LIGHTNING RODS.
MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST |, 1859.

Lightning RODS.
Much was said and written last year upon
the subject OF lightning rods. and more doubts
We're expressed respecting their protective
pow er than have been uttered since the days
of Franklin. 1t is not our purpose to write
u series of articles or even to trouble the
reader with one long article, believing. ~
we do, that "a few words OF advice will suffice
better than "A treatise But few have either
leisure or opportunity to master the sub ect
In IA manner to enable them to Judge Of its
philosophy or to scritinize the opinions Of
those who give it their attention. We pro-
pose simply to make two or three plain Ms
sertions, based upon science. and do not
hesitate to recommend their practical appli-
cation to all who seek for safety by protect
ing their buildings. Let those who prefer
it doubt and speculate; but We must regard
1t as an indication Of Indifference which can
not be justified. We recommend reason
able belief and corresponding action.-
That properly constructed lightning rod,
rightly adjusted to the size and shape of Il
building. is the source Of safety during thun-
der storms there can be no doubt. We take
science as it stands preferring to rest upon
well ascertained truths, established by the
long and patient examinations of distinguish
ed minds, than upon the assumptions OF the
superficial or Of the ignorant.
We will close by quoting IN extract from
letter OF Prof. Olmstead 10 Mr.. Capen OF this
city. in 1913, published in the Massachusetts,
Ploughman i'm 1853. Mr.. Olmstead was a
safe adviser:
81 The diameter of the rod which is
deemed best on all accounts. is three-fOurths
of an inch.
80 A rod is held to afford protection over
acircular space whose radius is equal to twice
the height of the rod above the highest part
of the building. usually the ridges thus a
rod rising fifteen feet above the ridge will
protect space every way of thirty feet.
80. A single point tipped with platina |
believe to be US good termination as any.
and is the kind generally employed in France
and Continental Europe. Here we more gen
orally employ three branches eble gilt; but
/ think it is much a matter of taste. Both
have always stood the test ofexperience when
all other things were right.
-. Iron is selected for it's cheapness.-
Copper is better conductor. but COSTLY
Iron, when painted black, either with
lampblack or black lead, may, | think, be
cOnfded in.
1.-The most important circumstances OF
lightning rod are these two: |. Its surface
should be continuous, without links or hooks,
with close joints. ,. 1t should descend into
the ground to the depth OF permanent mols-
ture. This will vary with the s,il. 1t
should be never less than six feet The rod
should branch of at the lowest extremity in
three roots, and the part below the ground
should be surrounded with wellhurnt char
coal. This will afford better c"nduc-
tor than ordinary earth will keep moist, and
tend to preserve the iron from rusting -
