N. 0.1 DR. STEINMETZ TALKS ABOUT LIGHTNING. In a recent paper read before the Electrical Section of the Franklin stitute, Dr.

Charles Proteus Steinmetz, the electrical genius of the General Electric Company, disclosed some very interesting facts about lightning and thunder in general. "In the early days lightning was explained as the discharge of the clouds," says Dr. Stelnmetz, "The clouds were thought to be positively charged, and the ground negatively charged, the sparks jumping from the cloud to the ground. Speculations made as to how the clouds came charged, and as then the only method of producing electricity was by friction, It was said it might be the friction of the vapor through the air, or the rain drops through the air, or some other form of friction. That explanation used to appear tory, but with our present knowledge of dielectric phenomena, it is not satisfactory any more.

"It was thought that lightning was the discharge from the cloud to the ground. That means that the electric Held between the cloud and the ground must be beyond the down strength of air. In a uniform field the breakdown strength of air is about 75,000 volts per Inch, or ly a million volts per foot. Even If the cloud is only 1000 feet above the ground, this would require a thousand million volts. If there were an trostatic field betwen the cloud and the ground of a thousand million volts extending over the whole area of the thunder cloud, this would represent such an immense amount of electric energy that it is inconceivable how any reasonable source of energy can produce it how it can exist without having a destructive effect far beyond anything known of lightning.

ermore, a uniform field cannot well exist between clouds and ground, on account of the unevenness of the ground surface. "We cannot consider the lightning discharge as a simple electric rupture in the same way that an overloaded beam may break mechanically, but as an equalization of internal stresses, such as a piece of hot glass that is rapidly chilled and thereby full of internal compression and tension suddenly breaking all over by the internal stresses. So with our present knowledge we must consider this as the most probable explanation not certain by any means the lightning discharge Js the phenomenon of the'equalizatlon of ternal electric Btresses in the cloud, and is analogous to the splintering or breaking of an unevenly stressed tle material, like glass. Lightning discharges arc tbe result of the inequalities produced In the jfeiouds by the unequal rate of glomeration of rain particles due to the unequal cloud density. "In agreement with this is that Bfeavy lightning strokes are usually followed by a heavy downpour of rain, in reality they are preceded and ed by it, but it takes time Jor the rain drops" to come down.

"The lightning rod Is a great tection and I would not like to be In an exposed place without such tion. But you must not expect that one rod on one end of the building will completely protect the other end a hundred or more feet away. There must be sufflcledt rods to extend their protective zone over the entire area the apex of the roof, and other jecting edges must be protected by connecting wires, etc. That Is, like any other apparatus, the lightning rod protection must be installed gently and properly to be effective. But the general principle Is correct, only it must be rationally applied.

The reflection on the people of the western part of the state about the alleged resubmission influence on the voting Is resented by the people of that section. rrrrrr FARMER KILLED BY GOODKICK, July K. Reldwlg. a prominent and ono of the best known Certnan citizens of Sheridan county, Htruck by lightning and instantly killed while working in the field on farm three miles west of McCIusky.

Mr. ileiswig leaves a wife and sev eral children. to mill mtwc (JUKI fUSIEI ill FLASHER, July Catholics of Flasher and vicinity will be pleas ed to learn that Right Kev.

Vincent Wherle, Bishop of Bismarck, will say Mass here on Sunday, July 14, in Ber rier's hall. It is expected that Father Ambrose and other priests will be here and officiate in the service. It is hoped that all Catholics in this neighborhood will endeavor to be pres ent, as after Mass a business meeting will be held for the purpose of taking up the matter of building a Catholic church in Flasher. There is a strong following of Catholics in the territory surrounding Flasher and there Is no question but that the building of a Catholic church here would meet with and be easily accomplished. VMIAN TAKEN Tl STATE ASYLUM TON, July Catherine Novak, was arrested by Deputy iff Tverberg and after a brief exam ination by the insanity board was committed to the Jamestown.asylum, This woman's life has been pliable in the extreme.

She married and shortly after the birth of her teenth child her husband became in curabiy insane. Supporting and cating such a large family as her's is a task worthy of the strongest man and naturally it proved a crushing hardship for a sorrow-laden woman She bore her heavy cross with re' markable fortitude because of her re llgious devotion and the kind ance of her brother, Jacob Birder, of Park River. His tragic death while enroute to the Democratic National convention at St. Louis several years ago left her alone with overwhelming sorrow and money stringency. Since then the joy of life never animated her and during the iast two years her mind has been more or less deranged.

Recently her mania has been the struction of furniture, pictures and dishes. Her son, Joseph, will act as administrator for her homestead in Rushford township, northeast of sek. She is of Bohemian nativity and Is 57 years of age. PROSPERITY ASSURED BY RECENT RAINS PIERRE, July rains of the past three days for the western half of the state have changed the whole outlook for many sections. While wheat, which was not well put in, and some that has been damaged by the hot, dry weather of the last week in June, the corn, flax, potato and hay crop was not in any danger, and with the rainfall which has ranged close about two inches for the whole of the western half of the state, the outlook for continued good conditions means nothing more than normal cipitation for the rest of the year, and the ground has been so thoroughly soaked that most sections could pull through even if the rainfall should fall below normal for the rest of the growing season.

But it was just the kind of a rain the northwest needed ana it has assured thousands of lars to the farmers. Child's Foot Cut Off.

The real condition of our farmers as sl)own by their grains and other products when exhibited at the big shows is the best advertisement this county can possibly have. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

So it is with our county. We can Bhow the investor or land seeker that we can raise a superior article of farm produce, it will inure to our benefit generally. We can't do it by keeping our light under a bushel. Let all the officers, as well as all others who can, attend this meeting and lend every possible ment to the league.

HRES WERE SET AT HILLSDORO HILLSBORO, July barn was entirely destroyed and three ers partially ruined early Friday morning at Hillsboro, when a blaze of incendiary origin broke out in the barn of Sever Nelson and spread to adjoining buildings.

m. and in a few minutes the lire department there and a large brigade of citizens were fighting the flames with buckets, hose and other paraphernalia. It ed that the firebug had done his work well, however, and the Sever Nelson barn was burned to the ground. An auto shed belonging to P. J.

Berg, the barn of C. F. Dutcher and the barn of John Olson had the ends badly scorched and would also have been flame ridden but for the work of the department and citizens. The loss will total several thousand dollars. The citizens of the Traill county metropolis are up in arms over the event, this being about the fifteenth fire started by mysterious hands within the past five years.

There has been a standing reward for the prit for some time past, and the amount has been doubled by the zens there. A certain man pf middle age, who is said to to of weak mind, is suspected of the crimes, but if he is the guilty party he covers his tracks well, as strenuous efforts to connect him with the starting of the fires have proved unavailing to date. The watch will be kept up, however, and according to a prominent boro resident, something is hound to drop if the guilty party is caught with the goods. GOING TO THE LAKES.
