PCBLISBH.I' EVERY THIURSDX AT XiWBE;RR Y,S. C. Lightning Protection. By.PROF. D. A. DUPRE. {Southern Christian Advocate.] The forces of nature which man strives to use are at times in a eon dition of uncontrol. The stiff breeze that speeds the huge merchant ship may cease, and in a moment a tor uado may leave no' trace of the graceful vessel. The gentle waters of streams which we bank up in our ponds and lakes to serve us foi mechanical purposes may overleap their barriers and give us the spec tacle of Mogul engines and stone piers borne along in a torren1 through a Conemaugh Valley. Electricity is being used on land on sea, in the air, in great anc deep mines-everywhere, for every thing. We are all ready to praise in glowing terms its wonders its ready obedience to our sum mons. The "wings of the wind' are stupid and slow comparec with its speed in executing om errands-it is our servant, do cile and quiet. But how about a thunder-storm " When the light -nings of heaven flash down amids1 our forests, or leap from tower to basement in their eccentric wan derings among our proud city ed ifices, roaring and crashing in ab F solute defiance of everything or earth, who is the servant now i Bul man is not bold enough yet to de mand that lightning do him service he will be content with some means of defense against its fearfu "strokes." It is said that "the temple o 'Jerusalem bristled with iron points that the fires or heaven respected for more than a thousand years the edifice consecrated to Jehovah.' '"Lightning neither touched the first temple built by Solomon nor that which rose upon its ruins aftei the captivity of Babylon." Wher & the third temple was being erected the "builders neglected to put ui the armatures and points which (had so successfully protected the -two temples before tne birth o: Christ." "The lightning was nol long in destroying the scaffoldings -ifii--dispersing the workmen seni byCesar." The points and iror) r~ods were placed ont the older tem Spies merely as ornaments, for thE Levites knew nothing of lightning S A flash of lightning produces les terror than a "clap of thunder-' But even among those who knos ~ he destruction there is much nerv ousness on the approach of a thun der-storm. There is a general im pression-rhat metals draw lightning YI saw in apaper of this State tha a man -was killed by iightniug be .cause he happened to have in hi hand an axe during a .thunder storm. I know a book that claim: Sto be serious which describes hov a young lady at some entertain ment, one evening, walked out on balcony, and, stretching out hel hand to see if it was raining, has the he'utiful gold bracelet upon hel arm melted like wax by a sudder stroke of lightning, she remain in lg unhurt. Many persons at thi -first mutterings of a distant thun storm begin to divest themselvei -of eveything metallic. I have seer thimble, needles, scissors, hairpins Shurriedly put aside for fear of at ?tracting the lightning. I know o Sa young lady ivho, on one occasion -at the approach of a storm,- strip ~ped herself of all her metallic ap ~pendages and then jumped upon zbed for safety. After the storm was over she was horrified to finm she had been reclining upon -brass spring mattress. Is it -rea ~sonable to suppose that lightning that can leap from ai cloud one o :two miles high, that is aiming wit] Sall a lightning's haste and fury t4 .reach old mother earth, could b Sturned aside to disturb a hair-pii -that is quietly nestling in a lady' >hair i Lightning is indeed eccen <trie, but its "ambition is immense' and it never loses its self-respect <A Wall street speculator aimini rafter wealth could not be turnet aside by a "copper cent'"-a goo< Sconductor as far as it goes, bu 'tis not enough. A French write of note says: "It is known tha the skin of our black brethren i ~.peculiarly insulating-that a negr< introduced into an electric chaii generally arrests the shock." Thi same author s. eiously states tha > "big feet reuader their possessor pe euiay iable to be struck bI ligchtning." So- defective are'Aightning rodi generally that many sensible peo lrefuse to put any faith in then - att; while many others, equally sensible, have them placed upon t' heir dwelljings for protectioi gainst the next lightning ror agent. When electricity accumu ates in cloud it seeks the shortes path to the earth or to anothe: cloud. The shortest electrical pat] is not always the shortest in dis 4'~a. The path that offers leas resistance. though zigzag, is the one lch:eo..cI. .\ltal.. are uod con du t 'u hen h a m, ;g.r f iJasses of metal, like a tin roof. iron stair way or gas-pipes, may determine ( the path of a lightning discharge. Very few lightning rods are properly constructed. The metal is most often too thin and too easily fused, No rod is reliable that weighs less than eight, ounces per running foot-it should weigh more. Thin copper rods said to be gal vanized are worthless ; there is no need for covering copper. A twisted rod is not appreciably better than .a solid rod. Little glass insulators are perfectly worthless. All rods should be securely fastened to the building by iron spikes. Copper is very expensive, and while a bet ter conductor than iron, it is more readily melted and may set fire to the building. Good authorities consider the following arrangement a safe protection .for a - dwelling against lightning: A common solid iron rod, round or square, about three-quarters of au inch in diame ter or on a side, projecting five or six feet abov?e chimney tops or gable ends, with a stout cone at top-not sharp points-should be securely fastened to the roof. From this point it should be carried by the most direct path to the'ground, every few yards being firmly at tached to the roof and walls of the building. It should be passed into the ground several feet from the foundation of the building. About four feet beneath the surface the rod should be firmly attached to a piece of plate iron, one-eighth inch thick and five or six feet square, which is to be entirely bedded in charcoal. This terminal to every rod passing into the ground is very important. Nearly all accidents to buildings from lightning have been attributed, after careful inspection, to rods defective at this point. Nearly all rods are .pushed down five or six feet into the ground; this banters lightning to do its worst. If lightning has not a safe and respectable escort from a building it will not only refuse to go at all but it will take possession for about one millionth of a second, which is abundant for all its pur poses. The rod should be painted to prevent rusting. If there are gas-pipes in the house, one of the rods should be in metallic connec tion with the main where it enters the building. The above plan is cheap. Any good blacksmith can readily carry it out.. - Where wire fencing is usesab~out dwellings, or for encelisTig stock, wires should be r,aifdown the posts every few hpifdred yards, connect ingbar- Tenco wires all together,. and then be passed into the ground -thus putting: up a number of small lightning rods, which pre vent an accumulation of induced electricity from taking place in the wire fencing. A Tree George Washington Marked. Before arriving at Capon Springs, bW. Va., about half a mile from the spring, a narrow way is seen lead ing directly across~ the road, in one direction toward the distant Ohio. This way was made by the order of Gen. Braddock to facilitate the march of his army during the last French and Indian wvar which preceded the Revolution. Wash ington was then on Braddock's staff, serving with the rank of Col onel. A tradition is carefully pre served that he and Braddock drank at the beauty spring, which spring was well known to the Indians, and deemed by them to have great medicinal properties, especially for rheumatism. The Indian maidens were supposed to be quite fond of walking in its waters on account of of the silken character which it im parts to the skin. But the great curiosity of Capon is the only tree remaining, which has the surveyor's mark made by Washington when he measured the Fairfax estate for its ancient lord. Capt. Vale, the proprietor of the springs, on whose lands it has stood for so long, on account of an accident which has happened to 'it, has had it hewn down and brought to the patch where it is to be set up, with proper mar-ks for recognition. Such a relic ought to be in possession of the National Mu seum at Washington. It is the only relic of the kind which relates to the early life of Washington, long before the era of his fame, wh-len he wandered through the woods of Virginia intent only on his profes sion. - - Heavy Rifn .The Pennsylvania Weather Service Bureau has collected some statistics to show the extraordinary rainfall in that State during the last two months. It has been calculated that enough water* fell in that time to form a lake 1,000 miles square and about 3-5 feet deep. During the three days when the Johns town flood was at its height, the down pour on the mountain plateaus of Northern Pennsylvania amounted to nearly 5,000,000,000 tons. "The Manly Art of Self D)efence. Giving "blow for blow," is often more thought of, than that' other "art of self defence." which consists in de feding one's own system from the as saults of disease and neglect. When dyspepsia, constipations biliousness, "liver comnplaint" ' ndice, and the like lay hold of t system, the best de fence is the ipi mediate use of Dr. Pierce's Pleas 't Pellets; tins, sugar coated Gra~ les, made from concen 'trated v'ege ble extracts: one adlose. -4 I ~J L1- 1J T V L14.aJa .v Uj _ Note?. Throw plenty of drN dirt into the pig pen an'l to the roor of the stalls. Of the 2,637,00 cattle slauglit ered for the dressed beef tra(le last year, 2,059,000 met their death at Chicago.

One grower will have 106,000 pines to ship this season. The peach crop of Delaware is estimated at a litile over half of a full crop, and the total figures are nearly three million baskets. There are now abc.ut five million owners .-of farms in the United States. About one million of the farms have been acquired since 1880. The grape crop of Nauvoo, usually the largest in the Mississippi Val ley, will probably be a total fail ure this year on account of black rot. A sealed package all the way from Krainburg; Austria, in which was a queen bee, arrived lately at Me chanic Falls, Maine. The bee was was alive and well.. The country affected by the drought embraces the part of Wash ing Territory east of the Cascade range and the principal valleys of Idaho and Montana. Clover sown among corn at the last cultivation and ploughed down for the next .crop is a cheap and practical way of capturing the fu gitive nitrogen so much needed. No matter how full the hay crop, all should be saved, .for there is reason to believe that the quality will be below the average and that in consequence more will be required to carry animals through the win ter. - The Great Bear River Canal is to be one of the grindest irrigation projects in America.

The House in Which Lee Surrendered. Major McLean owned and lived on the farm on which the Bull Run fight, or the ffrst Manassas en gagement, took place. About June 1, 1861, the position of the armies was rather close and uncomfortable,. and the Major refugeed to Appo mattox, with his family, and pur chased the house in which General Lee surrendered to General Grant and was present when the ar-ticles of agreement were signed. He occupied the building until his death, when it was purchased by Mr. N. H. Ragland, who died about one year ago, and is now owned and occupied by his widow, who has been offered a handsome price fr the historical spot, but as yet had refused all the tempting prop ositions made. In the same room where at one time stood Lee, Grant and their staffs, have stood three brides, and the most remarkable part is that all were sisters, one of whom was married in 1869, one in 179 and one in 1889, ten years hiaving intervened between each marriage- The old house has been remodeled since the war, but tour ists visit the place very frequently and secure shingles and other- por tions of the old building as memen toes of the day and place that has become famous the wor-ld over.

More men like that village car penter of whom one of his neigh bors is reported to have said: : "He has done more o, I really believe, in this community, than any other person who ever lived in it. He can not talk very well in prayer-meeting, and doesn't very often try. Hie isn't wor-th two thousand dollars, and it's very little~ he can put dlown on subscription papers for any good object. But a family niever moves into the viltage, that he does not find' them out. to give them a neighborly welcome, and offer any little service he can rende. He is usually on the look out to gire strangers a seat in his pew at church. He is always ready to watch with a sick neigh her, and look after his affairs for him ; and I've somietinmes thought he and his wife heep house plants in winter just for- the sake of being able to send little bon quets to invalids, lHe finds time for a pleasant word for every child he nmeets, and you'll always see them climbing into his one-horse wagon when he has no other load.
