It we count the seconds that elapse between our seeing a flash of lightning and our hearing the thunder we can tell how far off the" thunderstorm la. As light travels 186,000 miles a second, we "may for all practical purposes regard ourselves as seeing the lightning the instant it flashes. But sound travels only 1.0S7 feet a second. If, then, we multiply 1.0S7 by the num-be- r of seconds that elapse after the flash before we hear the thunder, we get the distance that lies between us and the storm. If we count, five seconds, the flash is a mile away. As a rule, we do not bear the thunder at all if the storm is more than twelve to fifteen miles away from u But the In Symons Merule has exceptions. teorological Magazine Mr. Harold Wilson reports that last August he saw two flashes of lightning in the west northwest of England and only heard the thunder after intervals of 114 and 112 seconds respectively.
