AS general thing the lightning does not strike within

person is rod distant he is seldom if ever killed Now
There are 04O0 square rods in square mile and if the
lightning struck rod after rod it would take 100 years to
go over 1t but 1t smes here and there and that it will
smite any specified rod there more than one canc,
to a hundred billion.
Again other things being equal the chance dmipishes
as it regards low object the difference between the
square OF ITS height aud that of lower; that with
person SIX feet and tree sixty feet there is but one
chance out of 1864 of the PERSONS being struck If he
will go close to tree or in house without rod his
danger is proportionally increased.
