ODD FACT ABOUT LIGHTNING
Observer of Electrical Phenomena Un-
able to Tell Direction Binding
Flash Comes From.

Sitting in a dark room at night with
lightning lit storm coming on, the
observer of the electrical phenomena
will be unable to tell from which of
the compass points a binding flash
comes, even if the room have four win
dows to the four points of the COM
pass. This, of course, provided the
shades be lowered sufficiently for the
possible bolt to escape the eye. The
roll of thunder following the fash will
be the first intimation the observer
has of the storm direction.
Especially Is this fact marked after
the rain is falling heavily and when
the rain drops become refiectors of
the light, giving the effect Of sheet
lightning. At such times when the
skies seem sheets of flame, one may
observe how this reflected light pene-
trates to every corner of a room with
a brilliance not equaled by summer
sunlight. The sunlight, coming in di-
rect rays into a room, leaves its shad-
ow spots. The reflected light Of the
lightning stroke leaves the ceiling and
the floor equally nlumined. Even the
smallest object may be picked up from
under bed or other furniture q little
raised above the floor

Teach Children to PLAY.

A full-time course in play and re-
creation, under the direction of
George Ellsworth Johnson, formerly
superintendent @ the Pittsburgh
Playground association, Is announced
In recent special bulletin Of the
New York School OF Philanthropy.
''The beginning Of the present CEN
tury," says the bulletin, in explaining
the need Of such teachers, has been
marked by civic, social and educa-
tional movement, which has progress
ed with wonderful rapidity. This is
the movement for normal, healthful
play life Of the people. This Is the
modern Renaissance, the Renaissance
OF play. Repeatedly in the history OF
the world the spirit Of play has pre-
coded, or marked. a period of great
human advancement, as in the period
OF the glory OF Athens, the age of
Lorenzo in Florence, the rise of chiv-
airy, and the awakening Of the Faith
erland."

WOMEN IN CLIMBING FEAT
Scale Mt. Washington Summit Over
Dangerous Trestle-Ascent Was
Result of a Wager.

Bretten Woods, N. H-Climbing to
the summit of Mount Washington
over the dangerous trestle Of the
Mountain railway in the darkness
Mrs. w. G. Honford and Mrs. Beatrice
Recknadel of New York accomplished
a feat never before undertaken, 1t ia
said, by their sex. The ascent was
made as the result Of wager.
With high wind blowing and no
lights to guide them, the task Of the
climbers in crossing over the lofty
Jacobs ladder trestle was regarded
as extremely perilous. AS soon as
roalroad officials heard that they had
started up the mountains, men With
lanterns were sent after them to
dissuade them from the attempt, but
were unable to overtake them until
they were close to the summit.
The two women reached the noun
tain top about ten o'clock, making
the distance of five miles in four
hours and a half. They remained at
the house there until morning, when
Mrs Honford's husband arrived in his
motor car and took them back to their
hotel
