Lightning in the Woods

Exhaustive Inquiry has established the fact that lightning ranks next to railroads as source of forest fires. says a bulle- tin from the forestry service. Forest off eers say that the increasing care with
 fire on the part of the railroads and the public generally tends to make lightning
 the Washington Star.
 This statement represents a change
 of view from that held less than a decade
 ago in this country, when forest journals
 gravely argued whether lightning caused
 forest fires. though it was known that
 trees were the objects most often struck.
 Trees are said to be oftener struck sim
 ply because they are so numerous, and
 extending upward they shorten the dis
 tance between the ground and the clouds; further. their branches in the air and roots we'll in the earth invite electrical discharges.
 While certain trees- are Said to invite lightning and others to be immune 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 suffer
 other things being equal, lightning seeks the talest tree, or an isolated tree or one on high ground. deep-rooted tree is a better conductor than a shallow rooted one. and a tree full of sap, or wet with rain is, of course, better than 2 dry one.
 Lightning sets fire by igniting the tre' itself. particularly when 1t is dead, o' partly decayed and punSy, or by fgnitins inc dry humus or duff at it's base.

 The picture used among the dreamers Is one of little boy of foreign hirtf whose mother left him to a hopeless fate and was taken in to the Children's Aio Society. and from there was adopted In real home. He has recently visited the city, and his playmates of the juvenile court. and tells them of his happiness and the joy of a good mother and father
 Some little boys really travel along life's rugged paths. and it is pleasant to think in after years their destiny may be SC changed that they. can recall it as only a dream. and can erase the shadow of sad ness and begin new life with another world. It is a privilege to start fresh to make each day a new beginning, and to have a new lesson.

 In the mountains of southern Caiifor- mia. Arizona and New Mexico there are
 likely to be each year a number of elee-
 trical disturbances known as dry thun- derstorms." They come at the end of the long dry season. and being unaccompan-

English Davis Cup Team

England has sent Davis lawn tennis cup team to the United States more from a sense of duty than from any hope, how ever forlorn, of beating Australia for the privilege of challeng Uncle Sam. Unless Brookes and Widing lose their playing arms, Parke. Navrogordato. Lave and KiKngscote hardly have chance of talk ing a single set from the brilliant play CTS from down under
 In fact, J. c, Parke is the only class player in the team. He was beaten by Me- Loughln last year in the English cham pionships, but managed to turn the tables on the carrot-headed Californian in the Davis cup matches. The lrishman' s chances of repeating his victory over the American, should they ever meet again, are about one in five. Parke can play a super game, but so seldom does he do go that he cannot be reckoned among the best of the present day players. Just at present he is, apparently, out Of form, but may find his game before his appear ances against Wilding and Brookes
 Navrogordo is a small man with game obviously modelled on that of Roper Bar rett, master of strategy, who, although now veteran long past his prime, with C. F. Dixon. almost succeeded in beating Hackett and Mclaughlin in the doubles of the Davis cup matches last year. Nav TO gordato is very quick to the net in his service, put his service is very soft and lacks both subtlety and kick. Against some players of reputation he is effective, but Brookes and Wilding carry too many guns for him.
 kingscote is a promising player and that Is all that can be said for him. Some years ago he was looked upon as a pos sible champion of the future because of the form he showed. He follows the trade of war and went out to India, thus break ing into the game when 1t showed most promise. The many months he spent there do not seem to have improved his game as he has not lived up to all the great things that were predicted of him when 1t was known that he was coming back to England for holiday.

 A. H. Lowe I should call the most in. teresting of the three Britishers, with the exception of Parke. Lowe has already been seen on your side, as he was a mem- Der of the 1911 team which comprised also Parke and Beamish. Lowe Is still young and may develop into man hard to beat. He is not, however, an attack ing player In any sense of the word and his game Is not pretty to watch for that reason. He depends upon accurate driv- ing from the base line. looking to the op- pOnent to make a mistake or come up to the net to be passed either across court or down the side line. He has an older brother. Gordon Lowe. who Is an even better player. and it Is difficult to under stand why the English selection commit tee chose the younger of the two.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Articles were
signed last night for boxing match be
tween Willie Richie and Freddie Welsh

London July 4. Richie will get $1,000
or so per cent of the receipts, as he shall

He will also receive $4,000 for the mo-
tion-picture rights and a share of the re-
ceipts from advertising, which, according
to the promoters. will bring his side up
to nearly $4,000
The articles were signed by Bob Yer
non. representing the English club;
Harry Pollok. manager of Freddie
Welsh, who has already sailed for the
other side. and Willie Richie for him
self Before the articles were signed
Ritchia's manager deposited $500 with
Billy Gibson to guarantee his appear
ance In the ring.
All the details for the match had not
been agreed to until late in the after
noon after an extended conference at
the Hotel Astor. Richie was a little bit
backward about desiring to deposit his
forfeit and wanted to have that part of
the agreement omitted. He said if he
signed the articles he would show UP and
! that no forfeit was necessary. Mr.. Vernon,
representing the club, refused to go on
with the matter Unless he deposited the
forfeit.
