antee r this snows why this oilfts in general use sight in the call that d davy had shipping department but though he had written all his qualifications and refer ences he had received no answer to his letter it had been a week now surely if they thought of accepting him they would have written within that time it was impossible to remain longer in idle ness if there was anything- at all to be found in shape ot employment boys-foihthelr- mikespoke decisively butas i that afternoon he presented himself at mr cranes office yes sir i sent for you sort of re membered your face after you called ask- ing for employment the other day did not think i could use you then lots of trouble with fellows quitting just after weve taken the trouble- to teach them the business ive decided to hire alt my help by contract a year or nothing from now on how is that suit you all right mr crane looked mike over quizzically yes sir i would be willing to sign a contract mike spoke thoughtfully tendolars a week and take it for a year in the little town of claemore he could scarcely hope for more there was only the new firm of davy davy that held better prospects all right sir if its agreeable to you just put your name right here now the cost of ambition it has been said that one great hin drance to success is that industry costs so much more than ambition and of course that is a facetious way of saylhir that much socalled ambition has no right to the name ambition is costly it costs anything necessary for its realization you rrut pay tor it in determination and in effort ambition demands industry- whether you- are ambitious to be a music arr or a hank president or avflrstclass football kjton have to work for it as for wishing that is not stroig compel effort tint is not am- m- no quitting your money will be ready for you saturday night a youth who had been standing cap in hand followed him out huh as if his old contract amounted to anything quit when you getready i say thats just a bluff that contract stunt it does not hold but i gave him my word of honor that would hold with me if i had neve signe a contracv-mike-sald-firnriy-r- oh well just as you please if i find a chance to better myself ill take it you bet mike went home whistling his mother heard him coming and greeted him with a smile i knew you were coming with good news she said you have a job have you not son and now we will soon be qut of debt again i am so glad you are right we will i go to work tomorrow morningl ten dollars a week and no lost time how is that pretty good yes i think youdld right in accepting it will be some thing to count on for a year at least on his way home from work the first night he stopped in the post office and found the letter from davy davy he tore it open excitedly and tend 1 dear sir wehmve had your letter with references under consideration a week and find that we can use you in our ling department at 12 a weeki if this is satisfactory to you please let us hear from you at once davy davy mikes hand trembled as he fitted tho letter back into its envelope twelve dollars a week and his mother need hot have worked twelve dollars a week it meant something above fair necessi ties something for comforts he thought of his overcoat outgrown- even last winter and of his shabby shoes but he had signed a contract hehad given his word of honor in spite of himself the words of the boy he had met in mr cranes office kept recurring to him that the contract was worthless that it would not hold that one had only to quit but his jaw set firmly as he trudged on toward home as far as he was concerned it was as binding as the most rigid law he handed the letter to his mother ns he went in he felt sure what she would say and it would be a comfort to hear her say it he was not disappointed she came to where he sat gazing into the fire and ran her fingers through his hair tenderly too bad son that it came too late but never mind it must be tpr the best or it wouldnt bo so something good will come that we cant sec now woll hope so anyway he was glad hli mother considered his word of honor worth more than a few paltry dollars he felt that a little- hesitancy on hi mothers part would have been his un doing so mike wrote dear mr davy i am sorry your letter came twentjmfour hours t90 late i had already signed a contract with mr crane for one year at 10 per week i regret being obliged to give up such an advantageous position as youdfcer ma but- 1 have given my word of honor and shall abide by it truly ybuijs mike torey mr pscar davy of davy davy leaned back in his office chair anaread mikes letter the second time then after thinking over the matter awhile called in his father mr george davy and read it to him too bad we lost him isnt it a bby whd values lils word of honor would be a valuable asset weve been looking long time for such a- boy 1 theyre scarce- all right so he means to abide by if of course he knows such a contract is only a scrap of paper so far a law g k i dont know i wonder- if he does i m- almost interested enough to find out v i wish ypiwoujdi ij j character and hot ignorance hes a wonder in this- dayand age so the next forenbon as mike came butot the brush factory he was accosted by a welldressed dignified gentleman who seemed to single ilm out from amoni the others with little trouble mlkj torey i believe he said t ami pscar davy of the firm of jjavy davy i have here jfour- letter refusng our offer of 12 a week i am sure yon would and the position to your advant age we offer fine opportunities for ad vancement to ambitious lads if the wages were riot satisfactory you should- have stated as much slats diar by ross farquhar the wages- were quite satisfactory explained in my letter i had already accepted this and signed a contract for one year oscar davy smiled contract my dear boy no contract holds in a case like this it is merely a- form sometimes it works with the ignorant but really it is only a scrap of paper one could hardly be expected to give up a lucrative position for the paltry sum of 1u a alum hard on him bocuz he aln t threw mi week but i agreed to accept it sir i have given my word of honor l and you mean to abide by it yes7blrr certa d m word is more to me sir than a few dollars he was surprised that mr davy reach ed for his hand and claspediteaeeriyr i am glad to hear you say as much my boy i was ontgjjnlfyb ness and am proud to find itj the stand you have taken lrit shows where you will be found li future let me wish you the suces honestly deserve iwr he shook mikes hand heartily before he turned and went into the office mr crane you have a boy outside whom i should uke very much to employ he refuses to break his contract without your consent so i have come to see how highly you value him as he has only worked one day you have been to no trouble or expense to teach him your business upon talking with him i find he is just the boy i want and i am willing to pay you for his release would 2 be an inducement to youf why yes mr crane reflected a moment i dont know but any other boy would do me as well if its any accommodation to you take him along well discharge him then when he comes back from dinner and i will be waitlngoutside to hire him rdllce7t0 take him back to the office with me we need hhn badly so for the sum of 25 was transferred from cranes brush factory to the firm of davy davy but not for 12 since i know you better ill risk yoi at 15 and expect to make meniy on- you at that a boy whose word of honor is sacred to

to use instru ments for the purpose of figuring the forces of lightning yet there are many ways of calculating familiar to eveiy mathematician and certain results have been obtained for instance it has been calculated- that the amount of lfght given by a single lightning flash is enough to illuminate an area two miles square the lightning bolt itself would be visible several miles farther off but the remotest part of the area referred to would have as much light as would be given by a candle quite enough to read by to produce such a light it would be necessary to expend 13000 horsepower for a second these figures appear very large but tttb time is short the flash mlghtcbe lor onlyonethousandth of a secondrbut ihe impression on the eye would continue for a tenth part of a second anyway figur ed down to an exact amount this amoun of forcq would mean about four horse power only according to tho engineer lightning flashes usually occur within thunder clouds and only rarely from one ordinary cloud to another or from a cloud to the ground they seem to follow the rapid condensation of vapor in the air and to be caused by that phenomenon the kind of electricity formed in a thundercloud is not like that which is produced by electrical machinery light ning is static electricity the same kiud that is produced by rubbing amberi with silk when a body such as a brass globe is loaded with static electricity the charge stays on the surface of it the quantity of a full charge is limjted by the area over which it can spread when a large number of vapor particles unite to form a raindrop their electrical charges are combined but there is not as much surface ontblg drop as on the many parttcleswhlcli weriffintoificoiv sequently there 1 more electricity than the drop can hold and it must hunt up other accomodations either in some cloud or on the earth flashes in the clouds are often several miles long being com posed of a chain of small ones the intelligent milkman as he

discharges from one cloud to another or on the earth differ greatly in force- some bolts are very heavy and spllntet itrces into toothpicks destroy buildings and fuse rocks others are more mild the question of how the static elec tricity gets into tije clouds is very dif ficulty to answer one theory is that it is generated by the evaporation of water by the suns rays another that static dis charges are continually taking place from the earth into the air and- are there readily collected by particles of moisture which when they condense form heavy thunderclouds and- this formation of
