Lightning Reds.

From Hearth and Home.
!. correspondent has asked respecting
lichtuing-roas and their value. To
his inquiries we have the pleasure Of
giving the following replies by Prof.
Looms, of Yale College:
There have been numerous instan
s,es in which buildings have been
truck aud somewhat damaged by
lightning, although they were fur
,.ished with lishtning-rod, but in every
instance, SO far as | am aware, the
construction OF the rods was obvious
ly faulty in some important particular
First. The most common fault Of
lightning rods is that they do not per-
nit the electricity TO pass off freely in
% the earth. Dry earth is a poor
conductor of electricity, but water is
j good conductor. II rod tcrmin-
s.;es in dry earth, the electricity du-
ling "A thunder storm may accumulate
upon the rod, and will the thence pass
III literally TO other conductors, and
occasion the same damage as if there
serc no lightning-rod. The rod
should enter the ground 10 such a
.le,slli as TO reach water, which COM
innnica,cs freely with the mass Of the
earth. In large city, this may be
accomplished by connecting the rod
with the water-pipes; and in the
cunt, y the rod may generally be
.>orsecled with well or spring Of
water. If such an arrangement is in
Convenient, the rod should be made
/, descend TO permanent moisture,
fa,l his viii often require depth of
I u ,eef.
Second. Tie second most COM
mon fault of lightning rods is that
they aroaot continuous. Links and
Interrupted joints oppose resistance to
Ike passage of electricitr, and should
therefore be avoided. If the rod is
Of separate portions, these
.'arls should be firmly screwed to-
ge,ier. SO as tc constitute continu-
~ conductor from top 10 bottom,
ithout interruptions Of any kind.
Third. The rod should be Of sufii-
cent size. The proper size demand
ii for -aiire secnrity depends some
shat upon the number of the rods, and
tlso upon their length. If the rods is
d iron, ii should be from half an inch
), an inch in diameter. II the rod is
I copper, one third of an inch may
ai'ficc.
Fourth. The rod should rise con-
ilerably above the highest part Of
he building, and should terminate at
le top in sharp point 1t has gen.
raily been assumed that rod will
reject a circle whose radius is twice
spe hight Of the rod but this rnIe y
nj always quite safe, and unless 2
,ailding be quite small. it should
nave more than one rod. Chimneys
.ced special protection. especially .
.hinney which is habitually used in
ammer.
Ii these directions are faithfully
complied with. IT il believed they will
,sure entire security against damage
rom lightning.

stand how a person can write an arti-
Gle, make speech, and even turn off
q good poem, but he cannot imagine
the mental operation Of one who
composes = new tune. Mr.. Parton
can read and understand mnsic, for
he tells us that he has frequently tried
to make a tune, bat, after succeeding
with three or four original notes, he
has invariably found himself running

experience is that of many.

A NATIONAL MONUMENT.

In the columns devoted to our correspon-
dents will be found suggestion from the
moulders Of Cincinnati to which We direct
especial attention, viz. the propriety of
erecting a monument to the memory Of W +.
H. Sylvis. While We duly appreciate the
feelings which prompted the action taken,
we sincerely hope, (and in that hope we be.
lieve we express the desire Of nine out Of
every ten workIngmen throughout the
country that the proposed tribute will as
sumo a wider range and psrtake Of an essen
tally national character.
Let, for example, the initiative be taken
by the National Labor Congress, and we
have the authority Of its president, @. H.
Tucker, for stating that such g recommends
ton will be made 10 his Official capacity.
Let a committee be appointed to devise q
plan by which a national con tribution and
harmonious cooperation withith Moulders'
Uniops can be secured. II deemed prefera-
be the monument can be erected in sec
tons, each perfect in itself, similar, in fact,
to the Douglas column in this city, so that
there need be no jealousy or i'll feeling en-
gendeTed. A treasurer can doubtless be Sc
cured in the person Of Senator Sprsgue,
while from week to week a'detailed state
ment Of the receipts can be published. And
when sufficient amount to warrant the ap-
plication has been secured, let a,request be
made on the authorities OF Philadelphia for
permission to erect such tribute in one Of
the many beautiful parks which sdorn that
CITY. By pursuing this or a similar plan it
occurs to us that the mite Of every toiler IN
the land would be promptly and cheerfally
contribute !.
The fame and name Of Wm Fl. Sylvis,
like that Of the "fatber " his country" be
longs TO DO craft or Section. His views we're
circumscribed by 20 trades organisation.
While we cheerfully g. acede that it was as
President Of the lion Moulder's Uniou tba,
bis extraordinary executive abilities and
comprehensive judgment were frat develop
ed, it Wss As President Of the National La
Dor union-as the representative man Of the
toiIsng millions of the country, that his nG-
ttonai fame was secured. Under these cir
cumstances, We trust our friends in Cinc,n-

HINES QUAR- CERLY. OR REVOLT.
ZIONIST.

| We have had this publication lying on
bur table some time for o review, and We
intended q more thorough notice Of it than
we shall at P-Isent be able to give. The
article on the " distribution Of wealth." tax
Zen as a whole, is very good. The claim,
however, that Kellogg has Over-esrimated the
aggregate wealth in the United States, IN
asserting that five per cent. Of the population
Town fifty per cent. Of the property, is very
far from being sustained by the exhibition
;oi facts.
If the assessment roll Of Cincinnati for
s1s6s shows that {, 500 persons, representing
IL 800, or Eve per cent Of . population Of
$3.50, 900, own $50 COO, 900 Of $l62, 100000 Of
property, we think that such fact would
60 very far towards showing that in Cincin-
natl five Per cent Of the population own
more than 6ty per cent. Of the property
property is not the base Of taxation, but the
necessities OF men. What . man wears,
eats and drinks, is the fund Goe taxation, not
his surplus. Taxation, therefore, touches
all the rcpeTty Of the poor, not 1.-THE Of
that Of the rich. Besides Ih, se, taxes do not
very clearly reveal the bonds and mortgages
and stocks Of the itch. Taking into account,
then, that there are some six or seven bill
lions Of this interest bearing national, state,
corporate and individual securities We are
very far from thinking that even an estimate
that three per cent Of the population own
fifty per cent. Of the property would be
above the truth.
If, however, Mr.. Hine had made no worse
bIunders than enron, - estimates, We C, uli
easily overlook such mistakes. But when
we examine bis work in detail we and more
