LIGHTNING and Forest Fires.

Lightning is held responsible for
most OF the forest fires this year, ana
while the number of severe local
thunderstorms has been somewhat
exceptional, this is a fresh reminder
that the exercise of care by railroads
and campers, good in itself, can never
yield full protection. No matter how
well the laws are observed there
must be fires from time to time,
kindled as nature has been kindling
them for ages; origin, perhaps, of the
Prometheus legend. The remedy
must be found in the gradual and sys-
tematic application of scientific fores-
try, including fire lanes and the care
ful clearing away of brush and fallen
timber. There is need. too, Of
further extension Of the patrol serv-
ice, with a network Of watchtowers
from which an incipient fire can be
quickly discerned In this state such
network is nearly complete. and
with the help of the telephone
