A FLASH OF LIGHTNING.
Enormous Force Required to Break

Enormous Force Required to Brsal
Down Air Pressure.
Charles p. Steinmetz, the electrical
genius, once took pad and pencil and
figured out the horsepower Of a light
ming flash. This In itself Is no small
task, but it is as nothing. to this elsc-
trtcal wizard, who IL ratecDas the fore
most mathematician in the world,
Once upon time Steinmetx was In
camp. and his active mind began work
Ing on an important problem which
called for a table Of logarithms. Tho
nearest textbook was many miles away.
but Steinmetz did not worry. He sat
down and made new table, figuring It
out himself with no apparent great Of.
fort.
The amount Of light given by a sin
gle lightning fash is suff1cient to illu-
inmate an area two miles square with
an average illumination OF one candle.
To produce such an illumination, flg.
ured Steinmetz. would require the ex.
penditure Of 1900 horsepower for one
second. These figures are large, but
the time is very short
Lightning flashes usually occur with.

and only mrely come from the clouds
to the ground. They seem to follow
the rapid condensation of vapor In the
air 1t requires nearly 750OO volts OF
electricity to break down one inch Of
air space. or a million volts per foot
Even II the clouds are only thousand
feet above the ground. It will take
more than thousand million volts to
break down the mir resistance ahead Of
the thunderholt. 1t is this enormous
voltage. or electrical pressure, which
makes the lightning fash so destruc-
tive.

Buy 1t Now

"Buy 1t Now" That is the
slogan Of national campaign,
un que in character and far
reaching in results as it affects
the general prosperity Of the
country which has been inau-
gurated for the purpose of in
ducing purchases Of goods now
which must of necessity be
bought in the spring months
The campaign is general in
it's requests and is directed to
every ope. Especial attention,
however, is being directed to
the purchase of heavy mer-
chandise, such as farm machin-
cry, building materials and
other things which are usually
bought during the spring.
BY buving now that which
must be bought later, general
business activity will be materi-
ally increased and everyone
will feel the beneficial effects.
Jobbing houses will be working
under full force ard factories
will be working full time with
full help. In this way many
men who are now out of work
will be given employment and
many families, who are in need
Of the actual necessities of life
will be provided for.
The campaign does not sug-
gest indiscriminate or unneces-
sary buying. But it does sug-
gest economic buying and in
sists upon buying now things
that must be bought later.
The campaign should meet
with especial favor from the
farmers of the United States.
Government statistics just is-
sued show that the farmers are
more prosperous today than
they have ever been--the 1914
output from farms exceeded
that Of last year by more than
eighty.three million dollars
and that while the farmers are
showing a enndly margin Of
profit, the merchant and manu-
facturer are having a hard
time making ends meet. They
will buy many things in the
spring hut II they will buy
them now, factories will be
running full blast and they can
do asseFvice to humanity ..,..
S. Nsssiith = general buying of'
necessary merchandise, bust
ness conditions would ma
terially improve, unsettled con-
ditions would be lessened and
confidence would be restored
much sooner than under pres
ent conditions.
