very large. bu, the time Is short.
The dash might be only n one-thoo-
sandth part Of a second. but the I'M
preston on the eye would continue for
a tenth Of a second anyway. Figured
down to an exact hour. this amount OF
force would mean only about four
horsepower Electric News.

WINTER ,ME

II A frosty. fiery sleepy head;
Blinks but an hour or two and then.
A blood red orange, sets again.

skies
At morning in the dark I rise
And, shivering in my nakedness,
BY the cold candle, battle and dress.
CLOSE by the jolly fire I sit
~ To warm my frozen bones q bit
Or, with q reindeer sled, explore
The colder countries round the door.
WHEN to go out my nurse doth
w wrap
Me in my comforter and cap
The cold wind burns my face and
blows
Its frosty pepper up my nose.
RLACK are my steps on silver
- sod,
Thick blows my frosty breath
abroad.
And tree and house and hill and
lake
Are frosted like a wedding cake.
