Iron in Oak Trees,

The curious question has beeA assod
why oaks and elms are especially lia
bic TO be struck by lightning. 1t was
declared in 1887 that the elm, chest
nut, oak and pine were the most often
struck in America, and in 1860 CD.
Syihonds stated that the elm, oak, Ash
aud poplar were the most freqnettly
struck in England. A Magdebarg
record, covering ten years, reports in
jnries TO 265 trees, l65 being oaks 81
Scotch fires, 32.pines and 20 beecbes.
1t has been suggested that the ire.
quency with which oaks are struck is
due to the presence of iron in the wood.
