The strength and toughness of their fibers fit them to cope with storms. The bark of the oak is in great demand for tanning and dyeing. Its wood is unsurpassed for durability and strength. Its broad medullary rays make it one of the most valuable ornamental woods. Much of the beautiful carving in the great Eu- ropean cathedrals is on oak wood. Always oak has been the ship-wright's favorite lumber, be- cause it is so durable under water. Before the art of bending wood artificially was understood..., the crooked trunks and boughs of the oak were particularly valuable to those needing curved timbers. Since earliest time people have worshiped the oak. The Greeks believed it was the first tree THE MIGHTY OAK 125 that grew upon the earth. They dedicated it to Jupiter, the king of the gods. In the north it was sacred to Thor, and in the east to Perun, the thunderer, the chief god of heathen Eussia. Always the oak has been the thunderer 's own tree, and hence our grandfathers were wont to warn their children, "Beware of the oak, it draws the stroke." In ancient Greece, one of the most venerated oracles was the prophet oak of Dodona.
