Ut is we'll known that wood Is a poor
conductor Of electricity. Whilst trees
to some extent attract the electrical
fluid it does not penetrate the body Of
the tree itself; rather does the force Of
the current pass down the exterior.
Whether, therefore, a tree be wet or
dry, to stand near its trunk or under
its branches is almost like putting
oneself in the way of an electrical dis
charge. Many deaths have occurred
owing to the ignorance or carelessness
of persons scuttling under the trees
for shelter. If relative safety may be
instanced In degrees such persons are
far safer In the open than beneath the

serious risk than getting soaked. 1t
