But years of careful study and ex.
perimenting show that any kind of
tree is likely to be struck by light
ming.
In temperate climates thunder
storms, with lightning, occur most
commonly during the summer usually
in the afternoon. In the United States
they are four or five times as frequent
east of the Rocky mountains Is west,
emitting from consideration parts
Of Arizona and New Mexico This is
due, as explained later, to the general.
ly mountainous condition of the west
Lightning is most frequent in Florida
and Illinois.
In Cuba severe thunderstorms are
frequent, and trees are often struck
and killed The pine only is reported
ignited.
Lightning is extremely rare il
Alaska, and no forest fires are known
to have resulted from it.
1t does not follow that the trees
most liable to ignition by lightning art
the ones most responsible for fores
fires. While in general one species
may be more infammable than an
other, the degree Of inflammabilit!
varies with the locality and season
The tree most often struck and ignitet
in the west is the western yellow pine
J which grows in open, park-like stands
where the fire hazard is small.
A tree may be set on fire by light
ming and burn for days without tn
flames spreading to other trees or t
the ground, and II the latter be FIRE
from litter, as is often the case Il

chances of the fire spreading ar

jority Of forest fires caused by ligh

y bility Ia that some forest fires ar
started by lightning striking tn

.FRESH-AIR HOUSES FOR EGGS
Excellent Results Secured by Leaving

Straw Used for Litter.

Some years ago, while trying to
make poultry pay on a small scale,
tried the open-air house By making
a screen door at one end and leaving
this open day and night l secured
twice as many eggs as in my other
houses not so provided, says a writer

good results. Wheat straw is spread
in the chicken house to the depth OF
six inches. In this the feed is scat.
tered, oats, wheat, barley sorghum
seed, etc, for morning and noon feeds.
The evening meal consists of mash
Of boiled potatoes thickened with
bran, beef meal, little ground oats
and cornmeal slightly sailed. After
the fowls have eaten all they want
feed ear corn for finish. Beef scrap,
charcoal, grit and oyster shell are con-
stantly before them. The straw Is
cleaned out every day and replaced
with fresh the next morning. If the

stay in doors, replace twice a day.

persistent popular belief regarding
immunity Of some trees and liability
of others have given rise to the fol.

likely to be struck:
/. Tall trees: Because they reach
high toward the electrically charged
cloud and therefore lessen the dis
lance with the fash must traverse

trees are conceived to be part of the
earth, extending upward and inviting
the stroke.
2. Trees with pointed crowns
Because they invite, to their one apex,
single full-pressure flash. Trees
with rounded crowns, favor the diff,
fusion of the flash into a spray.
5. Trees with pointed leaves: Be.

easily to and from pointed terminals
4. Trees with smooth or shiny
leaves Because a smooth surface in
vites flashes, while hairy or wOolly
surface presenting a multitude of fine
points. favors diffusion.
5. Trees with deeply grooved bark;
Because bark deeply grooved longi

From early times there has been
belief that certain trees more than
others are likely to be struck by light
ming The elder Pliny said Light
ming never strikes the laurel" This
tree was also called bay, and wreaths
of its leaves we're worn BY ancient
rulers both as a symbol Of victory and
as a protection from the lightning OF
the gods Seneca and Plutarch held a
similar belief, which may be traced
down even to modern times, but the
theory as now held includes a number
of trees, different in various countries.
This belief was so firmly established
that such trees as the beech, locust
holly, olive walnut, birch, elder
mistletoe and liye-for-ever, supposed
to be effective in warding off light.
ming, We're placed near dwellings.
To this day there are many who
still insist that the beech is never
struck, while in parts of the United
States the aspen is considered i'm.
mune from lightning.
On the other hand. 1t was believed
that such trees as the oaks, particu-
larly cork oak, had very bad repu-
tition for attracting lightning, and
this belief prevails even now. There
is a proverb:
Avoid the oak, flee from the spruce
but seek the beech"
And also:
Beware the oak, It draws the
stroke.
Avoid the ash, 1t courts the fash.
Creep under the thorn, twill save
from harm"
