Locating a Thunderstorm

When you see flash of lighting
count the seconds before it thunders and
you can tell how far away the storm is.
Since light travels $4,000 miles a
second, we may for all practical pur-
poses regard ourselves as seeing the
lightning the instant it flashed. But
sound travels only 1,O87 feet a second
Multiply 1,087 by the number of
seconds during the interval between the
flash and the thunder and the result
is the distance between you and the
storm. AS rule from IL to Is miles is
the greatest distance thunder can be
heard.

Grape Crop Large

Despite the rosebugs and various
other insects that have harassed
growers, the Smyrna-Clayton grape belt
promises to yield bumper crop. The
Vineyards are looking fine, the vines give
evidence of fruiting up abundantly and
unless some unforeseen damage is done
that vicinity will hold up its reputation
of being the largest and most prolific
grape producing district in Delaware.
Last year when such a fine prospect
was before the growers, hail storm
visited that section and cut the fruit so
badly that many of the culturists lost
thousands of dollars,

that if they walk in their sleep they

Some fellow started a silly bunch
of photographic information or misin-
formation which is being printed in
every paper in the State until one is
sick of seeing it, The first paragraph
reads: do you know that four per
cent. of the inhabitants of certain sec
tions of the South have malaria?" Yes
and we know that in many portions
of the South there is absolutely no ma
laria; also that in certain sections of
the North four cent of the inhabitants
have malaria But let the average
person. who never analyses a state
ment. carelessly read this paragraph
and the impression is conveyed to his
mind that the South is a hot-bed OF
malaria. We do not see why Southern
newspapers give space to such state
important.
