Lightning a Prolific Source OF
Forest Fires
From the Forest Service, u. 8.
Department of Agriculture

From the Forest Service, u. 8.
Department OF Agriculture
Exhaustive inquiry has established
the fact that lightning ranks next to
railroads as a source of forest fires.
Forest officers say that the increasing
care with fire on the part of the rail-
roads 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 a de-
cade ago in this country, when forest
journals gravely argued whether light
ming caused forest fires, though 1t was
known that trees were the objects most
often struck. Trees are said to be Of
tenest struck simply because they are
SO numerous, and extending upward
they shorten the distance between the
ground and the clouds; further, their
branches in the air and roots well into
the earth invite electrical discharges.
While certain trees are said to invite
lightning, and others to be immune
from stroke, it seems to be q fact that
any kind Of tree will be struck, and
the most numerous tree species IN any
locality lie the one most likely to suffer.
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
shRllow-rooted one, and q tree full OF
sap, or wei with rain, is Of course a
better conductor than q dry one.
Lightning sets fires by igniting
the tree itself, particularly when 1t is
dead, or partially decayed and punky,
or by igniting the dry humus or duff
at the base. The forest soil, when
dried out, ignites readily, because it is
made Of partly decayed twigs and
leaves, and it al hold a smouIdering
fire for a considerable period. 1t is
probable that most Of the lightning-set
fires start in the duff.
In the mountains of southern Cali
fornis, Arizona and New Mexico there
are likely to be each year O number o.
electrical disturbances known as ''dry
thunder storms.n They come at the
end Of the long dry season, and being
unaccompanied by rain are very likely
to start many serious fires. For this
reason the forest service has to keep up
its maximum fire fighting strength in
those regions until the rains are fully
established. In the plans and organ
ization for fire fighting the service
aims particularly to catch these nm
preyenfable lightning-set fires at the
time they start.

Walking and talking.

Some babies begin to crawl about on
their knees at eight months old, others
not until they are ten or twelve months
old or even later.
It Is the same with walking and talk
ing. Children vary greatly, and no
table can be made to give the exact
time at which they should do these
things
If. however. at eighteen months the
child makes no attempt to creep about
a doctor should be consulted, as there
must be serious lack Of vigor.
Some children can walk at q year
Did. some not before they are two.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

+, This question and GLOW to Prevent
Colds is asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really a fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.
/ This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in SCOTS Emulsion
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious SICK
ness. 1t contains natures medicinal
fats, SO skillfully prepared that the
blood profits from every drop, and 1t IS
free from harmful drugs OF alcohol.
