Electric Wires Dissipate Violence n of Lightning, It is agreeable to be tilde to dield- 1 Pate the idea which pereon.s unae- gltalnted witit the ways ofturthundero : t storms d of earthly electrical sets tents have lately been entertaining --that the nniItiplleity of electrwu wires is causing an increase in the number of storms, says au English exchange. The tendency is just the other way. According 'to the simple explana- tion which Dr. Sowerby tho rainfall expert, of Camden square, gave the reason is this :--The zIhrtip- tive in a. thunderstorm Is an effort on tho part of nature to adjust the clintributiozt of electricity between earth and st.w. But just as a lightning conductor provides an easy passage for the electricity front sky to earth, so every bare wire acts as a conductor and helps dissipate the aerial electricity which would otherwise cause thunder. The influence of the wires in Lon- don Dr. Wallis said, is very percep- tible, so That with the ever extend- ing systeni of telegraphs, telephones, WM other electric works thunder- storms should show a tendency to decrease. But as to whether there are more or fewer storms than there were a few . years ago. Dr. Wallis pointed out that the question arises' What is a thunderstorm? Are one clap of thuotter and one flash of lightn- ing a storm?
