far out on the water has been received by department of lands and forest officials a texas university professor b x gafford has been experimenting to find the best ways and means for fishermen and others to avoid contact with the fearful bolts of electrical energy that are released from the clouds during a storm he says that the best way is to get ashore before the storm strikes but if this is not possible the fol lowing precautions should be taken attach a metal fishing rod to the side of the boat so that the handle is in constant contact with the water and the tip projected vertic ally in the air above the heads of the boat occupants however whether the makeshift lightning arrester is in place or not it is best to lie down in the boat so that the body is below the gunwales edges of the
