' Certain Kinds of Trees Much Mare X.ikely To Bo Injured Than Others An :, Observer's NoteiSoms Cu J . v, . Chicago Times I All who have been in a forest during a inunaer siorm nave witnessea tne pranu of lightning among the trees. An English engineer who spent several years in thin country inus writes on the sub ect: Dur ing surveys" in the forests of the United t tates, when I . necessarily live 1 under canvas, I often had the opportunity of witnessing the elects of lightning on treej, and my experiences lead me. to be lieve that trees are-: only destroyed by iignmiog wneu iney have been previously wewa oy me rain. A sojourner in the woods, whether he is taken in pursuit of irame or with the ooje;ior prospecting-for timber, miner als, and land, is always careful to erect his -tent under a short thick tree iu order to escape the danger of lishtniatr or of trees lauing and hnnsms- down others in their way on him: aid it was often whi o thus situated. 1 noticed after stormy nights when lightning i and"- thunder were accompanied by rain that many treei had fallen. . The report of the snapping of the trunks would remind one of that of the firing of a cannon, and when lightning and thunder were not ac- com. anted by rain . (in the immediate locality of our camp at atiy rate) no trees Y,n,i K,. ,.l,i f - :f r . i. observations that the lightning always strikes the tallest trees, : whatever their species may be, for the ta'ler white pines and poplars were most often seen de stroyed and the shorter maples, linden, birch trees, etc., rarely so; also that the sap between the wood and the bark of the tree does not increaso the chance of its destruction. .. - - AS OB3EBVER'S NOTES. A eentleman connected with the new botanical gardens suggests that the mete orological office.? in different countries collect reliable data embodying the ob servations of dili'ereat persons as to the particular circumstances fittendinz thun der storms during which more or less in jury has been done trees. He states as the resuit of his own observation that cer tain kinds of tress are much more likelv to be injured b lightning than others, which goes to show that they are very poor conductors of electricity. The con- ditioa of the tree in regard to are and vigor has also, in his opinion,, much to do in making it a good or bad conductor. In a communication to a London paper he says: l he comparative couductibility of diiferent trees is not wholly, in my opin ion, a question . of species. The same species at di jerent stages of growth, and growing under different circumstances, will exhibit widely diiferent degrees of conductibility. Joubties3 the hardness of the wood and the character of. the grain, and also the character of the ramification, have much to do with that resistance to the electric fluid which results in damage to limbs or trunk. Hence, probably, why the oak, which is remarkable for the general close ness and hardness of its grain, and the ruggedness and contortion of its ramifica tion, so frequently suffers, while soft- wooded trees, like the nonlars. escarje. But younger oaks under the same circum stances might escape, while older and harder and drier trees would be broken by the electric fluid. A mistake com monly made is to speak of 'certain trees being "struck" by lightning, the word 'struck" being only applied to those trees that are lniured by lightning. Thousands of trees are struck during every thunder storm mat tates place over woody coun try; but, being struck noiselessly and without resulting injury; they are not noticed. It is doubtless . the superior or inferior conductive power of a tree which subjects it to, or exempts it from, harm from lightning; but it is the greater or less moisture of. the branches aacfe trunk which regulates the conductive power. EXEMPTION ASt LIABILITY. - The form of a tree, too, has much to do with its exemption from hurtful Strokes. The Lombardy poplar is about the best form, because its branches, pointed up ward, are like so many lightning con ductors. The oak is about the worst form, because its branches and limb3 are nearly e I wavs (in those trees, which arc mostly damaged) placed across the course of the electric fluid. The Lombardy pop'ar .also is of much moister and softer sub stance than the oak, aud consequently lives freer passage to the electricity. Tb best Conductors of electricity are not those that are-"struck" by a discharge from a cloud, but those which, silently convey it to the earth without being shattered or injured in any way. That many trees do this seems certain. In all probability trees whose leaves present many sharp points are the best conductors of electricity. l!ach point attracts elec tricity, and is the means of directing it through the branch and trunk to the cdi-th. The amount conveyed by each is so small that no part of the tree sustains any damage.. Leaves like -those of the holly tree are admirably formed . for at tracting electricity. The points on the foliage of fir are of the desired shape to attract electricity, but the resin in the fir tree serves to make it a poor conductor. In a flat and nearly kvel country like our western " prairies' lightning does not always "strike" the highest objects. It sometimes enters the side of a building instead of discharging itself on the chim ney, the highest place "on the roof, or ether projecting point. The presence of suitable trees next a house, or at some distance '. from it In the direction toward the course of the-prsvailing thunder clouds, would serve to protect the dwell ing'. Trees that are better conductors than the materials of whii-.h buildings are composed would protect them as well as mstal rods. , : t v ; ; . . t T ' The Divining i:' ' ' ' The divining rod is still belie ed hi and used in some parts of England.
