pending in the Office TO less than its

hopes that the announcement that the

laying the issue of patents Will b
sufncient to insure the speeding up
of the work and the cutting down Of

the announcement is not sufficient the
commissioner will consider the pro-

not been done In the past. There 10
no law against this, although the rules

SOURCE OF FOREST FIRES.

Exhaustive inquiry has established
the fact that lightning ranks next to
railroads as q source Of forest fires.
Forest officers say that the increasing
care with fire in the part Of the rail-
roads and the public generally tends
to make lightning the largest single
contributing cause.
This statement represents change
Of view from that held less than dec
ade ago In this country, when forest
journals gravely argued whether light
ming caused forest fires. though 1t was
known that trees we're the objects
most often struck. Trees are said to
be oftenest struck simply because they
are so numerous. and extending up.
ward they shorten the distance be-
tween the ground and the clouds; fur
Their, their branches In the air and
roots we'll into the earth invite cleo
trical discharges.
While certain trees are said to in
vite lightning, and others to be i'm
mune from stroke, 1t seems to be q
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 talle3t 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
better conductor than dry one.
Lightning sets fires by tgniting the
tree itself, particularly when 1t In
dead. or partly decayed and punky, or
by igniting the dry humus or dun at
its base. The forest soil. when dried
out. ignites readily, because It Is made
Of partly decayed twigs and leaves.
and it can hold q. smoldering dre for
Z considerable period. 1t Is probable
that most Of the lightningset fires
start in the duf. ..@.5 81
In the mountains Of southern Cali.
fornia, Arizona, and New Mexico there
are likely to be each year a number Of
electrical disturbances known al dry
thunder storms" They come at the
end of the long dry season, and being
unaccompanied by rain are very like
ly 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 organization for IRE fight
ing the service aims particularly to
catch these unpreventable lightning
set fires at the time they start.

AhTEDATEs THE GOVERNMENT.

/ It is 1873 years since Benjamin
Franklin became the first postmaster
general in America as representative
Of the colonists, and the postal serv-.
ice OF the United States antedates the
government by just one year. The
first declaration Of independence ever
made by the colonists was In the
establishment of postal service OF
their own to evade the Crown post
masters, who spied upon the mails
This service aided in bringing the col
onists together and raising the voice
Of public opinion. Though Benjamin
Franklin was postmaster general at
$1,000 year, Maryland editor named
Goddard, who printed the Maryland
Journal Post, established a private
service a year before the colonists
took charge.
