L n no fault if a parent openly

If it is true that fathers and sons

to lie in the fact that the parent

the atmosphere but that to date one has succeeded
and the experts OF the department of terrestrial mag
netsm of the Carnegie institution say that they doubt
if anyone ever will
Every particle of dust and every drop of rain in
the atmosphere carries electric charge which can
be measured with suitable apparatus.
Experiments in scientific laboratories have shown
that when a spray of water is blown into the air the
the spray which rises becomes electrified negatively
while the large drops which fall become electrified
positively
It is believed that the same process takes place in
a thunderstorm.
In a thunderstorm the powerful ascending air
currents carry the water drops up But as more and
larger drops form, they begin to fall against the ris
ing current
The smaller drops which rise in the thundercloud
therefore charged with negative electricity
The large drops which fall are charged positively.
Finally the tension gets so great that the insuat-
ing availability of the air breaks down and the cleo
trical tension is relieved by the jumping of a huge
electrical discharge across the intervening space.
The discharge is like that which takes place in a
laboratory between the two electrodes of spark gap
which is connected to electric transformer. The
accompanying Illustration shows such DISCHARGE.
The lightning fash however, is far more powerful
tina any discharge which can be obtained in the
laboratory. -.

SkeDtiCaI Son

TT seems to me that Lear had not
L weighed all contingencies when
he compared a thankless child to a
keen -toethed serpent. Adulation
from those near and dear can have
a most deadening effect upon initia-

and writers, too, who grew sleek and
lazy because some relative was for
ever standing close by in open
mouthed admiration. The son who
remains somewhat skeptical about
his fathers talents may inspire that
man to renewed efforts as he grits
his teeth and says, I'll show that
snip.

Why Crime FIouri5heS

IF American policemen were not
L kept so busy regulating traffic,
cenSoring shows and smelling out
liquor, they might do equally well.
They are expected to look after so
many petty offenses that they have
little time for big ones.
The Boston superintendent of DO
lice was not at headquarters when a
friend of Tom Mix called to re-
quest the services of a detective to
help find the $4,000 of which Mix
was robbed while in Portsmouth,
N. H.
But the Boston superintendent of
police was right on deck to stop
the sale of Scribner's magazine be-
cause it contained a story which
appeared to him as being anti-war
propaganda.
While the two incidents may have
no direct relations with each other,
they show what is happening and
offer part Of the explanation as to
why big crime f1ourishes in
America.
