A most unusual photograph of a lightning flash. When it is considered ‘that a million volts will produce a flash only a few inches long, some idea of the tremendous power released during a thunderstorm can be understood. The power sent out by a broadcasting station can be measured only in thousandths of a volt, so, to say that broadcasting has an effect up on the weather will not stand serious thought, Lightning is one of the causes of static.
