THE SCHOOL PIG.

The department Of agriculture advocating the for
nation of pig clubs in schools The the
school children buy a young pig. persuade some
generous farmer to give them and then raise the
pig themselves thereby adding pork supply and
reaping profit which used buy books pic
lures for their schoolhouse.
The plan naturally applies only country schools
have good sized lots The children are expected
grow forage crops the school ground. and con-
tribute garbage to exc out the pigs
The thing actually tried in various schools.
SAYS the department, and with excellent effect the
children themselves
Those schools which have had PIGS found an added

children Attendance improved. Lessons were studied
because more interesting principles agri-
culture brought wildly before children.
The parents patrons the schools became greatly
interested. and a more neighborly community spirit
developed which often resulted progressive

Who would have imagined that pig could so i'm

Please explain thunder ana
lightning. In a thunderstorm do
we hear two separate and distinct
sounds, or only one ?"-H. X, New
ark
Lightning is a gigantic electric
spark. or discharge. whose essential
indemnity with the sparks produced
by an electric machine was first
proved by our great representative
American. Benjamin Franklin. The
source Of atmospheric electricity IS
ultimately in the sunheams. In the
mower and reach or It's stroke lies
the main difference between fash
Of lightning and a spark made in a
laboratory. A kerry powerful Undue
ton coil may produce a spark over
30 inches i'm length. With hydro
electric machine sparks have been
made as much as FIVE or six feet
long.
From a metallic string attached
10 a kite. sparks nine feet long have
been drawn from the clouds. This
last may be called a specimen of
tanned lightning But when we turn
70 free lightning playing untra M
meled in its element the power dis
plaved and the distances covered
become prodigious and truly terri
fving We find ourselves no longer
dealing with inches or feet, but with
miles, Petit a Toulouse, meas
u1ed some lightning flashes that
we're 1917 miles in length. Arago
measured others whose length var
led from seven 20 eight miles. And
generally. il may be said that a
lightning stroke is several miles
long.
Merely to reach the earth, per-
pendicularly. from the average
height OF a thunder cloud II must
traverse a half miie of air. Light
ming has been seen playing from
clouds as high as FIVE miles above
Paris. When II flashes, as il usually
does. from cloud 70 cloud, it may
span almost incredible distances
Yet the average duration OF a light
ming stroke is only one hundred
thousandth OF a second.
Sometimes. however. the dis
charge is oscillatory, and then the
total duration OF visibility Is in
creased. The luminous impress on
on the eve is also prolonged De-
vond the actual duration Of the
fash by the phenomenon called per
sistence OF vision-a phenomenon
that makes the moving picture a
possibility.
Thunder has essentially the same
/ origin as the roar OF a cannon. II
is due 10 the disturbance Of the ali
BY the violent passage Of the light
ming. The fash, by heating the air
causes a sudden expansion. with
/ compression all around, followed by
an equally sudden and violent rush
/ OF the air back into the partial
vacuum formed by the expansion
/ This shocking OF the air produces
powerful waves Of sound. II rhe

clap. If its path be a long one. and
not straight. he will hear the suo-
cessive sounds one after another.
echoes from other clouds will come
with a characteristic rattle, and the
rolling in long afterward."
This difference in the time of ar
rival of the sounds from "A long
crooked lightning fash is accounted
for by the fact that the duration of
the lightning, and the speed of the
light waves bringing its impress
sion to the eye. are practically in
Simultaneous, while sound waves
travel through air only about LOO
feet in a second. 1t is a popular
saying that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place, but, in fact,
several successive flashes may follow
ne another along the same path.
and Prof Thompson has explained
this by suggesting that the first flash
ionizes the air, thus producing a bet
ter conducting tract for its success
sors.
This, however, applies only TO
flashes occurring rapidly one after
another, for the ionized track can
not long endure. But local condi e
tons sometimes exist which cause
certain places. or objects TO be
peculiarly liable 10 be struck by
lightning whenever a thunderstorm
passes.
Tall. Isolated trees are generally
regarded as particularly apt TO be
struck by lightning but something
depends upon the condition of their
surroundings. and il has been
thought, though not. perhaps. abso-
lutely proved. that different species
Of trees vary in their attraction for
lightning. Some European stats
tics give the liability TO lightning
stroke Of certain common trees in
the following ratio: Oaks 81, frs
30. pines 5. beeches 1. Other sta
tistics likewise tend 10 show that the
beech possesses an apparent i'm
munity from lightning, though the
reason is not known. In all investi
cations of this curious subject the
oak shows the greatest liability and
the beech the least. Poplars and
pear trees have also been given a
bad reputation IN some reports.
The soil undoubtedly has much 20
DO with the matter In Germany
the liability Of various soils 70
lightning stroke has been found 20
be in the following ratio: Loan p,
sand 2, clay :, chalk /.
A practical question is as 20 the
relative danger Of various exposed
points during thunderstorm.
There appears 20 De some doubt
whether, as has usually been sup
posed. il is safer 10 be in an open
field than under Il tree. the later
statistics showing a slightly larger
percentage OF fatal strokes in the
open than under trees. In a forest
the danger IS less than under a
single tree. II is far less in cities
than in the country. The neigh
borhood OF water should be avoided
When rain is falling the electricity
from the clouds Is drawn down
harmlessly. Lightning rods. when
properly constructed. also draw
of the electric charges. IL is an
other great feather In Franklin s
cap that he hrst suggested the use
OF lightning rods and explained how
they would act
