I [| ABOUT LIGHTNING. : j !- The' Trees Which are Moat Frequent- f ly Struck?Some of Those Which ,1 r* are <'onrpnrHtlvely Exempt From .-jjjlj Coutact with the Fatal Fluid. | A curious thing about lightning Is ? that with all its disposition to strike \?g| 1 1 trees it has in a blind sort of way of its. >48 jj m own a preference between varieties. 3 J This singular fact was observed more 1 e than a hundred years ago, when it was ,j announced in general terms that the y elm, chesuut, oak and pioe were often :al e struck, the ash rarely, and the beech, ':fn e birch and maple never. Further ob- , /'|| , servation showed that the last state- I meat is not true. Jt is a fact, however, 'Z&SM g that the oak is most frequently and the %: J | t beech the least trequently struck The 8 tj values are something like, 'if 1 repre- . sents the frequency for the beech tree, [. and 15 for pinep, other trees generally . ~<3Ss d averaged at 40, and the oaks at 54. ' 1 j Trees struck are generally those Btand8 ing in the clear or on the edge of for- -^IS f ests, and in height from 52 to 66 feet. '^E . The trunk appears to be struck about three times as often as the boughs. j The stroke usually travels to the e ground only jumping to other trees I \ about three times in a hundred. 9 3 It is dangerous to stand under trees, -'-9 r in the doorways of barns, close to cat- 9 3 tie, or near chimneys and fireplaces during thunder storms. On the other nJSS I hand, no safety is gained by going to 't? I bed or trying to insulate oueselr in \ feather beds. Small-articles of iron or V . steel do not have the power to attraot I lightniug or determine the path of diecharge. Nor will a few inches of glass 8 ' or a few feet of air serve as a compe- J [ tent insulator to bar the progress of a 'sH r flanh of lightning that has forced itB . way through a thousand feet of air. fl| There are no competent records rSH which show what proportion of per I sons struck by lighi tiini; are killed out- * light. Prof. McAdle says he knows of \ out one record, and in that of 212 per-. ,.''31 sons struck, 74 were killed. Therefore, , he urges that where a person has been struck t>y lightning the effort to stlmu. late respiration and circulation should . ;S| not cease in less than au hour's time.
