LIGHTNING A PROLIFIC
SOURCE OF FOREST FIRES

Exhaustive inquiry has established
the fact that lightning ranks next to
railroads as source of forest fires.
Forest officers say that the increas
ing care with fire on the part of the
railroads and the public generally
tends to make lightning the largest
single contributing cause.
This statement represents a change
of view from that held less than de-
cade ago in this country, when for
est journals gravely argued whether
lightning caused forest fires, though it
was known that trees were the OBJ
jects most often struck Trees are
said to be oftenest struck simply be-
cause they are SO numerous, and eX-
tending upward they shorten the dis
lance between the ground and the
clouds; further, their branches in the
air and roots we'll into the earth in
vite electrical discharges.
While certain trees are said to in
wife lightning, and others to be i'm
mune from stroke, it seems to be a
fact that any kind of tree will be
struck, and the most numerous tree
species in any locality is the one most
likely to sucer.
Other things being equal, lightning
seeks the tallest tree, or an isolated
tree, or one on high ground. A deep
rooted tree is a better conductor than
a shallOw-rooted one, and tree full
of sap, or wet with rain, is OF course
a better conductor than a dry one.
Lightning sets fire by igniting the
tree itself, particularly when it is
dead, or partly decayed and punky, OF
be igniting the dry humus or duff at
it's base. The forest soil, when. dried
out, ignites readily, because it is
made of partly decayed twigs and
| leaves, and it can hold a smoulderine
fire for a considerable period. 1t is
probable that most of the lightning
set fires start in the duff.
In the mountains of Southern Cal
ifornia, Arizona and New Mexico
| there are likely to be each year g
number of electrical disturbances
known as dry thunder storms" They
come at the end of the long dry sea
son, and being unaccompanied by
rain are very likely to start many
serious fires. For this reason the for
est service has to keep up it's maxi
mum fire fighting strength in those
regions until the rains are fully es
tablished. In the plans and organi
zation for fire fighting the service
aims particularly to catch these IN
preventable lightning-set fires at the
! time they start.

FILES SECOND CASE
AGAINST F, MILLER

Another echo in the domestic trou-
blcs of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Z. Miller
was heard in city court today when an
affidavit was filed against Miller by
his sister-in-law, Mrs. William Pugh,
South Eighth street, charging him with
assault and battery. Yesterday Miller
entered habeas corpus proceedings in
the circuit court to secure the custody
of his two-year-old daughter, and Mon
day he drew a fine of $25 and costs
and thirty days in Jail for assaulting
his wife. which ruling he appealed to
the circuit court.
When Miller attacked his wife at
the Pugh home Saturday night and
beat her SO severely she was rendered
unconscious, in which condition she re-
manned for nearly an hour, Mrs. Pugh
sought to protect her sister, with the
result that she was struck and kicked
by her brother-in-law. Prosecutor Rel
Ter said today that he had been in
formed that Miller showed one of the
women partly through a plate glass
window in door,
1t is probable Miller will be ar
raigned on the charge filed against
him by Mrs. Pugh in city court tomor
row morning.
The hearing of the. nabeas corpus
case promises to be very spicy pro
cedure.
