LIGHTNING.

Previous to the discoveries of Franklin, it
was thought that people were in equal danger
Of being injured by this destructive element in
all places; but, no sooner he'd he established
tho identity OF lightning and electricity, than
rods Of iron were erected on buildings to pro,
So OiiCSCo.
Unqucstionably, many buildings have been
protected, and many lives saved by this instru-
Inent; but in some cases, buildings have been
injured by lightning which were provided with
rods. The cases Of this kind, which have &C.
Cured, have had tendency to bring the rod
into dsrepute with some. Those who doubt
the utility of the lightning rod should be re-
minded, that the benefits resulting therefrom
depend upon the manner in which the rod is
constructed for the rod is not of sufficient size
to govern and direct the course Of an ordinary
discharge of electrical fluid from thunder
cloud unless it DO connected with strong
conducting substance at the bottom; and that
sufficiently large and extensive to receive, at
once, the largest discharge that may occur
The electric fluid pervades all matter, and
is equally distributed among different bodies,
1t is only when the equilibrium is destroyed
that the electrical phenomena appear. When
n sudden change of temperature takes place in
the atmosphere, owing to n shift of wind. the
water which was held in solution by the ntInos.
