DANGER SPOTS IN A STORM.
Places to Avoid When the Lightnin q
Is Flashing

Is Flashing.
Out of doors trees should be avoided
in a thunderstorm, and if from the ra-
pidlty with which the explosion fol
lows the fash it is evident that elec.
tric clouds are near at hand recum-
bent posture is the safest. 1t is seldom
dangerous TO take shelter under sheds,
carts or low buildings or under the
arch of a bridge. and distance of
twenty or thirty feet from tall trees or
houses is an eligible situation, for
should a discharge take place these
elevated bodies are most likely to re
ceive 1t.
1t is well also to avoid water. for 1t
is good conductor. and the height of
a human being near the stream may
determine the direction of a discharge.
Within doors we are tolerably safe in
the middle of n carpeted room or when
standing on thick hearth rug. The
chimney should be avoided on account
of the conducting power of the carbon
deposited in it, and gilt holdings or
bell wires are sources of risk. In bed
we are tolerably safe, since blankets
and feathers are bad conductors.
1t is injudicious to take refuge in a
cellar. because thC discharge Is often
from the earth to n cloud. and build
ings frequently sustain the greatest
Injury in their easements.

THE PORCUPINE. srr -
Only Known Creature That Eats the
Foliage of the HemIock.


You don't have 20 sl1irmish around
much TO get feed to fatten one of these
hemlock porcupines on says an old
woodsnan. Just sprinkle some salt
over a stick of eordwood or saw log for
that matter. and he'll eat the whole
business and enjoy it as you would
mince pie" The customary diet of
these animals is hemlock browse. They
make themselves a home in hollow
log or under the roots of some old tree,
but always within reach of big hem
lock.
The hemlock is their pasture. and
they make beaten paths going to and
fro between the tree and their home
Once up in a tree the porcupine goes
out on the big limbs and. pulling the
small branches in with one paw,
browses ON the pungent leaves. In go
ing through the woods you will find
little piles of these fine leaves on the
ground under hemlock trees. That
means that a porcupine is feeding in
the tree. the leaves on the ground be-
ing dropped from his feast.
Sometimes porcupine will remain
in hemlock tree for a week at time,
hugging close TO the trunk at night
and feeding during the day. This curl
GUS little beast Is the only known liv-
ing thing that eat- the foliage of the
hemlock.
