TREES MOST APPECTED HT LIGHTNING. —Fig
trees and cedars are rarely *track by light's», ; the beech,
larch. Sr, and cheenat are obnoxious to it ; but the trees
which attract it most are the oak, yew, and Lombardy
poplar. Whence it follows that the last are the trees most
proper to be placed sear a building, Risco they will sot like
so many lightning conductors to it. Again, the electric
fluid attacks in preference suck trees as are verging to de-
cay by reason of age or diaease.—Aattricon pap".
