any kind of tree will be struck, and
the most numerous tree species in any
locality is the one uost likely to suf.
fer.
Other things being equal lightning
seeks the tallest tree, or an isolated
tree, or one on high ground. A deep.
rooted tree is better conductor than
n shallow-rooted one, and tree full
of sap, or wet with rain, is of course
a better conductor than q dry one.
Lightning sets fires by igniting the
tree itself, particularly when it is
dead, or partly decayed and puuky, or
by igniting the dry humus or duff at
its base. The forest soil, when dried
out, ignites readily, because il is made
OF partly decayed twigs and leaves.
and it can hold smouldering fire for
considerable period. 1t is probable
that most of the hghtning-set fires
start in the duff.
In the moutains of southern Cali.
fornia, Arizona, and New Mexico there
are likely to be each year number of
electrical disturbances known as "dry
thunder storms" They come at the
end Of the long dry season, and being
unaceompanied 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
organization for fire fighting the ser.
vice aims particularly 20 catch these
unpreventable hghtning-set fires at the
time they start.

Exhaustive inquiry has established

roads and the public generally tends to
make lightning the largest single con
tributing cause.
This statement represents change
OF view from that held less than n
decade ago in this country, when for
est journals gravely argued whether
lightning caused fovsst fires, though it
was known that trees were the objects
most often struck. Trees are said to
be oftenest 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 mir and roots well into
the earth invite elestrieal discharges.
While certain trees are said to invite
lightning, and others TO be immune
from stroke IL seems to be fact that
