Kelves."
|P "In a battle,'' says Professor
* MeAdie. "a hundred bullets nre
fired for each soldier killed. It is
something like this with lightning
flashes. There are a hundred dis
charges for every bolt of lightn
ing that hits a person. Fortun
ately, too, of every hundred
streaks of lightning about ninety
are from cloud to cloud or spill
over dischar :es of moderate
electrical energy and are mo.-tlv
horizontal, doing no damage
whatever.
"About ten flashes in a
hundred come vertically, that is.
down to earth in a straight line.
Some Mashes come sideways and
■eem to fie crocked, although
t'. re are really no flashes x.;g
zagging like the teeth of a saw
a-! artists generally depict light
•'« ring.
* "The intense straight flashes
are the ones to b t . feared, and it
a silly p. rson who stands out in
the open when such dashes are
seen. He invites trouble, but the
invitation is not always ac
cepted.
■ At this time of the year thun
i Vlcrstorms are frequent and there
Tre a comparatively large number
of fatal accidents. ' 'ne reads in
the press dispatches that four,
men are walking along a New '
.lersey beach during a thunder-1
stern: There is a flash of lighting, j
one man is killed outright, one
severely burned, and the others
stunned.
"Now, there is no protection
for a case like this unless onel
could carry around with him a!
metallic cover well grounded.!
The first rule is then: Do not ■
stay out nn a beach or in a field!
when dark, heavy clouds are j
overhead or coming slowly from ;
the west or south, 'et under!
if possible. If this is not
practicable, lie down. Don't re
ntpin standing.
Second: Do not stand under a
Iree with thick foliage. You
forming a part of the line of'
iarge, since the body, more
:ularly the skin if moist, is
tter conductor than the
:of the tree. More people
illed by lighting in this way I
probably any other,
ird: Don't stnnd in the door
jf a barn or at a window in
mity to a chimney. There |
lrrents of air or winds, and
ng follows to somee\tent
raft or column of rising air, J
tally warm air.
irth: Don't laugh at any j
nervousness during a severe j
ler storm. There is a good!
p to be nervous. Even if one
Ei building that is struck the
ge is. in ninety-eight cases
f a hundred, confined to rip
out plates or knocking off
slates ard tearing off any pro
jecting timbers. Hut there are
times when the storm clouds des
c -nd to earth and amid darkness
the flashes are heavy and num
erous, At such times thi re is
danger. It is dangerous to he near
a ehimnev or a t*ee or a fl-igpu!

Seventh: If you are near a
person who has been struck male
every effort to resueitate him.
Only rarely does lighting Mil
outright. Mostly people are stun
ned, and all that is needed is a
little artificial respiration to re
store them to consciousness. Of
course get a doctor quick.
Eighth: If you are in a trolley
car and a fllash comes in and
burns the fuses with a roar ard
a blinding tUsh, sit still. The
danger is over, and while you may

Ninth: If you have a radio,
better cut it out during a thunder

Taken Out of

Business.
The damage done by hail cannot be repair

profit for the whole entire year when you
take a chance with hail. A LITTLE MAIL
CAN UNDO SIX MONTHS WORK. Insur

against these risks. Hehind a policy of
The Home Insurance Company, of New
York, are vast resources aggregating more
than $75,000,000. 1 hese resources, com
