LIGHTNING STARTS FIRES
IN MANY INSTANCES

The possibility that a discharge of
lightning may start a fire is recog-
nized in every insurance policy, yet
we were scarcely prepared to hear
from our forest authorities that more
than half the forest fires are caused
by this agency. In one State alone,
last year, 700 fires were set in a brief
period by lightning, during dry
SPELL With other sources preventive
measures may be of use, but when the
fire drops from Heaven we must rely
on prompt and effective work in put
ting it out. The Chicago Hardwood
Record says:
Philosophers, socalled, formerly
spent much time in theOriZing how
mankind procured the first fire. To
those lazy thinkers it seemed a great
mystery; but if they had spent half
as much time in observation as they
wasted in meditation, they might
have found something out. Lucretius
thought man first obtained fire from
hot ores but neglected to explain
what heated the ores. Others were
of the opinion that trees rubbing to-
gether started the first fire; others
traced the origin to rolling stones;
still others to sparks from the horses
feet. Not one suggestion of lightning
anywhere in the literature of ancient
times, unless the lines of an old
Greek poet may be SO interpreted
when he wrote: With sacreligious
hands Promethus stole celestial fire
and bore it down from Heaven
Henry S. Graves, chief of the
United States Forest Service, has
been conducting some Investigations
that would have caused Lucretius,
Pindar, Hestod, and the other dream
ers to sit up and take notice. He has
collected statistics of forest fires in
1913, and shows that more were set
this year by lightning than were
caused by any other agency, not even
excepting locomotives and all other
steam engines. That finding is re-
markable. Nearly every woOdSman
can recall an instance where tree
was fired by lightning; but few have
supposed that no other agency equals
lightning in the number of fires set

JOlNTED STICKS USED
IN THREADING CONDUITS

The operation of threading up an
underground electrical conduit has
ways been rather tedious one.
Threading is working the small wires
through the holes meant to contain
them. The general scheme followed
is that of making use of series of
jointed sticks, which are secured to-
gether and pushed through the con
duit. The latest way of doing this is
by pneumatic device, which does in
a few seconds the work that formerly
required hours. In fact, it is said to
be possible under conditions which
were not before possible in any time
Crooks and turns in cOnduits are no
obstacle to threading by the new
method. A line is introduced into
the pipe, and on it are secured two or
more travellers, which fit the interior
of the pipe loosely. A hand pump
and an air tank complete the outfit.
From the tank a flexible hose cOnnec-
tion is made to the conduit, and when
theair is turned on the travellers are
driven through the conduit at a rapid
rate. The travellers work their way
along without regard to corners or
offset at the rate of a hundred feet
in ten seconds.

FIRE BLIGHT OR PEAR BLIGHT
A SERIOUS ORCHARD DISEASE

Fire blight is one of the most Sc
rious of all the diseases attacking the
pear and the apple. Nearly every
pear and apple orchard at the present
time shows indications of the pres
ence of this disease. The leaves are
turning brown, especially at the end
of the new growth, and they stand
out in sharp contrast to the surround
ing green foliage. When first noticed
only a tip of a branch appears to be
infested, but if left undisturbed soon
the whole limb and even the trunk OF
the tree will become infested.
Blight is caused by a minute germ
or organism that lives curing the
dormant season in cankers, resulting
from infection the previous season.
In order to properly control this dis
ease it is necessary that the orchard
list be able to recognize these hold
over cankers, because if every hold
over canker could be disposed OF be-
fore the sap starts to flow in the
spring the disease could be eradi-
Gated.
The presence of the canker is
usually indicated by the appearance
OF the bark Under ordinary condi-
tions there is a sharp line of demarc-
alton separating the dead tissue from
the healthy. In many Instances the
bark is broken due to the contract
ing of the surrounding tissues. This
is especially noticeable around fruit
spurs and water sprouts on the larg-
er limbs where the cankerS are more
apt to be found.
AS soon as the sap starts to flow in
the spring a syrupy eXudate contain
ing the germs is given off from the
hold-over cankers. This exudate
serves to attract bees and other in
sects and later on they fly to nearby
blossoms and broken bark tissues,
spreading the disease as they travel.
The germs multiply very rapidly and
in a short time the leaves surround
ing the blossoms and twigs begin to
die Gradually it works down to the
larger limbs, often spreading at the
rate of a foot day.
The disease appears to spread more
rapidly on pears and ounces than on
annlns. On the ample it is often term
ed "twig blight" because usually only
.ne younger wigs seem to be affected
and not the larger branches.
Since the trouble is under the bark
it becomes apparent at once that nc
external application in the form OF
spray can be applied. The most log
ical thing to do is to cut out the cank-
ers where it winters over. The or
chard should be inspected carefully
several times and all suspicious areas
of any kind should be cut out in order
to be safe. Pruning during the sum
mer is also good plan, but it is not
as practical as winter pruning. If q
large limb is removed the cut should
be made several inches below the
dead area in order to avoid any
chance of further infection. For the
ends of branches the lOng-handleC
pruning shears are very effective
| Always burn the diseased limbs as
soon as they are cut. The tree:
should be gone over once week a
least, and in many cases more Otter
in order to dispose of the first indi
cations of trouble.

OWNERS.
WIN DAMAGE SUIT

Because the Inflated Titanic struck
an iceberg rather than another Brit
ish ship the United States Supreme
Court held that the owner, the Ocean
lc Steam Navigation Company, was
entitled to have it's liability for loss
OF life and property in suits brought
in American courts limited in accord
ance with American maritime law
This means that those who sue in
American courts will get virtually
nothing, the law limiting liabilities
to salvage from the wreck and the
passenger and freight money collect
ed for the voyage-abOut $4,000 in
all. The total claims against the
company have reached $13,000,0O0.
The court held that where a lone
ship is wrecked the law of the coun-
try in which the suit is brought gov
ems the limitation of liability. In
the briefs in the case, it was stated
that under British law, the liability
of the owner of the Titanic will be
about 100000 if it is found that the
wreck occurred without the fault or
knowledge of the owner and unlimit-
ed if it occurred with it's fault or
knowledge. The presence of j.
Bruce Imray, managing director, on
the Titanic at the time of the wreck,
complexities this question.

The children took readily to the

truths were taught them. Some
