LIgbtatog k Lbs result of electric dis-
charges tram the clouds. says the Eho-
telral Experimenter in printing what
1t caU. "a thunderstorm primer."
Every cloud, like every other object.
metal= eiectrictty. This makes no
disturbance so coag as the guilty
contained la normal When the quan-
tity becomes greater than normal the
object is positively charged; when it
becomes less than normal the object L
ategauvety charged. The equilibrium
.1 the electric force In the clouds as
disturbed by evaporatlaos from the
sttttface of the earth, by changes of
temperature in the atmoopberic vapor,
by chemical action on the earth's sur-
face and by the friction of volumes of
Lir of different densities against each
other.
When clouds charged with tbe•oppo-
site electrtclties approach. the forces
rash toward each other and combine to
restore the state of equilibrium. for all
bodies charged with opposite electrlcl-
ties attract each other. Between the
clouds Is ale, an excellent nonconduc-
tor. through which the electricity has
to force a peonage. The violence with
which tt dues this produces the ti=lt•
0Inr and the accompanying crash of
thunder.
Clouds are goal cnndu;tors, whP.e the
a!r about them 1. a nonconductor;
therefore the electricity accumulates Lu

tricity which prevents the parth4es of
water from uniting together ani falling

The equilibrium of the ci�crls being
thus restored, there it nothi. r to keep
the particles of water 'mart: they cone
less -e it.to drops and fall as rata.
Whenonly the -clouds are invoiced
the equilibrium is quickly restored by
a few dashes and the storm is over.
When the air also is tnvnlved It con-
tinues to charge the clouds with elec-
tricity. and the discharges continue un-
til the carious strata of air are brought
into their normal state.
Sometimes. when the clouds are
charged with an opposite electricity to
that of the earth, a discharge taker
place from clouds to earth or from
earth to clouds. it to only when there
is a great disturtntnce of the electrical
forces that the lightning flashiv to the
earth or vice versa.
The flash and the thunder peal are
t imultaneons, and we see the one be-
fore we bear the other because light
waves move far more swiftly thaw
Nand wares. The peal of thunder is
' IOstantaneous, but comes to to as a
roll through being' echoed from clouds
me mountains. The noise as caused by
the vibrations of tbe air rushing to till
op the spaces where the electrical dis-
charge has rarefied it and condoned
Its vapors.
Lightning 1s zigzag when It trays=
through a long distance. because it
eompremes the air. which interferes
with its direct course. It is straight
when it passes through only a short
distance. It is forked when. being re-
sided by the air, it divides tato two or
three points. It is sheet when the dash
hi too distant to be visible, and its re-
daction
ardaction alone is seen.
By remembering that sound travels
a quarter of a tulle in a second. wbtie
tkbt travels so swiftly that we see it
t4afantaneoasly. we can tell how far
se a thunder clap is. If we bear a
thunder clap four seconds after seeing
the hash we know it ls a mile away.
Per such calculations our own pulse is
a go/ciently accurate measure of time.
far the puce of an adult beats about
mace a second. A person ander forty
sbeeld count five beats to the mile; a
pram ander twenty should count de
beats to the mlk.

TECHNIC OF PAINTING. 1
Modern Cetor -Methods and Thew el
the Old Masters.
Many persons think that the paint-
ings by the old rna.tcrs owe their per-
manency in some degree to secret proc-
esses now lost- In tae Journal of the
F'rauIlin tustItute Dr. \intimi:tau Toch
whits out that as a matter of fact tbe
old mastirs-used only We.e few colon
'madder. fur example,/ the permauency
of which was well e-tablLah.+1, cad

er,aayine that either light or darkness
may bleach a 1 icture, points out that

them in bright sunlight
•.o Finally Dr. Toch condemns those
modern painters who substitute the
collapsible tube or palette kutfe for tbe
brush on the ground that the flakes of
color thus attached to the canvas will
crack off and become detached If
that method bad been used by the an-
cients no trace of their wort would

The Heroines of Novels
If I were his ,Satanic majesty and
a novelist came to me for Judgment I
should beetle my brows to a horrible
manner and quiz blm thus:
"Did you ever make your beret=
eigbteen years old'. Did you ever en-
dow a maiden with the repartee of
Pinery, the tntnitiu of Blavatsky, the
carriage of Garden. the hauteur of the
Medici, the beauty of Aphrodite and
the wisdom of Athene--at.l at the age
of eighteen yearer
If the novelist answered me "Cer-
tainty
tataty not!" I ahead my, "To hearer
with you.r" But if he answered, "Sure.
I did!' I would blast him when be
stood.

Typos of Feet
Among the various races of emu,
three types of feet *tear. Certain pears
races have one type of toe watch le
characteristic of each race. Thus, rho
Lulus, the Basques and probably most
pure Celts have the even toed foot
while the Papuans, the Boscbmen and
a number of African tribes, as well as
both ancient and modern Egmptiaa,.
have the arch toed foot. Many Euro-
pean
uropean nations, however. have a mixture
of the three types. But It is certain
that among the English. and probably
among the Germans. French and
