How to Escape From Lightning.

Many people, and especially women,
nave great dread of lightning. For
that reason they will not carry bits of
metal in their pockets during storm.
Others get as far away from the
piano as possible, believing the wires
to he a great point Of danger. And
there are still others who will not set
near window.
! Prof. J. w. Lengley, an expert elec-
trical engineer, declares that the mid
die of the room is the safest place dur
ing storm.
There is a constant tendency on the
part of electricity in the sky to reach
the ground, he said. To do this it must
have a conductor. Atmospheric cleo
tricity always follows the out side OF
the conductor or agency that leads it to
the ground. That's why the middle of
the room is the safest during an elec-
trical storm.
More people are struck 10y lightning
in the country than in the cities The
reason for this Is lccause the builders
haye unwittingly safcguardcd the cit.
les. Buildings have tin and copper
caves and troughs. Many of the roofs
are of metal. Wires everywhere. All
these things are conductors.
Lightning mnst concentrate itself
IL must find the weakest spot. But tn,
city is so generally covered with con
ductors that there is practically ne
weakest spot. In the country it i,
different. One tree is higher than the
rest. Perhaps there is II stream o
water beneath it. That tree is tn,
weakest spot in the wood and the
lightning destroys it. A farmhous,
stands in the vacant lot. There are nc
other houses near. That house is tn,
weakest spot, and there the lightning
strikes.

Look at Your Mail.

The postal authorities have fixed a
penalty of 5000 on persons taking mail
out OF the post office other than their
own and not returning it. The law is
to have people look at their mail be-
fore taking it out of the office, and
should they have mail ther than their
own they must return it at once. IT
also includes newspapers. The excuse
that it is the postmaster's fault cuts no
figure. If you have been getting 9TH
er peoples mail take warning or you
may get into very serious trouble.
