The Procesiny by Which the Masses of Unequally Charged Vapor Are United, the Lightning Flashes Gen- erated and the Downpour Started. | Lightning is the result of electric dis- | charges from the clouds, says the Elec. | trical Experimenter in printing what | it calls "a thunderstorm primer." | Every cloud, like every other object, contains electricity. This makes no disturbance so long as the quantityd contained is normal. When the quan- | tity becomes greater than normal the | object Is positively charged; when It becomes less than normal the object is | negatively charged. The equilibrium | of the electric force in the clouds is | disturbed by evaporations from the | surface of the earth, by changes of | temperature in the atmospheric vapor, | by chemical action on the earth's sur- | face and by the friction of volumes of | air of different densities against each | other, { When clouds charged with the oppo- | site electricities approach, the forces | rush toward each other and combine to | restore the state of equilibrium, for all | bodies charged with opposite electricl- | ties attract each other, Between the | clouds is air, an excellent noncondue- | tor, through which the electricity has to force a passage. The violence with | which it does this produces the light. | ning and the accompanying crash of | thunder. | Clouds are good conductors, while the | alr about them is « monconductor; | therefore the electricity accumulates in | the clouds. It is probably this elec tricity which prevents the particles of water from uniting together and falling | down in the form of rain. Imagine two clouds near to each oth- er in the sky, one positively and the other negatively electrified, for there | cannot in all nature be such a condi- | tion as that of one body positively ex- | cited without the coexistence of an- | other body negatively excited. If the positively chawsged cloud were all alone | the ecircumjacent atmos- tion. But as the other cloud is near by | it becomes negativé, and both are mu- tually attracted, They approach each | other until the space of air between { them can no longer resist their electric | tension, when the discharge takes | place. | The equilibrium of the clouds being | thus restored, there, is nothing to keep | the particles of wafer apart; they coa- | lesce into drops and fall as rain. When only the clouds are involved the equilibrium is quickly restored by | a few flashes and the storm is over. | When the air also is involved it con- tinues to charge the clouds with elee- tricity, and the discharges continue un- til the varigus strata of air are brought nto their normal state. Sometimes, when the clouds are tharged with an opposite electricity to that of the earth, a discharge takes place from clouds to earth or from garth to clouds. It is only when there is a great disturbance of the electrical forces that the lightning flashes to the earth or vice versa. The flash and the thunder peal are simultaneous, and we see the one be- fore we hear the other because light waves move far more swiftly than sound waves. The peal of thunder is instantaneous, but comes to us as a roll through being echoed from clouds or mountains. Tbe noise is caused by the vibrations of the air rushing to fill ap the spaces where the electrical dis- charge has rarefled it and condensed its vapors. Lightning 1s zigzag when it travels through a long distance, because it compresses 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- sisted by the air, it divides Into two or three points. It is sheet when the flash Is too distant to be visible, and its re- flection alone is seen. By remembering that sound travels & quarter of a mile in a second, while light travels so swiftly that we see it instantaneously, we can tell how far off a thunder clap is. If .we hear a thunder clap four seconds after seeing the flash we know it is a mile away. For such calculations our own pulse is t sufficientlyn¢curate measure of time, for the pulse of an adult beats about once a second. A person under forty should count fiye beats to the mile; a person under twenty should count six beats to the mile. ----------n. A Rough Criticism. Lord Houghton's epigram on "Sor dello," probably the most ebscure of Browning's poems, though it has often gone the rounds, is worth recalling. Said Lord Houghton, then only Dicky Milnes, "There are but two lines In 'Sordello' I can understand~--the first and last--"Who will may hear Sordel- 10's story told' and 'Who would hath heard Sordello's story told,' and both «2 false" ' Finger Print Love.

The natives of Hawall are singularly picturesque in. thélr choice of names. Mr. Scissors, The Thief, The Ghost The Fool, The Man Who Washes His Dimples, Mrs. Oyster, The Weary Liz ard, The Husband of Kaneia (a male dog), The Great Kettle, The First Nose, The Atlantic Ocean, The Stom- ach, 'Poor Pussy, Mrs. Turkey, The Tenth Heaven, are all names that have appeared in the city directory, They are often careless of the gender or appropriateness of the names they take, A householder on Beretania street, Honolulu, is called The Pretty Woman (Wahine Maikal); a male in- fant was lately christened Mrs. Tomp kins; one little 1 is named Samson; another, The M Susan (Kukena) is a boy; so are Pol arah, Jane Peter and Henry Ann. A pretty little maid has been named by her fond parents The Pig Sty (Hale Pua). For some un- known reason--or for no reason. at all --one boy is named The Rat Eater (Kamea Ole Ole). The Rev, Dr. Coan of Hawail pos. whose name was given by the parents, Makia; when the ceremony was fin ished the parents assured the doctor that they had named the baby for him. "But my name is not Michael," said the doctor, supposing Mikia to be aim- ed thereat. "We always hear your wife call you Mikia," answered the mother. She had mistaken Mrs. Coan's familiar "my dear" for her husband's given name, An old servant in Dr. Wight's fam- ily at Kohala caused her grandchild to be baptised in church, The Doctor (Kauka); that was its only name. By way of compliment to the early physi { clans, many children were named after their drugs, as Joseph Squills, Miss Rhubarb, The Emetic, The Doctor Who Peeps In at a Door. Names uncomplimentary, or even dis- gusting, are willingly borne by their owners; others convey a pleasing and graceful sentiment. Among the latter are the Arch of Heaven (Ka Ria Lani), The River of Twilight (Ka Wia Linla), The Delicate Wreath (Ka Lel ma Lif). The name of Lilu O Kalani, the queen now in retirement, means A Lily In the Sky.--Youth's Companion. WALKING FOR SPEED. Body Balance and the Proper Leg and Foot Motion. In starting on the track the novice should hold himself as erect as possi ble, without, however, leaning at all backward, the arms at the sides, with the forearms in a horizontal position, at right angles to the part of the arms above the elbows. He should have a feeling of being "well balamced on his | pins." The weight must be kept on the heels ~therein lies the chief secret of walk- Ing fairly. Speed depends on two fac- tors, the length and the frequency of | the stride. Experiments prove that the lenigth of the stride becomes greater as the frequency increases. Arm action should be carefully cul- tivated. Properly used, the arms seem to act as levers to lift forward the body, besides helping to balance it. In each stride one foot should be always on the ground and at same moment of the stride some part of both feet should be on the grotind simultaneously--that is, the first necessity.' Second in impor- tance is to have the walk "heel and toe"--that is, the heel of each foot 'sliould strike the ground unmistakably first and the toe of each foot sheild be the last part to leave it. One should not walk flat footed, with the ball of the foot or any part except the heel striking the ground before the heel does. Lastly, the knee should be "locked" at the end of each stride--the grounded leg should be stiff and taut as the loose leg swings out for the next stride.--Quting, Story of a Dream.

A Chicago lawyer tells of a prosecut- ing attorney in a circuit éourt of an 11 linois county some years age whose early education had been defective, but who was so shrewd and "long headed" that few more dangerous antagoniSts could be found at the bar in that re gion. At one time he had procured the in- dictment of a man for theft. The amount alleged to have been stolen was $5, and at that time the penalty for stealing $5 or more was imprison- ment at hard labor in the penitentiary. For stealing less than that amount the punishment was cenfinement in th county jail without labor. The evidence proved beyond dispute the theft of a five dollar note of the State Bank of Illinois, but the pris oner's counsel brought several busi bess men to swear that it was not worth its face value in gold, but all agreed that in ordinary transactions it would pass for $5. Over this testimony the prisoner's counsel quibbled for two hours while the prosecuting attorney listened in patience, - When his turn came he arose and de- livered himself as follows: "Gentlemen, I hope the learned coun. sel won't get offended if I don't talk but just one minute. All I've got to say is this: The prisoner don't pretend to deny that he stole our money, and all he asks of you's just to give him the privilege of stealin' it at a dis count!" He sat down, and the jury gent the thief to the penitentiary.--Case and Comment. TECHNIC OF PAINTING. Modern Color 'Methods and Those of the Old Masters. Many persons think that the paint ings by the old masters owe their per- manency in some degree to secret proc: esses now lost. In the Journal of the Franklin institute Dr. Maximilian Toch points out that as a matter of fact the old masters usell only those few colors (madder, for example) the permanency of which was well established, and that they avoided mixing colors known to have a bad chemical effect on one another, Incidentally he describes the seien- 'tific methods of detecting later day copies. Zinc white, where flake white would have been used, protoplasmic re mains in the cells of the wood used for the picture and the transparency of the bitumen in the shadows are proofs that a picture is not a genuine anti- tique. In respect to deterioration the author "mentions the bad. effects of smoke and modern gas fumes and, aft- er saying that either light or darkness may bleach a picture, points -out that some pictures that have been kept in the dark can be restored by placing them in bright sunlight. : Finally Dr. Toch condemns. those modern painters who substitute the collapsible tube or palette knife for the brush on the ground that the flakes of color thus attached to the eanvas will crack off and become detached. If that method had been used by the an- cients no trace of their work would now exist. and the The Hercines of Novels. If I were his Satanic majesty and a novelist came to me for judgment I should beetle my brows in a horrible manner and quiz him thos: "Did you ever make your heroine eighteen years old? Did you ever en- dow a maiden with the repartee of Pinero, the intuition of Blavatsky, the carriage of Garden, the hauteur of the the wisdom of Athene--all at the age of eighteen yqars?" If the novelist answered me "Cer tainly not!" I should say, "To heaven with you!" But if he answered, "Sure, I 4d!" 1 would blast him where he stool. For of all the iniquitous, fallacious, unfair and dangerous doctrines this takes, the icing off the cake--that the female speciés reaches her apogee at the immature age of eighteen.--George Weston in Saturday Evening Post.

Thére are various methods of so marking the national cufrency, one »f the most novel of which is the pinprick. . The note to be marked is, say, the five dollar silver certificate bearing the vignette of an Indian chief in his full regalia of feathers and trappings and presenting a full face view. With the aid of a pin the §pcret service man makes two punctures in the bili direct ly in the pupils of the Indian's eyes. «To the casual and sometimes even critieal inspector of the note these pin- pricks are invisible. If raised to the light, however, the bill will distinctly reveal them. The markings are complicated by the plied In the twist of the large figure 5 at the two upper corners of the note. These tiny twists do not appear in the "necks" of the two figures 5 that are at both ends of the bottom of the note, The note is now pierced again, this time in the ends of the scrolls on each side of the word five in the lower center of the bill. The marking is now com- plete. In secret it is exhibited to one or more persons for purposes of identi- fication and is then placed in the till or 'money drawer to which the suspected person has access. It is said that the pinpricks will re- main perfect for some time. When such bills are produced in court and their marking is explained under oath conviction is practically certain. --Ev- ery Week. MELODY DEAFNESS. To Those Who Are Afflicted With It Music Is Simply Noise. Every one has heard of color biind- ness, but few people are aware that there is such a malady as tune deaf- ness. It prevents those affected from appreciating music, which to the melo- dy deaf is nothing but noise. The most intelligent people often suf- fer in this way. Empress Catherine of Russia used to declare that for her music was a nerve trying din, and Na- poleon I. hated any form of melody. Victor Hugo had to be coaxed by the composer who put his famous lines to music. "Are not my verses," he used to say, "sufficiently harmonious to stand without the assistance of disa- greeable noises?" Doctors say that the power to appre- ciate music depends upon a perfect combination of the nerves and brain Some people's nerves readily carry mu- sical gpunds to the mind, while in oth- ers nerves impede their passage to the brain cells. Good musicians are more often born than made. Nature has provided them with nerves which instinctively carry musical chords to the brain. That is why a good musician can memorize a tune after hearing it played over once. Every note has been clearly recorded in his brain. Those with less sensitive musical nerves reeeive a dull impression of any music they may hear, and thus they are unable to remember it unless it is drummed into their brain by repeated playing.--Pearson's Weekly, Ingenious Air Bombs. Bombs thrown from the air are usu- ally exploded by contact. With the Martin Hale bomb, designed specially to be dropped from aeroplanes, there is a 'safety pin" which renders the bomb harmless until it has been withdrawn and until a fall of about 200 feet through the air has caused the propel ler to rotate and release the firing mechanism. All destructive explosives cause damage by the actual shock of the eXplosion--that is, by the disturb ance in the aie created by the expan- sion of the contents of the shell, by the fragments of the shell or the bullets which it contains flying in all direc tions, by the fumes which may be give en off on explosion and which may have a stupefying or fatal effect on people in the vicinity and by the fall- ing of bricks and mortar displaced by the bombs.--London Mail.
