properly erected, IL constitutes In my judgment
safeguard from the destructive effects Of atmospheric
Another important advantage possessed BY these
Conductors Is thelr perfect freedom from oxidaton
In Its construction Is composed of four large iron
wires and four copper do. compaety laid together3
being twisted in spiral form, retaining uDimPaired
the properties of electric conduction greater In pow
or than any rod yet made; besides, copper Is one OF
the best known conductors OF ofelectriety, and Nod
tnus must possess the power of at least six Or
diuary rods.
Noionly have these rods become celebrated for the
protection ofbuldings, but also for shipping having
the appearance OF rope. That which Is Intended
for conduction, Is made permanent by forming
back stay, or part Of the rigging, passing into q
eopper pate which Is attached to the vessel In such
ner thatt Is entirely out OF the way yet In con-

Last summer, We frequently noticed huge coils OF
wire pass up Main street, which We now learn were
for MesSrs. Smith IL Co.'s Works; and that some
idea may be formed of the extent The business they
are doing, tits only necessary TO say that since the
l4h of February orders have been received for 4S
00O feet embracing this State, Illinois Mississippi
! Alabama, Michigan, Ohio, New York and Penna.
Thai thoy answer the end for which they are design
ed far better than any other is conetusvely proved
! by the testimony of our most scientific men, and By
actuPl experiments that IL is just what the inventor
claims for 1.-THE best conductor yet invented. No
dwelling, vessel building Of any kind should gt
unprovided against the sudden and appalling danger
of electricity .-Racine (Wisl Advocate, April Is, 81
| II CPRead what X. E.,CAMPDELL, a gentleman vel
| known in Portage county snys efit: u t..t
| do certify that the above Rod is the best con
structed one, and believe TIE best conductor tina
has ever been used from the fact that it combin
alton fth1 best conducting metals in existence; be
Ing continuous, without Joints couplings, prescnt
ing and unbroken surface from the top to III
bottom witch are very essential qsalities Of Light

HFF, Ravenna Ohio, who Is prepared TO erect theI
on dwellings of all Kinds in a scientific and subslar
tial manner. Noperson should fail to have his built
