Trees and Lightning.

About the most dangerous place to
seek shelter in a thunderstorm is under
an oak or elm tree, as was proved again
by the experience of a dozen persons in
Prospect Park, Brooklyn, only a short
time ago. This fact has long been
known to scientists, but many persons
are killed every year by lightning because
OF the lack or disregard of this knowl-
edge.
The total annual loss of life by light
ming is not known, for complete statistics
on the subject have never been kept. A
few years ago the United States Weather
Bureau attempted something of the kind
in a tentative way. It's experts figured
out the average number OF persons killed
by lightning yearly in the United States
as 312. But this was not complete.
From several states in the Union the
weather bureau received no reports.
The reports received did show that OF
all that lightning killed only few were
struck in the open field. Most of the
killed and injured, it was found, had
sought shelter from thunderstorms under
trees, in doorways of barns or near
chimneys.
While no record OF the kinds of trees
most often struck by lightning has ever
been kept in the United States, the Light
ming Rod Conference held in England in
1881 reported that in the United King
dom the trees most often struck were the
elm, oak, ash and poplar. 1t also said
that the beech, birch and maple were
seldom touched by lightning.
For period OF II years in the Prin-
cipality Of Lippe-Detmold exhaustive
records were kept Of all trees struck by
lightning. These showed that the trees
standing near water seemed to be the
most likely to be hit and gave this table
of comparative danger: Oaks, 100; elms,
II; pines, SO; frs, 10; fir trees in general,
81; beeches, by far the safest of all forest
trees, FL New York Sun.

NAVIGATING THE AIR
SCHEME BY NO MEANS IMPRAc-
TIcAL, SAYS WRITER.
That 1t 10 Possible To Lift and PropeI
Enormous Weights Has Been Dem
onstrated-outline Of One Ma
chine Under Construction.

Is aerial navigation practical? And
when is it coming? These questions
have occupied the minds and been the
aim of many distinguished men The
greatest drawback to experimenting
in this line is the expense connected
Herewith; otherwise 1 believe the
question would have been practically
solved long before now, says a writer
in the Chicago Chronicle. Wealthy
men as rule take. very little interest
in real progress unless profit is cen
nected Herewith and in sight.
Experiments have been carried on
for several years in the neighborhood
of Washington, and judging from
what I have seen, what has been es-
tablished, 1 % not hesitate to state
that is is possible to lift and propel
enormous weight through the air by
proper appliances, and 1 take pleasure
in submitting an outline of an appar-
atus sought by mankind for centuries,
which, from an engineering stand
point, seems to fulfill the conditions
for navigating the air Independent of
wind and weather.
The present apparatus contains one
engine of almost common type of
three horse power and weighing fifty
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1905-12-30

one pounds. The weight of the car,
including propeller, ETC., is fifty
pounds, making a total weight of 101
pounds, the total lifting power being
108. This leaves seven pounds for
oil, which is sufficient to lift the ma
chine and hold the same in the air
about two hours.
This is certainly gratifying, al
though the apparatus has no practical
value, except from a scientific stand
point and from an engineering point,
to be built further upon. And it can
not be seen why the true or practical
aerial locomotive can not be construc-
ted on this line. In the new plan two
engines will be employed each to have
at least fifty horse power, and they
can be constructed weighing about
five pounds per horse power, making
a total of 500 peounds. The weight
of car, etc., will be about the same.
This would be total of 1000 pounds;
one man, $50 pounds; oil for five
hours spin. 500 pounds; total weight,
1850 pounds. The lifting power per
engine being 1900 pounds, this leaves
sufficient margin for safety, the power
of one engine giving the desired direc-
ton and speed.
In ascending or descending the ma
chine will appear as shown in Figure
1, the weighted lever arm being in a
position which keeps the propelling
wheel in a line with center of gravity
of the apparatus.
Figure 2 shows the machine as it
appears when making horizontal
flight; it will advance in the direction
toward which the propelling shafts
may be inclined from the vertical.
The whole apparatus will be con-
structed of highest grade steel This
first will cost approximately $4,000,
machine in the first place and costly
to operate, as the fuel cost is about
100 pounds of oil per hour. The pro-
polling shafts are given an axia1 in
clination with reference to the center
of gravity of the car of the locomotive
in order to prevent counter rotation
of the car around the propelling
shafts. The two propelling wheels ro-
tate in opposite directions. Rarefac-
ton or negative pressure is produced
above the said propelling wheels. The
resulting difference between the
pressure upon the lower and upper
sides of the propeller wheels will give
the lifting power. The rotation of the
propelled wheels in opposite directions
exerts a great steadying effect upon
the locomotive by virtue of the 'gy-
ratory action"

Mans Debt to the Birds.

The lovers of birds who denounce
the wanton slaughter of these among
the most beautiful of Gods creatures
too frequently confine themselves to
the sentimental aspect of the case. The
sentiment, indeed, which they invoke
is powerful and wholesome enough,
but it by no means constitutes the
whole of the argument on behalf OF
our feathered friends. Science comes
forward to supplement that argument.
1t furnishes striking proof of the en-
ormous debt that we owe to the birds.
One investigator goes SO far as to
declare in a recent article on the
damage that is committed by insect
Lests that if the destructive insects
of the world were to increase tenfold
in any year the human race would be
deprived of existence. Among the
most effective allies of man in his bat
tie with these minute enemies are the
birds.-Boston Globe.
