Islands In the tropical or semi-trop-
ical seas furnish ideal conditions for
rats, and in many instances they have
increased until they have become In

ruin Of the Inhabitants. On one sugar
cane plantation In Puerto Rico 25,OOO
rats were killed In less than six
months.
In Jamaica an effort was made to
suppress them by introducing the mon
goose, which resulted In the establish

why does a heavy downpour of rain
often follow clap of thunderf asks
the Popular Science Monthly, and gives
this answer: Not, as is popularity be-
lieved, because the thunder jostles the
cloud particles together into raindrops
In the violent turmoil between the pos
tive and negative electricity In q
thundefcloud there will be places
where the production Of drops by con-
densatiOn and their subsequent break
ing up proceeds more rapidly than else
where. Hence In these places there
will be more drops to fall as rain and
also more identification, the rainfall
occurring about the same time as the
fash.
We have. then. starting toward the
earth at the same time, light, sound and
raindrops. The light, travelling at a
speed Of about $4,000 miles per sec.
Ond, reaches US almost instantly. The
sound travels far more slowly-about
1000 feet per second-but the rain falls
much more slowly still. Thus we oh
serve. first, the lightning, then the thun
der and then the rain.

VELDT MARKS ITS JEWELLERS
Doomed to Live In Plain Of
British South Africa.

Before the Boer war there was q
saying current among the Beers OF
South Africa that you could always
recognize a man who had spent five
years on the veldt. This was q saying
no less true then than now, for the
veldt Is a place of great silence and
loneliness and it leaves its mark on
those who dwell In it.
The veldt is the great plain of what
is now British South Africa, the limit.

call kopjes, pierced and gashed by
rain-washed gullies that run their

lied to the German word for "world'
or universe" and the relationship is
something more than mere coinci.
dence. To the man standing In the
midst Of this plain it seems to extend
in every direction to the outermost
limits of space.
The veldt is without sound or color
without striking features to catch the
eye. A days trek among low hills
covered with gray grass, plods wear
lily through mile after mile of the same
hills, and ends in a dry valley as like
the valley Of the morning as one pea
is like another. After few days of
this the traveller wonders II his prog.
ress Is not mere Illusion, If he Is not
returning day after day to the same
spot.
Now and again the monotony Is
broken by some veldt farm, a place of
exceeding loneliness for the exiles who
till 1t. There will be a farmhouse, a
barn, kraal, well and a few huts
for the kaffirs. To the railroad may
be distance of anywhere from 20 to
70 miles. Half the year the roads are
impossible. The little community
must be sufficient unto itself. Life on
veldt farm is a severe test Of the
inner resources of man or woman.

Qaaart of Sahara.

At one time, some twoscore years
ago, some Englishmen proposed to DIG
a canal on the northwest coast Of AZ
RIGA. south Of Morocco, to admit the
waters of the Atlantic into the Sahara
desert 1t was argued that a grea,
inland sea would thus be created and
that ocean vessels might steam into
Africa and pick up cargoes along the
western Sudan. This fine idea was
based upon the prevalent notion thai
most of the desert surface was much
below sea level. 1t was discovered
later that most Of the desert stands
high above the sea. The French, who
have been. the greatest explorers Of the
desert, have corrected other false ideas
about the desert. The most conspic-
uous and persistent Of these errors has
been the notion that the desert is s
vast area of sand. The French have
proved that this is not So In fact, only
about one-fifth Of the Sahara is GOV.

there are few human passions not
shared In by the dog. The dog Is sub
ject to anger, jealousy, hatred, envy,
love and grief. and 1t shows gratitude,
pride, courage, generosity and fear. 1t

troubles, and there are numerous cases
on record where dogs have rendered
the most valuable kind Of service at
great risk to their own safety and COM
