100 Lightning Flashes
for Each Second of Time

London.-Scarcely a second passes,
year in and year out, winter and sum-
mer, when there are not at least 100
lightning flashes somewhere in the
world, according to the recently issued
blue book of the meteorological office
Of the British government service.
During a year, says the book, the
world experiences 100000 thunder
storms, or an average Of 1900 day.
The amount Of energy released by
these flashes is tco stupendous for the
human mind to grasp, the book points
out. It Is suggested by the meteorolo-
gists that the water power of the
earth, which has already been har-
messed, be used as a measure.
Figuring on that basis, it Is esti-
mated that double that amount Is rep
resented by one flash of lightning !;
consequently, in any given second
there Is released from the clouds more
energy than the worlds water-power
stations yield in six months.

SAILOR NEAR END
OF WORLD TOUR
Making Trip in Craft Of Els
Own Design.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Once more out of
the vastnrss of the Seven seas has
come message from Harry Pidseon,
the lone Los Angeles sailor, who Is
circumnavigating the globe in his little
vessel-the lslanGer-and with it has
come quaint tale of condolences
which reads like fiction, though it is
true.
Pidgeon sailed from Los Angeles
harbor in craft Of his own design
and with only book knowledge of sea
navigation. A letter received by his
brother, Walter Pidgeon, revealed that
he has almost circled the earth and Is
now at Colon in the Panama Canal
zone, on the last leg Of his homeward
journey.
On the first leg Of his long sea
journey, one Of the first persons Pid-
geon saw upon his arrival at Tahiti,
South Sea Islands, was A. ]. Baster,
world traveller. They became friends.
Months later pidgeon sailed into
Suva, Fiji Islands. and there was Bas-
ter to greet him. Then Pidgeon sailed
on and on, to Australia, to South AZ
RIGA and then across the Atlantic to
the British West Indies.
Pidgeon arrived at Port Of Spain.
Trinidad, British West Indies, last
month. For the third time ON his cir
cumnavigation of the world Baster met
the intrepid sailor. Pidgeon mentioned
the three unusual chance meetings in
the letter to his brother
Pidgeon's letter to his brother stated
he had arrived at the entrance to the
Panama canal. that his next stop would
be Balboa. on the Pacific side. and that
he would arrive in Los Angeles early
this fall.

YODLERS TO GIVE FINE CONCERT
AT CHAUTAUQUA

Yodeling is highly cultivated art,
and dates back to about 500 B. c.,
when the Goth, being pushed westward
by Asiatics, found safe retreat a.
mong the Alps, taking up their abode
in high mountainous country, they
found it difficult to communicate with
one another. They soon discovered
that certain calls would carry far in
the thin clear mountain air, and "a
greed among themselves that a GER
tain sound would indicate the ap-
proach of a storm; another, invasion
of an enemy; and still another, glad
tidings. In the course of time this
means of communication was develop
ed into series of pleasing and melo-
dious mountain calls.
Alpine Yodeling has now become a
national characteristic and these calls
form pretty, pleasing and patriotic
method by which the Alpine people
show affection for their native land
and for their friends.

he came out and he shook hands with
Tommy at once.
'Delighted to see you," he said. You

"But must ask you few ques-

II know the answer to that question,
though. They won't make the effort

The Bureau of Home Economics of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture is frequently asked why the
water-bath method of processinga may
be used in the home canning of fruits
and tomatoes, whereas non-acid vege-
tables must be processed under pres
sure.
The explanation given is that for
successful canning the temperature
applied should ordinarily be the low
est possible that will insure a safe
product. While no growing, or So
called vegetative, bacteria will sur
vive for any length of time at the
temperature of boiling water PIP de-
greesF., some bacteria are able to go
into spore form. These spores are
killed only by very long-continued
hating at boiling temperature, especi-
ally if the fruit or vegetable being
canned has juice that is alkaline or
only very slightly acid. When the
juices are acid, as in fruits and to-
matoes, all forms of bacteria are kill
ed more quickly at PIP degrees F.,
which is the highest temperature pos
sible in the water bath. A water bath
Gamer is commonly understood to be
any covered vessel of sufficient depth
for tn jars or cans to be completely
immersed while processing, and equip
ped with a rack or false bottom which
permits water to circulate around the
jars or cans. A wash boiler frequent
ly answers the purpose in the house.
hold.
Corn, peas, beans and other vege-
tables that do not have acid juice need
to be processed under steam pressure
at temperatures higher than PIP de-
grees F., and for this reason the steam
pressure Gamer is recommended for
canning them.

AGRICULTURE

Many and varied are the methods
employed by scientific agricul:urists
to fight destructive diseases OF the
email grain crops. Some of the dis
eases fwheat, oats, barely, and other
grains are held IN check by cultural
methods, some by seed treatment,
and some by the use of specialized
fighting strains" of the crop in ques-
ton. For some time plant breeders
have been aware OF the fact that some
individual plants are stronger or more
naturally resistant and immune to
diseases than others. From these
natural fighters the plant breeders for
Il long time have been assembling and
mobilizing their disease-fighting SOL
diers and armies and deploying them
to the farmers fields to aid him in
controlling his losses.
Strains of wheat, oats, barley, and
rye, as well as many other plants,
have been discovered which are high
| ly resistant or immune to a particular
disease. From these a generous seed
supply has been grown and dstribut-
ed to the sections of the country
where needed. This in itself has been
an achievement of considerable note
and value to the farmers of the coun-
try. Often it is necessary to find a
variety or strain which is immune
from more than one disease. AS dis
meet the needs of farmers, must at
the same time be desirable in other
characteristics of yield, market value,
and adaptation, the problem of finding
or developing Fighting strains" ca
pable of resisting the attacks of sew
eral diseases is more difficult and in
tricate. Nevertheless, the plant breed
ers have come to the rescue of the
farmer on such occasions as we'll.
| This was the case with wheat in the
area of southwestern Illinois, where
the two diseases flag smut and the ro-
settle disease We're causing great los
SEES to the wheat growers. Fortunate
ly among the various selections of
wheat being grown by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture in varietal
tests at the Arlington Experiment
Farm, one variety known as the Shep-
herd strain seemed to embody all Of
the desired characteristics. 1t was i'm
mune to both diseases and showed an
average yield over period of six
years of 81 bushels to the acre. About
100 acres were sown in the infected
area in southwestern Illinois in the
fall of 1923 with seed from the Gov
eminent plats. From the product of
this sowing enough seed was avail
able for the sowing of a large area
in the fall Of 1924. Now many farm
ers have seed of the Shepherd strain
of wheat and are growing it to pre-
vent losses from flag smut and ro-
settle.
