I., In tho Monthly Weather Review says: Tho phenomenon of lInhtnlnB from n cloudless sl;y seems to be regarded In the stniea as ono of very raro occurrence, as It very likely Is. I cannot remember of ever obsorvlnR It while In tha Mates, but down here In tho West Indies It is of very fre- qucnt occurrence, so frequent, in fact, that it Is not regarded as remarkable by tha people. The appcaranco ot the flash Is that of sheet lightning, generally single flashes be ing seen at Intervals of from two to five minutes, and ngaln only two or three occa sional Hashes will be seen Curing nn even ing. They do not seem to be confined to any particular quarter of tho sky for local reasons, ns I have observed them In all quarters, I do not think Mashes are duo to falling meteors, but they may be tho re flected flashes ot distant thunderstorms, al though a clear sky certainly does not offer so good a reflecting surface as a clouded ono. However, I am Inclined to believe that tho theory of the exchange of electrici ties between vertical currents of air Is a very plausible explanation, for tho following reasons: In the first placo the phenomenon has always be.m observed in tho ovenlng. usually between 7 and 9 o'clock, never be fore 7, I believe, but soveral times after ! o'clock. As this latitude Is free from tho disturbing effects of ever-passing areas of I high and low preBsuro the diurnal phases of the weather are, therefore, very constant and much alike from day to day. So that ordinarily between 7 and 9 p. m. the tem perature falls, cool breezes spring up, n rapid clearing condition sets In, the clouds disappear sometimes like magic and by 9 m, the nky Is usually clear. Now, It Is always at this time, when tho colder cur rents nt air are dcsceudii g, causing the cool breezes and clearing condition and set ting up a vertical circulation with steep gradients, that the lightning Is seen. Some time tho sky Is not absolutely clear, a few clouds nearly always hanging over tho mountalna to the east nf the xtatlnn, but perhaps to the westward, whero not the lenst vostlgo of cloud Is visible. Then It Is about this time In the evening that the maximum electrification of tho air occurs and In view of the fact that the lightning alwnys occurs at the ono tlmo Is It not probable that the exchange of electricities between the descending and aacendlng cur rents, having different temporatures and humidities, and, therefore, different elec trical potentials, Is tho cause thereof? 1 may add that these lightning flashes havo been observed more frequently during tho hurrlcnno season, but Just what weathor conditions prevailed on the dates of occur' renco I am unable to say.
