Electricity Plays a Part
 in the Formation of Hail
 According to One Theory

The formation of hail through cleo an interesting and even wonderful process. The wind draws out a cloud into a long, narrow strip. In that form, owing to the great amount of surface exposed to the air, the cloud evaporates rapidly, producing intense cold.
 Dry particles of snow are then formed and these. by friction with water drops. quickly become charged with negative electricity. But the water drops carry positive electricity, and since negative attracts positive film of water is formed upon each snow particle and is instantly frozen into a layer of ice.
 At this thickness it's outer surface remains moist, the water not freezing so rapidly there, whereupOn the cleo tric charge changes from negative to positive and the particle is repelled by the water drops and driven to the outer parts of the cloud. Here the increased cold covers it with snow, and friction charges it anew with negative cleo tricity. .- .: >..
 Repulsion is now once more changed for attraction, and the particle rushes back into the cloud, receiving upon It's surface another film of water, which is turned into second ice layer.
 Thus the growing hailstone darts zigzag through the cloud. piling up its alternate layers of snow and ice, until gravitation gains control and sends 1t with jingling crowd Of It's fellows spinning to the ground.

TarantuIas Construct Their
 Burrows and Nest in Ground

Tarantulas are plentiful in the rough, broken country in the southern parf of California. They are repnlsive- looking creatures, with fat, hairy bod ies. overplentiful wiry legs and cruel poison mandibles.. They stay in their burrows during the dry season. but as soou as the rains begin they sally forth. The tarantula constructs very skiTIful burrow and nests in the ground. 1t has a cover so nicely fitted that it can scarcely be detected from the surrounding soil. The cover opens and shuts upon a hinge and on the inside are holes into which the occu- pant thrusts its mandfbles and thus "holds the fort'' against !ntruders.

Kidney disease is no respecter of per sons. A majority of the ills afflicting people today can be traced back to the kidney trouble.
 The kidneys are the most important organs of the body. They are the fil- terers of your blood. If the poisons which are swept rom the tissues by the blood are not eliminated through the kidneys, disease oi one form or another will claim you as a victim.
 Kidney disease is usually indicated by weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness, despondency, backache, stomach trou- ble, pain in loins and lower abdomen, gall stones, gravel, rheumatism. sciatica and lumbago.
