trees. and It appears from statistics
that more are killed when seeking
safety under oak trees than under
beech trees, hut this may be due to
the relative abundance Of those trees
or to the nature of the soil in which
they grow.
Avoid a solitary high tree. but seek
protection in wood or clump Of many
small trees In house avoid during
a storm placing yourself between two
large and prominent conductors of
electricity. such as the water pipe
or the gas main and the fireplace If
the house is a detached one or corner
house in n row aud the storm Is close
you may do well to retire into the
basement until the storm is over. On
the whole, the long rows Of houses Of
fairly equal height In the streets OF a
great town are about as safe as any
place during an electric storm. They
are so safe that II is not thought
worth while to protect them with
lightning conductors. The Eiffel tower
in Paris. being entirely built of iron,
is a huge lightning conductor and has
been photographed in storms with
forked lightning harmlessly playing
about its head.

Some Subsurface Basins Are Almost
Chemically Pure.


Water Is found In some amount in
all formations below the earths sur

the merest trace chemically combined

that refined chemical analysis shows
only minute traces OF organic and

The slope q the surface at any point
is one factor determining the amount
of water absorbed by the ground. The

SAFETY FROM LIGHTNING.
Places Of Danger 10 Avoid During
Thunderstorms.


Sir Ray Lancaster has been COM
planning In the British press Of the
fact that science has given the general
public little information ON how to be
safe In electrical storms.
The greatest danger for a human
being In thunderstorm Is TO be the
highest projecting object on the sur.
face. Hence Il is dangerous TO be out
on a golf links or hillside or In a
small boat ON water. The wise thing
is to take shelter In house. or, II
that is not accessible, I'm a cave. or
under ovrrhanglng rock, or IN hole
or to lie fiat. Many more persons are
struck, according TO statistics. In the
open than when taking shelter under
