The legant and perfect method of insulation, constitutes ts chief excellence, wvhile it combines all the advan es of Quimby's and other rods. When the rod asses through the glass ring~s, which arc supported iv metallic iron bolts driven into the wval's of the souse, as in the old method, the glass ring is easily iroken-st, from being interposed between two aetallic surfaces ;2d, by the condensationi of the itmospere before an electrical current ; 3d. by the rioent collapse of the air which immediately fol owvs, and 4th, by the hteat of the electrical discharge, ik the pouring of hot water into a glass tumbler. ['he insulators being thus broken, the electrical fluid s even invited to the buihling. Many houses with .his imperfect protection have been destroyed by igmtnig. But a few days since I saw a small touse struck though protected with two such rods.
