Earth Hit With
100 Lightning
Bolts Each Second
Chicago, (Science Service)
A hundred lightning bolts
bombard the earth every sec
ond of the day, each bolt con
taining millions of volts and
from 1,000 to 340,000 amperes
of current.
In the U.S.- alone lightning
kills some 600 persons an
nually, injures about 1,500
others and causes more than
$100,000,000 property dam
age, according to the Light
ning Protection Institute here.
All states have electrical
storms, though some more of
ten and some more severe
than others. The average num
ber for any given area is about
40 storms a year. There are
from 40 to 80 lightning strikes
a year within the average
square mile in this country.
Although there is still no
known method for prevent
ing lightning, there are ways
to protect against it.
Gigantic Spark
Lightning is a gigantic
spark resulting from the surge
of electrical charges rushing
to meet their opposites. This
interchange may be from
cloud to cloud or from cloud
to earth. The average light
ning bolt is composed of 20
separate chargets in rapid suc
cession. The average lightning
stroke is about 4,000 feet long.
In general, a tall object is
more likely to be bit by light
ning than a low one. Positive
electrical ground charges con
gregate in tall objects in order
to be as close as possible for
an explosive meeting with
their negative opposites found
in storm clouds.
A house in an open area is
more likely to be hit than a
house closely surrounded by
taller structures because a
"cone of protection" is provid
ed by the highest object. This
cone theory holds that an ob
ject will shield an area within
a radius of one to two times
the height of the object.
Grounding Systems
Lightning rods and ground
ing systems properly design
ed and installed will protect
a house from lightning dam
age. These safeguards escort
a lightning bolt into the
ground or dissipate it into the
air.. . ' - ' .
- The average TV antenna,
even : though grounded and
with a lightning arrester, does
not offer protection to the
house proper. It is neither
grounded with a sufficient
sized conductor nor does it
provide enough paths to earth
to function as an efficient
lightning rod.
The most dangerous places
to be in a lightning storm are
on a golf course, in a boat, In
the water swimming, atop a
hill, at the beach, under an
isolated tree, near a wire
fence or overhead wires, and
riding a bike, tractor, horse
or farm machinery.
Safest Placet
The ' safest places are In
buildings protected with
lightning rods, steel-framed
buildings and inside closed
cars. .
If outside, seek protection in
a ravine, ditch or cave, or
lie flat on the ground so that
you are not the tallest object
in the immediate area. If in-.
doors in an unprotected build
ing, keep away from door
ways, open windows, metal
objects, the fireplace, the sink,
the telephone and the tele
vision set.
Lightning, which can strike
twice in the same place, is as
likely to strike wood or ma
sonry as it is steel.
Boy in Nashville
Is More Than Boy
Nashville, Ga. -UPD- "Come
on, Boy!" snapped Arnold
Ray as he waved a piece of
bacon rind tied to the end of
a long stick.
"Bov" is anything but a
boy. In fact, he's a mean
looking, one-eyed alligator
eight feet long owned by Lon
ni Lewis, who found him by
the side of the road three
years ago and keeps him as
a pet.
Rav's iob is to feed Boy. of
whom he says: "He's about as
tame as alligators can get.
which isn't quite tame enough
to get too close. He knows
when it's feeding time, and he
knows my call."
Rav said the critter "will
come from as far away as he
can hear me" to be fed. Just
then. two massive jaws
clamped on the food and the
'gator slowly slipped into the
cool water of the lake.
"He always goes back in
the water to eat it," said Ray.
He beckoned again and Boy
came up for more food.
But the alligator "won't
eat in the wintertime," his
feeder said. "I eot him to eat
a little piece of mullet last
October, and from then until
March he wouldn't touch a
- - - n
thing."
