HOW HAlLsTONES ARE FORMED
According to Theory, Electrical Action
10 Responsible for Storms That
Frequently Do Damage.

The formation Of hail through cleo
trical action, according to one theory,
Is an interesting and even wonderful
process. The wind draws out q 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 form
ed. and these. by friction with the wa
ter drops, quickly become charged with
negative electricity. But the water
drops carry positive electricity, and
since negative attracts positive a flm
OF water 10 formed upon each snow
particle and - instantly frozen into
a layer Of thin Ice.
At this thickness its outer surface
remains moist. the water not freezing
30 rapidly there, whereupon the cleo
trical charge changes from negative to
positive and the particle is repealed by
the water drops and driven to the
outer parts Of the cloud. Here the in
creased cold covers 1t with snow, and
friction charges 1t anew with negative
electricity.
Repulsion Is now once more changed
for attraction, and the particle rushes
back into the cloud, receiving upon its
surface another film Of water, which
Is turned into a second ice layer.
Thus the growing hailstone darts
zig-zag through the cloud, piling up Its
alternate layers of snow and Ice, until
gravitation gains control and sends it
with jingling crowd Of its fellows
spinning to the ground.

Changes in Times Reckoning.

So perfect was the Julian style of
reckoning that it prevailed generally
among the Christian nations and re-
manned undisturbed till the minutes
had amounted in 1882 to ten complete
days. the vernal equinox falling on
the 18th instead Of the 21st Of March,
This shifting of days has caused great
disturbance by unfixing the times of
the celebration of Easter, and hence
Of all the movable feasts, and accord
ingly Pope Gregory, with the aid of
Clavius, the astronomer, ordained that
ten days should be deducted from the
year 1882 by calling what would have
been the 9Th Of October according to
the old calendar, the 18th Of October,
1882, by the new one. 1t was further
ordained that every hundredth year
should not be counted as a leap year,
excepting every fourth hundredth be-
ginning with 1900. In this way the
difference between the civil and natu-
raj year will not amount to day In
5000 years.

CAMERA DID EFFECTIVE WORK

owner Of Melon Patch Almost as

One Of the Companions subscribers
who was interested in our recent ar
ticle telling how the police had been
able to make arrests through the I'M
expected revelations of the camera
tells of an incident In which the cam
era did very efficient detective. duty.
A farmer who owned a particularly
fne crop Of melons was very much
disturbed because someone had been
stealing from his field. For several
evenings he watched but could not
gain any clue to the identity Of the
culprit. More nights went by and
more melons disappeared. Finally, in
his evaporation, the farmer contrived
trap. He selected the largest, most
attractive melon, tied one end of q
string to the stem and attached the
other to flashlight apparatus and a
camera, concealed In the shrubbery at
the edge Of the garden. He set the
camera and flashlight so that slight
pull on the melon would fire the flash
light and snap the shutteS.
The next morning he found that the
f1ashlight had been exploded; and so
he Immediately developed the plate.
TO his establishment 1t revealed one Of
his much-respected neighbOrs in the
act of cutting off the melon stem! At
loss to know just how to deal with
this delicate situation. he finally
evolved plan. He made n print of
the negative on a postcard and mailed
1t to the neighbOr In question. Need
less to say. all melon stealing ceased
ut once, and the melon patch flour
ish'd for the rest of the season.
