Fallacies About Lightning.

|neighborhood because of its height
merely.
For like reason the Eiffel Tow
er in Paris has often been struck by
lightning. The lofty shaft erected in
honor of the Father of his Country,
in Washington, is frequent target
for thunderbolts, and has to be pro-
tected against them by an elaborate
system of lightning rods.
A high mountain top is sure to be
struck frequently by lightning. But
not so if its elevation be great enough
to uplift it beyond the ordinary levels
of thunderclouds. In that case it will
have a lightning-struck zone lower
down, around its sides.
Often lightning bolt discharged
into quartz rock or quartz sand melts
the silica and forms curious little
pipe of glass, perhaps an inch in dia!-
meter and some inches in length. Such
pipes, called "fulgurites,' are some
times found in large numbers on
mountain tops.

EVER BEARING ORANGE
TREE is UNDER GUARD
HAS BEEN BOUGHT BY A SYN
DICATE OF FLORIDA'S LARG-
EST CITRUS GROWERS.

TAMPA, Fla-An everbearing or
ange tree, which citrus fruit growers
believe is destined to revolutionize the
orange industry of the state if not OF
the entire country, has been discovered
by horticulturists in small grove at
Avon Park, near here, and to protect
the specimen its purchasers have plac-
ed around it heavy wire fence TWEEN
ty feet in height and stationed guards
day and night.
Several of south Florida'S largest
citrus growers have organized a syn
dictate, purchased the tree, leased the
ground upon which it stands and al
ready are taking steps to develop its
possibilities by propagating it through
budwood, with the expectation Of hav-
ing 100000 trees ready for setting out
in groves by 1923.
Apparently authentic records show
that for eight years the tree has
b1oomed and borne fruit continuously
and that at no time during that period
has it failed to have blossoms and fruit
at all stages of maturity. In outward
appearance the fruit is a Valencia ex-
cept that it is slightly more oblong
than that variety. The meat in texture
and flavor is that of perfect Valencia,
the variety that brings the top price
in the markets.
The everbearing Florida lemon has
been common for many years, but cit

before have known of an everbear1ng

1t is an old saying that most prov
cribs are only half-truths. Some are
wholly contrary to fact.
For instance, there is an ancient saw
to the effect that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place" This
is absolutely untrue.
The United States forest service,
which breads lightning as a frequent
cause of forest fires, AYERS that light
ming has zones of frequency" where
in it is likely to strike whenever there
is an electrical storm. 1t suggests that
such zones might be mapped with a
view to special precautions.
These zones have reference to top
ography, especially in mountainous re-
gions. A hill is much more likely to
be struck by lightning than any area
of lowland because it is nearer to the
clouds.
An isolated tree does not attract
lightning, as is commonly supposed
If it be very tall lightning is more apt
to strike it than to hit objects in its

FARMERS HEAD THE

LAWYERS COME A CLOSE SEC

LEGISLATURE.

Interesting facts concerning the per-
sonnet of the Georgia Legislature,
which opens tomorrow for its sixty
day session, show that the law making
body will include a variety of talents
and vocations. Farmers, for instance,
head the list in the house, and there
are 40; lawyers come close second
with 48. There are % merchants, two
physicians, two editors, ten bankers,
five teachers, two preachers and sever
al mechanics and enigeneers. There
are also sixteen public officials, includ-
ing one or two county sheritfs.
Thirty-two Unmarried.
There are thirty-two members el1gl-
bic to matrimony. Twenty-Five of these
are in the house and seven in the SEN
ate. Five are widowers and the rest
are bachelors. There are ISL married
men in the house and the senate boasts
of forty members who have assumed
the responsibility of taking care OF
wives.
There are III Masonic members and
sixteen Shriners. There are nineteen
E1ks.

When questioned as to their favor

was favored by big majority, while
golf came in with meager few fol-

SEEKING TO FIND WHERE
CONSUMERS MONEY GOES
Commission Investigating "Split" Be

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Distribu-
ton of the consumers cash outlay for
food and other necessaries between
the farmer, producer, railroads, mid

was learned today.
A report will be forwarded to Pres
ident Harding soon.
Farmers produce each year about
SIS, O00 100000 worth of stock, meat
bearing animals, food, grain, wool,
cotton and other products, according
to the agricultural department.
The public, however, pays approx
mately three times this amount for
farm products in the shape of food
and clothing. The railroads receive
about $4,OOO,O00,O0O year for hauling

CRAIG WINS FIGHT
ON EDUCATION FUND
Court of Appeals Sustains His
Point That Appropriation
Cannot Be Diverted.

The Court of Appeals sustained yes
terday the contention OF Comptroller
Charles l.. Craig that appropriations
made for the use of the Board of Educa-
tion can be used only for the purposes
authorized and cannot he boarded or
diverted to other channels.
The decision was upon mandanus
suit brought last year TO compel him
to pay appropriations authorised by the
Board OF Estimate out OF unexpended
balances OF the Board of Education, and
gave the Comptroller a victory over
Mayor Hyian, F.. II. LaGuardia. Presi-
dent of the Board OF Aldermen: Cor
poration Counsel John P. O'Brien. the
Board of Estimate, the Board of Educa-
tion and the State Commissioner OF
Education.
Comptroller Craig contended that the
money was appropriated to meet $2.-
100000 in claims honestly owing to
hundreds of merchants, school teachers
and others, although. he said, the Board
of Education had incurred the indebted
ness without authority and illegally. The
Comptroller expects now to undertake to
pay those claims.
The fact that the Corporation Counsel
chose to represent the Mayor and the
Board Of Education compelled the Comp
troller to make his own fight, with the
result that the court awarded costs to
him. He announced that he cannot re-
ceive the money for himself but will
turn it into the city treasury.

Officials who are responsible for
State and municipal finances and pay

closely In anticipation of loans ag-
gregating upward Of s150,Oo0,oo0 which
must be made within the next few
months.
Word was passed around yesterday
In Wall Street that New York city Of
ficials were in the market already for
a $100,00o,000 long term loan which
was contemplated for some time later
in the month. Comptroller Craig and
other officials denied this report and
said there was nothing definite about
their plans; that they probably would
not undertake to sell any large amount
OF municipal bonds Of the long term
variety under existing conditions.
The State probably will be first to
put out q loan, as the needs of the
Albany government for ready money
are moro urgent than are New York's.
The State needs $4,000. 900 immediate

several millions for the Palisade Park
and other improvements.
Tt Is understood that State Comp
troller Wendell will begin by offering
either 5000. 900 or $4,000. 900 of short
term bonds with interest at 5 per cent.
Bond experts are watching the State OPP

will 20 after the balance of the money
needed, issuing short term notes, as fast
as possible.
City officials believe that there is an
attempt being made on the part of cer-
tain bonding interests to persuade the
city to put out a big forty year loan.
There Is little doubt that the city would
have to pay at least 5 II per cent. on
such a loan to dispose Of it now. At
that rate 1t probably would mean net
profit to a syndicate, which might sue
coed in handling the loan, of close to
sS, 900. 900. There was about $50. 1000, 900
available yesterday in the city treasury.
The city will have to borrow upward
of 500, 900, 900 before the taxes are col
lected in November. About $125, 700, 600
will drop into the city treasury in taxes
before the end of May, the time for
semi-annual payments. That will take
care OF all pressing outstanding obliga-
tions for the present, according to Off
cials.
The plan of the city's Finance Depart
ment is understood to be to issue a
series of small. short term loans during
the summer and early autumn until the
November taxes come in. If there
should be a decided Improvement in the
money market. so that long term loan
could be negotiated with advantages. it
might be made, but probably not before
August at the earliest. These offerings
probably will be in s1o,0oo,00o allot-
mnts.

Reapportionment of the Aidermanic
districts in New York city is provided
for in the Jesse bin, which was signed
to-day by Coy. Miller. The number OF
the districts is reduced from sixty-seven
to sixty-five, and their boundaries are

to the Assembly districts, Manhattan
losing three Aldermen and Queens gam
ing one. The bill was passed on the last
day of the Legislative session over Mayor
Hylan's veto and the Democrats charged
that 1t was q gerrymander to increase
the Republican representation in the
board.
Representatives of the Hylan admin
istration contended that the bill was
not properly before the Governor on the
ground that 1t was not returned to Al
bany by the Mayor until after the time
set for the final adjournment OF the
Legislature. The Governor held that the
fifteen days in which the Mayor had to
act on the bill expired before the Legis-
lature adjourned and that the Legisla-
ture was empowered to pass 1t over his
veto before tho biil got back 20 Albany.
The Governor also signed the bill ex-
empting from the cne-day-of-rest-in-
