FEAR OF LIGHTNING. If the Bronx children who were struck by ghtning Monday had read ‘‘Rollo,” as good little children used te do, they would have known how dangerous it is to take refuge under a tree during a thunderstorm. In their papa’s school reader there used to be @ eraphle} icy turned to hurry away. picture of a fiery bolt descending on a tree. How real 8 e this danger is is indicated by the fact that, while only 563 persons wore killed by lightning in this country in 1899, live stock to the number of 4,251 wero killed in the felis during a like period of time. Was not this mor- tality of tho cattle largely due to thelr habit of huddling for shelter under a tree? For most city dwellers the danger of lightning stroke 4s very remote, And this in spite of the wide use of structural steel and the infinity of wires. It is far leas dmminent then that of being killed in the street. The occupant of a top-story offico in a skyscraper 1s reason- ably safe. Notwithstanding their height tall buildings seem not especially to attract the lightning, and when a bolt strikes it usually spends its force in demolishing tthe flagpole. Is it merely limited observation that leads to the be- Mef or is there really an increase of cases of nervous read of lightning? This is largely a feminine fear, but of its prevalence, in some cases to the extent of becom- fing an insane terror, there Is no doubt. Why 1s it that the devout believer in an all-wise Providence ts most subject to such attacks and most often seeks the seclu- sion of a closet for safety while the sceptic glories in the physical exaltation which the electric storm induces?
