Ozone and Pine Trees.

What Is the reason that pine and fir
trees and others OF the species are
surrounded more than other trees by
ozone and that therefore forests OF the
needle leaved" trees are so health
giving? If the theory of Professor
Lemstrom OF Helsingfors Is correct
this can now be explained, for the
needles" act on the atmosphere as
generators of electricity. so that the
trees are always surrounded by elec.
trlcty and consequently by ozone.
Professor Lemstrom began his re.
searches In this direction by studying
the uses OF the spikes or boards" of
grain (wheat and rye), which he found
to be generators of electricity, which
the plant requires for its proper devel-
opment.
