FOREST FIR Els
By Garrett P. Seryiss

humidity means dry duff and
high humidity moist duff. So,
they have come to recognize what
is called 'forest-f fire We Ether," dur
ing which the duff becomes dry
and inflammable.
But an even greater source of
danger In forest fire weather than
careless campers, picnickers, and
smokers, is lightning. A single
thunderstorm may start many
fires a once in large forest.
Another odd term appears in
connection with e-fighting in
the forests-"dry lightning" A
great number of the Western fires
this year were ascrlbed to dry
lightning, which means lightning
that occurs without, or almoat
without rain. How this can hap
pen has been explained by c. f.
Talman, of the Weather Bureau.
In an ordinary ''wet thunder
storm" the rain forms at CON-
paratively low level, while the air
between the clouds and the ground
is sufficiently humid to prevent
any great evaporation of the rain
before it reaches the earth. But
when the lower air is relatively
very dry while the rain forms
high UP, the raindrops are evap-
Grated in. the zone OF dry air be-
fore reaching the ground. So it
may roar and thunder aloft and
lightning may strike down to the
earth, though no rain comes along
: with it. But just beneath the
clouds, says DIR. Talman, all thun-
derstorms are equally wet.
