ELECTRICITY IN RAIN DROPS
German Scientist Has Measured the
charge-Descrlbea Results Of His
investigation.

Rain drops are almost always
charged with electricity. The charge
Is often positive. rarely negative.
Many observers have measured the
charge approximately and made It
from $1,000, 900. 900, 600. 000,01 to 0.000..
900. 900. OO0,O 01 amperes per square
centimetre. Prof. f. Herath Of Kiel
describes In the Revue Electrique the
experiments by which he has meas
ured them.
He received the rain on a fine me.
tallic cloth rs metres square insulat.
ed and attached to q galvanometer in
a cellar. The galyanometer registered
photographically. Among the facts he
proves are these:
Rains with a constantly positive
charge are much more frequent than
those that change to a negative. The
passage from a positive to q negative
charge corresponds to q momentary
cessation Of the shower. The quanti-
ty of positive electricity brought by
the rain is fifteen times greater than
that Of the negative. The positive
currents In a steady rainfall are about
0.000, 900, 600, 600. 000.1 amperes per
square centimetre; the negative cur.
rents never exceed $1,000, 600. 000, 0O0,-

SHORT AND SIMPLE G00D-BYS
German Farmers Farewell to Only

Of a Patriot

Going to war in the ase Of at least
one Of the belligerents was a very
simple thing. And here is the proof
Of It compactly presented by Fritz
Muller: CATER Breitenmoser had n
son and one horse. Yesterday they
came and took away his son for the

wasted no words. He clapped his o

said-no more. And his son was
even a trife shorter about 1t. He
said nothing at all. He simply looked
at his father. But what a look! And
then he swung OF at a trot and was
gone.
THAT was yesterday. Today they
came and fetched away CATER Brei-
tenmoser's horse-for the war. The
parting again was at the gate. And
it was confoundedly short. Carter
Breitenmoser wasted NJ words. He
clapped his horse on the shoulder.

And the horse was a trife shorter

CATER Breitenmoser. And then he

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit Of others.
MY mother, since her early child.
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart, for a
number of years and complained Of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago I was making a
visit to a distant part Of the country
and took dinner with n Of tho
merchants Of the place. / noticed a
somewhat unusual favour Of the COT
fee and asked him concerning it. He
replied that 1t was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with 1t that, after
the meal was over. I bought a package
to carry home with me. and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so well pleased
with It that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
4 had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time. she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not 30 frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was well and
hearty.

CHAPTER u.
Ten Years Later.

Zen years Later
His Excellency the chief of staffN Of
the Grays was seldom in his Office. His
Excellency had years, rank, prestige.
The breast Of his uniform sagged with
the weight OF his decorations. He ap.
peared for the army at great func.
tons; his picture was in the shop
windows. Hedworth Westerling, the
new vice-chief of staff, was content
with this arrangement. His years
would not permit him the supreme
honor. This was for q figurehead, while
he had the power.
His appointment to the staff ten
years ago had given him the field he
wanted, the capital itself, for the play
of his abilities. His vital energy, his
impressive personality. his gift for
counting the influences that counted.
whether mans or woman's, his astute
readiness in stepping to some meas
ures that were in keeping with the
times but not with army precedent,
had won for him the goal Of his ambi-
ton. He had passed owe the heads OF
| older men, whom many thought his
hetters rather rutblesslv. Those who
would serve Iovallv he drew around
him; those who were bitter he crowd
cd out of his way.
