every million in the United States
several facts about the disasters
will fit in at present.
ACCORDING to the statistical bull
1etin of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, the prob
ability of being fatally injured by
lightning is far greater in rural
than urban areas.
About nine out Of 10 deaths from
this cause occur in places with
$500 or less, the statistics show.
Relatively Safe
City jewellers are relatively safe
mostly because the steel structur-
es of the tall buildings act as
lightning rods and conduct the
charge to the ground harmlessly.
Another reason is because per
sons in urban areas when caught
in a storm, usually do not have
far to go to reach a place Of
shelter, while rural jewellers are
likely to be some distance from
refuge.
If you are a male your chances
Of dying from lightning is five
times that Of females.
A great number Of the lives lost
by bolts could be saved If the
persons would think before they
act. One third Of the victims lost
their lives when they sought shell.
ter under a tree, and by doing
SO they increased their danger of
being struck.
Trees, because of their height,
are more likely to be struck.
Homes, provided with lightning
rods. afford safety. Metal bodies
of cars protect the occupants, even
if the the vehicle is struck by
Lightning.
Dangerous Practice
The practice of seeking refuge
in small sheds is dangerous. These
structures are a more likely target
than are individuals. There are in
stances of men being struck in
small barns, where they were
waiting for the storm to subside.
Records also show that one per-
son was killed while seeking shell
ter in a small ticket booth at the
baseball field.
Persons, in small boats, it
should be realized are conspicuous
targets, while swimmers arc in
danger Of being e~lectrocuted by q
charge carried by the water from
a bolt striking at some distance.
Furthermore, If you live in
South Carolina, your chances Of
getting struck are slightly more
tnan in North Carolina or Georgia.
What causes this charge Of cleo
tricity to hurtle from the skies,
killing and burning thousands OF
dollars worth Of property every
year?
It is a result, according to
weather bureau publications, Of
the splitting UP Of large raindrops
ard the development Of strong
charges of static electricity in rap
idly ascending air currents.
Few Go Earthward
As the charges grow to a size,
a discharge, in the form of a
Ii lightning flash, takes place. More
commonly the flash is from one
part of a cloud to another. Not
more than one per cent Of the
lightning bolts 60 to the earth. j..
AS for thunder, lightning's awe
inspiring brother, It is due wholly
to an explosive type Of expansion
consequent upon an extremely sud-
den and great rise In temperature
caused by the lightning flash.
So the next time an electrical
storm comes UP tie yourself to
a tall building or to your automo.

be lessened to almost nothing.

Development of a new kind of
atomic furnace, one of the most
significant steps to date in re-
search leading to industrial use
of atomic power, was announced
today by the Atomic Energy
Commission.
1t is essentially a small atom
bomb, the explosion" of which can
be controlled and expended over an
indefinite period, instead of occur
ring in one great flash of energy in
a small fraction of a second. 1t is
the result of more than two years
OF secret development at the COM
missions laboratory at Los Alamos,
N. Mex, according to DR.. Norris E.
Bradbury, laboratory director.
The new pile" as an atomic
furnace is called, differs in two
fundamentals from those operated
by the Government at Oak Ridge,
Tenn, and Hanford, Wash. Most
significant is the fact that it uses
the man-made element, plutonium,
instead of ordinary uranium, as a
