According to a London weather-bureau
report, there are about 1500 thunder-
storms in progress every minute through
out the world, giving 360.000 lightning
flashes an hour or 100 every second. Ob
servations made from 3.000 stations, in
dicate that the earth experiences 16.000,
000 storms of this character each year,
about 44.000 daily. At certain posts in
tropical countries, during tho rainy, sea

occurrence that the observer frequently

Oil Extracted from Locus ..'
Lubricates Watches
Oil extracted from locusts is being used
in South Africa as a substitute for por
poise oil as a lubricant for watches and
other delicate mechanisms. The insects
are fed into presses which crush them and
the resultant oil is refined and allowed to
stand for a year. Its quality isthen deter
mined by its color, consistency -and odor.
The solid matter remaining after the oil
is extracted, is made into cakes that are
used for poultry feed and defray much of
the expense of making the oil.
