seant Praise for verdrs Music.

An English critic said Of Rigoletto
when it reached London in 1858:
There is little offensive music in
Rigoletto; the ears are schooner
stunned than in most of the COM
poser's other works and there is, we
fancy, less pretense in the writing
Nevertheless Verdi's sins are apparent
in every scene. Poverty Of ideas, an
eternal effort at originality-never ac-
complished-strange and odd phrases,
lack of coloring. and perpetual swag-
ger in the dramatic effects, are unmis-
takably true Verdi. Yet there are airs
melodies If you within Rigoletto,
which are sure to find favor with the
barrel organs"

How Raindrops Make the Lightning.

How Raindrops Make the Lightning.
An English scientist declares that
the splitting of raindrops in falling
through the ascending air currents,
which are characteristic of thunder
storms, is the source of the lightning.
The small drops with negative charges
go up with the wind while large ones
with positive charges stay below.
Thus during a thunderstorm there is
usually a region of positive electricity
between the positive earth and the
negative upper portion. When the
charge has become sufficient a series
of direct current discharges usually
take place along approximately the
same line and these produce what we
see as lightning flash.
