HEAVY ELECTRIC STORM
VISITED LOWER DELAWARE
Heavy DOwnDOur OF Rain Accountant
led BY Binding Flashes OF Lightning

Kent and Sussex Counties were
visited by a severe electric storm
late Sunday afternoon last, and re-
ports of at least one building being
struck by lightning have been re-
ceived. At Milford the storm struck
about six o'clock in the afternoon
and for several minutes the rain fell
in torrents and heavy thunder shook
the earth, binding flashes of light
ming accompanied the storm. Some
wind was noticeable, but no damage
was reported in Milford or the sur
rounding territory. In Kent county
the storm took freak proportions. At
Dover the heavy storm in the after
noon did no damage. Later in the
evening, however, "a second storm
swept over the district. The large
barn on the Terry-COOper farm near
Moore's Mill was struck by lightning
and burned to the ground. Several
horses and COWS were burned. Fred
Gray, who resided on the farm was
not at home at the time, and when
he arrived on the scene the barn was
in ashes. The storm was the first
real electric storm of the season in
this section of the state.

DELAWARE CHOSEN AS
PLACE TO CHECK Bee HABITS
Government To Experiment To
Learn How Far II Will Fly For Food

The Delaware coast has been Sc
lected by the Bureau of Entomology
Department of Agriculture, to deter
mine a number Of characteristics of
bees. The Department wants to find
out how far a bee will fly from the
hive for food; what is the distance
the insect can travel for raw mater
ial, and by what means it finds new
fields of yielding. The test
will be made in the section from Re-
hoboth to Bethany Beach, and will
be conducted in May and June of
this year.
One of the principal objects of
the work of the Department in MAX
ing the investigation will be to de-
termine the effect weather condi-
tons have on the flight activities of
bees.
AS the countryside has no flowers
that will divert the attention of bees,
it mostly being marsh, their flight
can be readily controlled by the
placing of supplies of artificial food,
in the view of the Department. This
"honey" will be kept constant and
as a result any variations in the
flight activities will be caused pri-
