L Iiohtninc in Rural Districts.

Nine-tenths of the annual mortality
from lightning occurs in the rural dis
tricts (including under this head all
towns and villages of $500 inhabl'
tants or less). Lightning is one OF
the principal causes Of fires in the
rural districts, the loss from which
might be largely lessened by putting
rods on all barns and isolated build
ings.
In respect of the number of deaths
caused by lightning, Nevada comes
first, followed (in order as given) by
North Dakota, South Dakota, Colo
rado, Montana and Utah. These
states may be said to comprise our
principal thunderstorm belt. The few
est deaths and injuries from lightning
occur in the state Of Washington,
where storms of the kind are very in.
