The Effect of lightning on Trees.

The Effect Of lightning on Trees.
The theory that the splitting of
the trunks of trees by lightning is
the result of the liquids contained
within them, has received much cons
firnation from experiment made by
Osborn Reynolds, who succeeded
in splitting small sticks of wood by
passing the electric spark through
them, after they had been impreg~
mated with water. He also burst
small glass tnbes, which were filled
with water, although the same
tubes, when empty, allowed the
electric spark to jump through them
without in the least disturbing e
them. The most striking expert,
ment made by him was upon a tube
three eighths of an inch exterior
and one-eighth interior diameter
which could stand a pressure of a,
least 200 atmospheres to the square
inch; this tube was fourteen inches
long ard ben. at a right angle. A
very large electric flash being SEM
through the tube it was plit by the
first discharge. and the pieces
thrown to q distance of several feet
The inner surface of the tube was
in fact, completely pulverzed, al
though it had been struck By {
hammer. Reynolds estimates tha
the pressure must have been NOR
than 1000 atmospheres.
