WHEN THUNDER COES UP There Is hardly auy night more welcome to cooped up city dwellers on some sticky hot night than to look off to the northwest and see heat lightning flashing on the horison When Ihe sky la lit by these far-off silent gleams, we know that ihe end of the heat wave Is at hand. These flashes of lightning are on the Under of a ms*.* (4 cold air that Is romlug lu. Tbe place where imlar and equatorial air meet la called a "storm front.- It I* a place of wind, where storms and lightning happen, lu a little while there wIH lie rain and tbeu It will grow cooler aud pleasanter. But wbv Is heat lightning noiseless? When lightning strikes close to you. the sound of tbe thunder I* deafening. When the twit of lightning strikes farther away there Is a long rolling peal id thunder, as sound waves from different parts of tbe flash come to your ears. Hut no thunder sound Is heard from heat lightning. When llghiiiiug that Is close by makes «o much noise, this lark cd thunder from far-off lightning may seem odd The reason why there isn't any noise is Interesting. As you know, the earth Is a big hall i-urved The air about 11. of course, is carved too. Now, when sound vibrations meet a curved surface they are bent, or refracted, as scientists say. away from the inside of the curve, that Is upward. Round waves from far-off lightning are bent away from the ground, and tbe sound of the thunder paaars over your bead, and on Into the upper air. But sometime*, though very rarely, the sound of far-off thunder does rome liack to earth, and then meteorologists postulate that there must have been a mass of hot air high up In the stratosphere, so warm that It nould refract thunder sound down again to the ground. The usual state license, to produce a receipt •bowing ppll and personal taxes are paid.

Q Could your fishing chart be u»ed for 1942 If followed with the same changes of the inoon as In 1941? H.J H Mmu. A. No. The sun and moon will he in a different altgument in 1942. Q What causes tbe water to rise and sink In the bottle of your barometer? Is It the atmoapbi-rlc pressure? VJ.P.-Ky. A. A certain quantity of water In the liotlle evaporates and makes sleaiu. This pressure forces more of the water up tbe tube. (11l the steam pressure Jitsi balances ihe air pressure oyislde the bottle. When the outside air pressure falls, tbe si earn forces the water higher When pressure of air rises, It pushes the water liack down the tube against tbe steam pressure In the bottle. Q. Why is It so cold on tbe desert at night, though daytime temp eratures are very high? T. 8. — Mas*. A. Band and rock radiate heal well.

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT Northcim was very sure of himaclf. Flared between Nino Lippi and tbe stocky Hsensei, Marie watched Felix Northern's personality Inks bold. She had seen it sway other people—herself, for instance. The high cheekbone formation and oriental cast of bis eyes lent singular fascination to his smile. His throaty voice colored his speech, and his anecdotes covered tbe globe. Who were these men he had picked up, she wondered. The Russian kept glaring at her ns if she were something contagious; the German, at her side, made compliments that made her think of hdavjr pastry. All Marie’s joy in her own friends had fled. She was hurt and ponied bresuse Tony hadn’t turned , np. It really w asn't nice of him I She felt gentler toward Nino who was humble and sad a* the luncheon progressed through its few but exquisite course*. Nino barely touched the delicacies on his plate. “Do not be so cruel to me, my darling,” he murmured over an indercribablc dessert. “I'm sorry, Nino." Impulsively, ■he put her hand over his, smiling np at him. Then she grew conacioua of the silence. Everyone was looking at her. She snatched her hand away, her cheeks crimson. Felix Northeim raised his glass—from the top of his imagined world “It la—l hope—not indiscreet—to drink to the happiness of my two dear young friends?" he said. It was a trick, Marie thought, furiously. They had planned it together. She whirled to her feet. “You are indiscreet and incorrect, Mr. Northeim," she said in her clear voice. “You are quite aware the Marcheee and I are wot engaged 1" Lippi seised her hand; tried to draw her down. She pulled away. "Please excuse me." The ring of faces blurred before her, as she turned end actually dashed from the restaurant. Jack Foster and Nino Lippt, recovering their wits, ran after her. It waa too late. Marie had vanished, see Marie Schuyler's hot-headed flight from the reetaurant paralysed the luncheon party. For Felix Northeim, it all but spelled eataatrophe. He bad been too confident; ho had talked out of turn. He seemed to thicken in hi* chair when Marie raced off, followed by the Marchess Lippi and Jack Foetar. No one else moved or spoke. Then, with an effort of will, Northeim laughed. “I should not, perhaps, have given the secret away.” He looked reassuringly at the only two men present who mattered. The Russian Vorodkin tapCd a cigarette against his bony nd. Friedrich Hsense! gazed ntolidly into spam. The silence of Susan Foster at Northeim'* right, and Mrs. Gavin Poole at his left, convicted him of atrocious taste . . . They, as well an Marie's other friends, Ann Wright, Saint-A mend and Bill Bogart, were quite unprepared for either the announcement of her engagement or her fiery denial of it. Their faces turned with common accord toward Eve Pryne who, ae a member of the party on the recent eruiee to Greece, should knew. Eve gat* one of her helpless shrugs.

continued, "that it was yours, Mr. . Northeim.” i So Luigi had caught her on the i run. Northeim answered with a - relief he didn’t try to conceal, "She ' will take a little drive and come . back to ns." His chest rounded I under the too perfect fit of his blue coat “A lovely girt," be murmured, i “bat temperamental.” Eve Pryne attended to her pink and whit* mako-up, with the aid of a small mirror. She was flustered. Os course, she Aod promised Tony Worth not to leave Marie for a minute. But she couldn’t foresee tvtrything. And, after all, Marie hadn't gone off with anyone. But Eve’s conscience pricked. Northeim pretended not to notice the increasing restlessness of his guests. “Shall we have coffee her* or in the loungeT” he asked them, genially. Seated, ba felt taller sad better -ble to dominate. He twisted bis short legs under his chair. Susan Foster roaa quietly, to stand beside her husband. As the other men sprang to their feet, Northeim could only do likewise. Mrs. Foster said, "I think, if you'll excuse us, Mr. Northeim, we’ll be getting along. HI write to Marie.” Her slight figure, in heather tweeds, seemed suddenly rather formidable. Ann Wright slid her compact Into her bag, and stood up, her expression unconcerned. “Thanks for the lunch, Mr. Northeim.” ah* said carelessly, and turned to Bogart. They sauntered off, joined by SaintAmand, who whispered, "I’d like to paint Northeim. He's a barbaric devil—a Bond Street Stalin!" Mrs. Gavin Poole gave her Anger tip* to Northeim. “If I don’t see the Marchese again, tell him he’s quite wasted on extrema youth," she marmured. “He must look me up when he comes to New York.” Eve left her Frenchman, and hurried after the Fosters. “Oh, do take me with you!” the said, breathlessly. “Perhaps we can find Marie.” She simply couldn’t stay behind with Northeim and tbe others. Bha poked her big, floppy hat into Bill Bogart’s eye, and ripped the hem of bar flowered chiffoa as eh* climbed into the car. Jack Foster said, drily, “Mari* can taka care of herself.’’ So many people said that about Marie. Betty Poole murmured, “Let’a go to Monte, break tbe bank, and dine at tha Caf* de Paris ” Bogart said, “There’s something about this ellmat* that turn* a hardboiled guy i into a fatalist. I’m supposed to fcw i in Paris, getting orders for my firm, i But soon Europe la going to live on the cuff, so why should I worry?" i And Saint-Amend said, dreamily, I “I wonder how many more portrait* I I’ll do this year. In th* last war, j artiste lest their eyes and arasi” ... No one said much after that. I *** I Lippi hadn't come back. Felix 1 Northeim found himself alone with ' H sensei and Vorodkin, wboas attl- ; tuda toward him had visibly < changed. They wen no longer an 1 receptive. They refused coffee and 1 liqueurs, and edged toward tha vet- < tibule. Vorodkin murmuring acidly, 1 “Mia* Schuyler and bar fine friends 1 don’t teem to like you, Northeim. I can't ass American millions pouring * from any such marriage bell.” 1 “A matter of joggling with the 1 bell," Nortbcira retorted, his tea- j per on edge. He bowed to a stoat woman, strung with pearls and ’ summer fora. “That was Mrs. Sam 1 Heller. Her husband ...” 1 "Is no doubt a millionaire,” Herr ' Haens*l put in, his voice dry. "I ' am not Interested in how many peo- . pie you know, Northeim, but bow ' well you know them. Our business : Ues not (a society, but with society.” : His ton* was hard. “Giv* me tonight and tomorrow ; morning," Northeim said, with a ' shrug, leading th* way into th* sun- J shine.
