LIABILITY OF TREES TO LIGHTNING
Peculiar Effect of Lightning on a Chestnut Tree In Eastern New York.
'By F G I'LUMMISH )
From early times there bus becu a
belief that certain trees more than
others aro likely to bo struck by light
ning. The elder Pliny said: "Light
ning never strikes tho laurel." This
tree was also called bay, and wreaths
of its leaves were worn by ancient
rulers both as a symbol of victory and
as a protection from tho lightning of
the gods. Seneca and Plutarch held a
similar belief, which may be traced
down even to modern times, but tho
theory as now' held Includes a numbor
of trees, different in various countries.
This belief was so firmly established
that such trees as the beech, locust,
holly, olive, walnut, birch, elder,
mistletoe and llve-for-ever, supposed
to bo effective in warding off light
ning, were placed near dwellings.
To this day there aro many who
still Insist that tho beech is never
struck, while in parts of tho United
States tho aspen is considered Im
mune from lightning.
On tho other hand, it was believed
that such trees as tho oaks, particu
larly cork oak, had a very bad repu
tition for attracting lightning, and
this belief prevails even now. Thero
is a proverb:
"Avoid the oak, flee from the spruce,
but seek tho beech."
And also:
"Hewaro the ouk, it draws the
stroke.
Avoid the ash, it courts the (lash.
Creep under tho thorn, 'twill save
from harm."
Natives of South Africa have said
regarding the mopane tree, which is
often struck, "Lightning hates it;" but
they say that tho morala tree is never
touched. Tho Portuguese share thlB
belief.
Thero was once a widespread belief
in Europe that conifers woro almost
immune from lightning, but records
yellow Pine, Arizona, Completely
Shattered by Lightning.
mado there showed thut conifers
rank third in liability to stroke. The
persistent popular belief regarding
immunity of sotno trees and liability
of others have given rise to tho fol
lowing theories regarding trees most
likely to bo struck:
1. Tall trees: Because they reach
high toward the electrically charged
cloud, and therefore lessen tho dis
tance with tho flash must traverse
through tho dielectric (air). Such
treos aro conceived to bo a part of tho
earth, extending upward and inviting
tho stroke.
2. Trees with pointed crowns:
Because they Invite, to their ono apex,
a singlo full-pressuro flash. Trees
with rounded crowns, favor the dif
fusion of the flash into a spray.
3. Trees with pointed leaves: ' Be
cause static electricity jumps moat
easily to and from pointed terminals.
J. Trees with smooth or shiny
leaves: Becauso a smooth surface in
vites flashes, whllo a hairy or woolly
surface, presenting a multitude of fino
points, favors diffusion.
D. Trees with deeply grooved bark:
Because bark deeply grooved longi
tudinally guides tho current to tho
ground, and becauso tho moist sap
wood is close to the surface in tho bot
toms of the Assures.
C. Trees isolated Becauso they
are tho only marks for the flash und
are conductors,
7. Trees on high ground: Becauso
they are nearest to the storm cloud
Btrata.
8. Trees on damp soil: Becauso
the moistuio makes a good contact be
tween the treo and the earth.
9. Trees deeply rooted: Becauso
the long roots give a better grounding
and finish a moro direct path to
deeper and molster eartli strata.
10. Trees with dead branches:
Because they present alluring points.
11. Trees whoso wood has high
electric conductivity; Becauso the
Hash will solect tho path of least re
sistance. 12. Trees whoso tissues are com
posed mostly of longitudinally ar
ranged fibers nnd other elements:
Becauso this arrangement would favor
tho transmission of tho electric cur
rent. 13. Trees rich In starch: Becauso
starches and Biigars aro better con
ductors than oils, rosins and waxes.
But years of careful study and ex
perimenting show that any kind of
tree is likely to bo struck by light
ning. In tomperato climates thunder
storms, with lightning, occur most
commonly during tho summer usually
in tho afternoon. In the United States
they are four or flvo times as frequent
east of the Itocky mountains a vcst
omitting from consideration parts
of Arizona and New Mexico. This is
due, as explained later, to the general
ly mountainous condition of the west.,
Lightning Is most frequent in Florida
and Illinois.
In Cuba severe thunderstorms are
frequent, and trees nro often struck
and killed. Tho pine only is reported
ignited.
Lightning is extremely raro in
Alaska, and no forest flres aro known
to have resulted from It.
It does not follow, that tho trees
most liable to ignition by lightning aro
tho ones moBt responsible for forest
flres. While in general ono species
may bo moro Inflammable than an
other, tho degree of inflammability
varies with tho locality and season.
The treo most often struck and Ignited
in the west is tho westorn yellow pine,
which grows in open, park-like stands,
where the lire hazard i3 small.
A treo may bo set on firo bj light
ning nnd burn for days without tho
flames spreading to other tiees or to
tho ground, and if tho latter he freo
irom litter, as In often tho caso In
western yellow pine forests, the
chances of the flro spreading are
small. It is probablo that the ma
jority of forest flres caused by light
ning striking treos Is due to tho pres
ence of dry duff, humus or litter at
the base of tho tree. Another possi
bility is that some forest flres aro
started by lightning striking tho
ground nnd Igniting the soil cover.
OYSTER SHELLS
FURNISH LIME
New York Experimental Station
Proves That Food Is Quite
Beneficial to Hens.
Sotno years ago a then well known
writer condemned tho use of ojster
Bhell as a food for furnishing lime so
necessary In tho construction of egg
shell. His contention wns that tho
oyster shell did not contribute lime
sufficient for that purpose. Howoer
tho New York agricultural experiment
station has vetoed that by proving
that a pound of oyster Bhell contains
sufficient hint) to manufacture about
seven dozens of eggs.
The proper way to feed oyster shell
is to have a small box of it within
reach so tho fowls may help them
selves at will Mixing it In tho morn
ing mash is risky, as thero Is a like
lihood that tho hens will consumo
moro than Is required, Hnd In conse
quence tho shells of tho eggs would
become too hard. The hens know best
when their system demands moro
lime. It Js a very raro caso when n
hen gets too much If constantly with
in reach,
Dr. Hartman Says :
Write to Pcruna Testimonials If You
Want to Know tho Truth.
Tho following letter was received
oy Dr. Hnrtman through his regular
correspondence:
"I notlco tho testimonial of Mrs.
Alice Bogle, which you glvo in your
last nrticlo. If I should wrlto her do
you Biipposo sho would givo mo fur
ther particulars? 1 have hoard it said
many times that such testimonials aro
fakes; that they aro oither absolutely
fictitious or else tho people have been
hired to wrlto them. I hnvo been In
clined to wrlto you a great many
times hut theso stories about patent
medicine ndvortiRomonts have dis
couraged mo from doing so. I am
afflicted with catarrh and should llko
very much to find a romedy such as
your articlo describes."
To tho nbovo lottor Dr. Hartman
mndo the following roply:
My dear Madam: I do not wonder
that you aro confused and havo lost
all faith in advertised remedies.
Thero has boon so much said against
them, so much controversy concern
ing thorn, I am not surprised that
some peoplo havo lost confldonco in
them.
I wIbIi you would wrlto Mrs. Bogle,
as ono woman to another. I wish you
would nBk her whether sho has boon
hired to write such a testimonial,
whether her testimonial represents
tho truth.
I hopo you will romombor that sho
Is a housewlfo, llko yourself, that sho
has somothlng to do besides write
letters, thnt sho is a woman of mod
erato means and cannot afford to
writo theso lottors mid pay her own
postage. I hopo you will oncloso
stamp so sho can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boglo is a verv
estimable lady and no doubt you wJU
both profit by being acquainted wltn
each other.
Should you concludo to try Poruna
for your catarrh I would bo very glad
to hear of tho result. I can nssuro you
that no uso will bo mado of your lot
tor, except by your written consent,
Mrs. Boglo very kindly consented to
havo mo uso her letter, which is my
reason for doing so, and you will be
treated exactly as sho has been.
