more osculation. They took this
pledge:
Il solemnly pledge myself daily to

Much Electric Energy Lost
Each Year.

Washlngton.-One billion kllo-
watts OF electrical energy is poured
down on the earth every year by
thunderbolts. the American Meteoro-
logical society was told here recent
ly at It's annual meeting.
The tremendous potentlalitles for
power from the clouds at present
out OF the reach OF man. were de
scrlbed by Or. u. r. ]. schonland.
director OF research for the Insti-
tuie Of Electrical Engineers. at
johannesburg. South Africa.
The studies OF the various phases
OF lightning and thunderbolts have
been undertaken. Doctor Schonland
said. with the hope that knowledge
OF the mechanism and nature OF the
thunderbolis may enable man to
utilize at least part OF the tremen-
dous electrical energy being con-
siantly built up In the clouds and
discharged to the earth.

amounts OF these voltages. Doctor
Schonland said.
Measurements OF the electric po-
tent!al In the cloud show that each
cenrmeter OF cloud has a voltage
OF 10000. or more than 1.5O0.OO0,0 900
volts per linear mile. Generally. the

The downward movement OF the
