BELL FINDS WIRE TROUBLES
Electric euzzer With Dry Cell VIII Be
Found Useful in Locating
Short Circuits.

Repair men Will find the use of an
old electric door bell very handy In
locnting short circuits, ground wires,
open circuits, blown fuses. wOrn-out
sockets. broken wires and other diff
cultles.
Bind the bell to dry cell with tape
or cord and wire in series, leaving the
outside wires six to eight feet long.
Secure n clip on the end of each of
these wires, and in making the test
fusten these wires to the different
parts Of the wiring system Of the car
where trouble is suspected. If the
bell rings the wire is in good condi-
tlon; If not, the trouble can be easily
located.

Energy Hidden
In h Clouds

"A CAAOCD thOugn composed OF water,
is so light that it floats in the at.
mosphcric ocean.
1t is made up of minute globules of
water, each one Of which has for its
nucleus a particle Of dust. The weight
of a cloud measuring 10000. feet in
diameter would. it is estimated, be
something like 200 900 tons, if its ma
terial were condensed.
This material has been lifted into the
sky BY the power Of the sun. The warm
air drank in the moisture e%vaporated
from land and sea, and the pressure Of
cooler air surrounding it caused the
mass to ascend like a hot. air balloon.
One may observe the process in op-
Grafton when one sees a thunder
head cloud mounting skyward on q
summer day. Its rising speed averages
more than 100 feet a minute, but the
cloud goes up more slowly when it
reaches a point. where its top is cooled
to the degree Of the surrounding air.
The cloud assumes varying shapes as
the transition takes place. Often the
top of the thunderhcad bursts out in.
surprisingly, beautiful mushroom forms
and stands in the sky like n vaporous
toadstool reared as if by magic.
Within the cloud violent forces are a,
work. Cooler bodies of air rush into
the forming mass and the globules OF
water are compressed into drops Of
rain, which may be carried high into
the region of freezing temperature and
CONCEALED into ice. The Jumps of ice
fall. and We call it a hailstorm.
