Adjutant General Common in speak
ing lightning striking trees recalls
having recently read in LittelIs Maya
zine, some interesting figures which
show the evident choice which light
ming has for oak trees.
Some records were made by a
forester in township of Germany, ex-
tending over a period of II years, of
the trees which were struck. The re-
suits showed the oak had the first
choice; pine the second and fir the
third. And this was in forest of
which seven-eishts of the trees were
beech trees. What there is about the
oak which so attracts the fluid, is a
question. 1t is thought that the shape
has nothing to do with it. for in this
way, the beech very much resembles
the oak
The oak is provcrbial for being
struck, but there are doubtless few
cases on record where such careful
figures have been taken Of the light
ning's work, as were by the German
foresters.

by one who has heard it. The time to
act is when the child first becomes
