Queer Data BY U. S. F. S.

albuquerque, May 16.-The district fores
ter at Albuquerque has just compiled some
cry curious figures showing the erratie be-
havior of lightning in starting forest fires.
Yearly records going back as far as 1908
show that out of every 100 fires in the ma
ticnal forests of Arizona and New Mexico,
20 originate from lightning. This general
sercentage of lightning fires is we'll known
to foresters, says District Forester Reding-
ton, but it is surprising how widely the per
eentage varies with different localities. In
northern and central Arizona, for instance,
the proportion of lightning fires runs up to
10 per cent, while in the Manzano forest,
rear Albuquerque, only 3 per cent of the
fires are started by lightning. There is no
readily apparent rhyme or reason in its be-
havior. In general, those forests bearing
big timber and lots of grass seem to suffer
worst, but a notable exception occurs in
southern Arizona, where the proportion runs
from 40 to so per cent.in spite of the timber
averaging smaller and the grass somewhat
sparser than elsewhere.
Forest officers state that the accumulation
of figures Of this kind is gradually adding
very materially to the efficiency of their fire
prevention system 1T enables them to state
the fire hazard on each forest in accurate
figures instead Of, in words, and to calculate
the risks automatically, Just as an insur-
company does. This in turn makes pos.
sibie a really intelligent and economical dis
tribution of men and funds for fire proven.

Is the Panama Canal a
Failureo
(Thomas IA Logan IN L~esIie,s.l

tThomas F.. Logan In Leslie's,)
The slides in the Panama canal nave caused
deep concern as to the practicability Of the
whole operation. Owing to the fact that the
law granting American coastwise ships free
entry to the canal was repealed, American
people are not receiving any advantage over
foreign nations in the use of the canal which
they built. The National Academy Of
Sciences, at the request of President Wilson.
not long ago appointed a special committee
to make a study and report on the canal
slides. The committee was composed of
thirteen members, nine of whom actually
visited the canal and aided in the prepare.
tion of the report. These nine were C. R.
Van Hise, chairman; II. l.. Abbott, j.. G.
BranneR, Whitman Cross, r. G. Carpenter,
A. P. Davis, J. R, Freeman, ]. +. Hayford
and H. 4. Reid. They concluded that the
canal Will serve the great purpose for which
1t was constructed, and that traffic will not
be repeatedly interrupted during long Pc
riods for years TO come. The committee re.
ported that the chief remedy to retard the
movement OF the slides now in motion and
to prevent them from extending their areas.
would be TO reduce the amount OF water
which goes underground. The committee
declares that, while the composition of the
rocks, their structural weakness, n earth
quakes are beyond the control OF man, a
partial control of rain water and the relief
Of pressure by unloading certain areas are
feasible. Methods we're suggested by which

WALTZ OF THE OSTRICH

The so-called waltzing of the ostrich con
sists of a rapid whfrling movement ONE
times in one direction, sometimes in anoth-
err, with the wings spread out and alternate
.ly elevated and depressed. "A fascinating
sight is presented by a large flock of the 81
gantic birds showing their good spirits by
this strenuous dancing.
First one bird will dart forward and begin
tile circular movement; another will follow,
and then another and another, until the en-
tire flock is careening round in the mad
whiri. Some will continue until they drop
exhausted, or, apparently becoming giddy,
stumble and fall.
The dance is seen at its best only when !
considerable number of birds are together.
Although it is often performed by a few
only, 1t is never SO intense or prolonged as
when the flock is large.
Chicks only a month or two old engage
in the amusement, although they are rather
clumsy and sometimes stumble, particularly
when they are reversing. AS they grow
older they learn to make several complete
turns with great facility, although even adult
birds sometimes stumble and break their
legs in falling.
This dance is no donbt instructive. Ostrich
chicks begin the whirl even when reared
from other ostriches. without the
chance to see the performance.
