Lightning Enriches Soil
Lightning, which sometimes catises damage, does far more good than harm. In its passage through the air oxygen and nitrogen are combined by the electric arc action to form oxides which unite with the rain drops to form nitric acid. In this manner the soil is enriched to the extent of 100 million tons of nitric acid annually—more than is produced by the combined output of ail the world’s fertilizer plants.
Fishery Biologist Studies
Streams in Shenandoah
The superintendent of Shen- 1 andoah National Park has announced' that Fishery Research Biologist T. K. Chamberlain of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now engaged in a comprehensive study of htreams within the Park to determine what is necessary to accomplish the ParkVobjective of providing good sport fishing during the season, in keeping with National Park Service policies.
Mr. Chamberlain, who has been on this assignment since April 14, is well qualified in this work and has had considerable experience in fresh-water fisheries management. He was detailed in 1936 to work with the U. S. Forest Service on the Pisgah National Forest in the development of a trout fishing policy for the Southern Appalachian National Forests. In 1941 his assignment was a study of trout streams and warm water farm ponds or “tanks” in Arizona and New Mexico for the Indian Service. Since then he has been on fishery assignments for has Service in Texas, Colorado, Florida and Oklahoma.
The present survey at Shenandoah National Park should provide information on what management is necessary to provide the best possible sport fishing consistant with the basic policies of the National Park Service, one of which is that wildlife shall be fully protected under natural conditions.
