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

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.

Throw plenty of drN dirt into

Of the 2,637,00 cattle slauglit

year, 2,059,000 met their death at
Chicago.
Farm horses kept in well ventil

The cultivation of pineapples is
rapidly extending to Southern Flor

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

The country affected by the
drought embraces the part of Wash

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

The Great Bear River Canal is to
be one of the grindest irrigation
projects in America. Two 1 - ' o
dollars have been pro ' for its
construction. - canal will
irrigate -, 00 acres in Salt
La -alley and 6,000,000 on Bear
rver, increasing the value of the
land to $60 per acre, while fencing,
building and tillage will double
this valuation in a few years.
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.

"He has done more o, I really

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

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

He really seems to have a genius
for helping folks in all sor-ts of
common ways. and it does mec
