Weather Bureow fh ICTEN-EXCLUSIVELY-FOR NEA-SERVICE——— 1 St. Elmo's fire—which is also called corposants, and by several other names—is one of the mysterious phenomena of the atmosphere. Ample and accurate information is be found in comparatively few sci- entific books, and the majority of these are in foreign languages. The phenomenon has been known to mankind from remote antiquity and is far from rare, yet it is likely that not one person in 10,000 has ever wit- nessed it. St. Elmo's fire is a first cousin of lightning. It occurs chiefly in thun- dery weather and is a brush dis- charge of electricity, in the shape of small jets and flames, chiefly from pointed objects, including lightning rods, the masts and spars of vessels, t the angles of roofs, etc. ‘The is accompanied by a hissing or crackling sound, which is sometimes heard in the daytime, when the “fire” itself is invisible on ac- count of its comparatively feeble lu- minosity. The discharge also occurs in snow storms and dust storms. Since most of the well-known de- scriptions of St. Elmo's fire relate to its appearance at sea, the impres- ‘sion ‘prevails, outside of scientific cir- cles, that it is exclusively or chicfly @ marine phenomenon. As a matter of fact, however, it is much more common and also more striking in its manifestations on mountains than anywhere else. In this country it is well known on the higher siopes of the Rockies and the Sierras. It oceurs, however, on lowlands as well as in mountainous regions, and in all latitudes. The Egyptian pyra- I mids are occasionally adorned with it, and some brilliant displays have ") been seen during blizzards in the. » Antarctic. | ‘At sea the discharges sometimes “take the form of one or two star- like objects at the trucks of the masts or the tips of the yardarms, but occasionally the spars, rigging ‘and other parts of the ship are light- | » ed up with a great number Of sta- tionary or moving flames, producing weird spectacle. Many supersti- tions concerning these lights have; prevailed among sailors. Tomorrow: The records of the climates. CHURCH NOTICE Hl Seventh Day Adventist Church | 623 Seventh St. R. R.
