The World and All

Queer things are things we know little about. Odd.
looking fish. tropical insects. head-hunters.
But there's n queer phenomenon OF nature that I'd
like to know more about. It is ball lightning.
Have you ever seen ball lightning? Do Won per-
sonally know anybody who knows someone who has
actually witnessed this phenomenon?
The scientific books nov admit there Is such a
thing as ball lightning, but they are quite generally IN
the dark about il.
So far as I know, nobody has ever photographed
ball lightning. But occasionally, from widely scatter
ed sources, one hears reports of the occurrence of this
strange marvel OF nature.
My mother used 20 tell Of seeing 4 display Of ball
lightning during a heavy thunderstorm in Kansas
That was more than forty years ago. have heard Of
otter persons who have seen ball lightning, and I have
read Of several instances Of its strange antics. but
have never met anyone else who has actually seen the
phenomenon.
Ny mother described the thing she saw somewhat
after this manner, II ! remember the story correctly.
In the midst Of the driving rain. high wind and crash
ing thunder, she saw a fiery ball. which seemed to
come cut Of the clouds, fall or roll through the air,
toward a barbed-wire fence, across the road from the
house in which my mother was living. The appearance
Of the glowing ball frightened the watcher. but she had
already been through a Kansas tornado, 50 she was not
too amazed by the seemingly impossible display Of
fireworks that was going on before her.
The ball seemed to hit the wire fence, and then
to roll or bounce along il, striking the wire from time
to time, and then seeming to bounce of.
Finally the strange object hoped off the fence and
into 9 field, where il disappeared. All this occupied
only q few seconds, I suppose. although other observ-
ers Of ball lightning alho dwelt upon the apparently
slow motion Of the glowing object.
II any Of my readers knows anything first-hnnd
or at reliable secondhand about ball lightning, I'D
be pleased to hear the whole story. So little is known
q this phenomenon that even the scientific societies
ers Of ball lightning also dwelt upon the apparently
nish.
There ~ such a thing MS ball lightning. and there
must be q good many persons alive who have seen it.

The two cheapest things Ia this life are Courtesy

Perhaps you think the men who work for him do
not appreciate it I know they DO.
There is another man who always says ~Thank
you" He makes a particular point Of saying il TO
people who are paid to give him service. He can call
over the telephone to operators who have not heard
his voice for months and the operator will answer
him by name because his unfailing courtesy establishes
his identity.
A good many men, and women. too, think that al

any difference when they are at home. Courtesy any
Gratitude are with them net a habit. but expressions
which require preparation and thought. It isn't diff

In other words. Courtesy and Gratitude are not
one-sided acts. They bring their recompense and es-
tablish their own returns.

II isn't 80 surprising, at that, when
you understand why, but il seems so,

The ideas this:
We have in congress a smallish,
but troublesome group, largely OF
republicans, but, to some extent OF
Democrats, who call themselves "rad-
~icals," or "progressives," or wat
not.
They give the regulars OF both
parties an acute, three-cornered pain,
because they won't stay "in line"
To Victor Berger they give. equal

thing.
The congressional conservatives,
Republican and Democratic, and Vie
tor Berger, Socialist, have this in
common:
The progressive. sel~f-styled, make
EN- both sick.
The conservatives-many-and Vic
tor Berger-one-get together on this
issue In the most fraternai way.
When the "progressives" have the
floor, the conservatives sit back and
sneer-but everybody knows they're
conservatives. Congressman Berger
sits back. and, as an expert. sneers
too. It's worth a million TO conserva-
tism-so long, of course, as Berger
remains In a minority Of one, o.
