The destructive effects of lightning are faull'
lar TO all of you. All the more ordloary effects
can easily be reproduced by the help OF Lsyden
.rs on small scale. How small you may
easily conceive when tell ycu that three foot
spark is considered long ore, even for mos t
powerful msch;nes, wbilo it is quite c'rtalu
that ishtning q Sues often exceed mile IN

worthy observer. seems 10 imply discharge
over total length OF nearly teu miles Whsn
q tree is struck by violent dlschsrge 1t Is usu-
slly split up literally into mere hbres. more
moderate discharge may rupture the ctanoels
through which the sap h,Ws. and thus the tree
NAV be killed without suffering any apparent
external damage. These results are usually
assigned to the sudden vaporizaticn OF moisture,
and the idea is probably accurate tor lt IS easy

dsnpess of the explosion makes 1t sct 10 all
directions, and not s,ley 10 that OF lease
resistance. When we think OF the danger OF
leaving even few drops of water 10 mold lot"

no difficulty 10 thus accounting tor the violent
disruplvo effects produc"d By lIghtnlog:
Hssed air is found to conduct better thao ood

Several times it is recorded that such
violent ttuuler storms were seen to
