If all contracts made by you are faithfully

that much of the popular want of faith
in the protection of Lightning Rods is
to be traced to an imperfect conEtrue-
ton of the rods themselves. Unless one be
made strictly in accordance with scientific prin-
eiples, it is worse than useless. passed bEild-
IA the city this morning, covered 10Th lightning
rods loheh are, "a eUery ray. calculated to tear
that building to pieces. The rods tloisfed and
attempted be insulated by feto inches Of glass;
as II the electric spark, tDhieh tear the noun
tain into shreds. could be stopped IN ITS career bV

Your plan ofmaking lightning rods is certain
ly by far the best have seen or read Of. The
large surface it affords for the fluid to aceumu-
late On-the security of the method of uniting
the sections Of the tube-the placing of the lines
against the building. and the material "copper"
of which it Is composed, being an infinitely bet
ter conductor than iron, are the chief points
which recommend Halls lightning rod above all
others hitherto invented, No objection can be
fdiriy brought against e.; and Its protection TO a
building Is calculated TO outliue the eristeHee OF
any ordinary building Itself Very truly yours.

NASHVILLE. TENN. July 5. IS69.-Messrs. Ma
ney 4 Shaiter-Gents: In former days gave a
great deal of attention to Lightning Rods as a
means Of protection for buildings. Halls Cop
per Scroll Lightning Rod. now before me, is bet
ter than the common iron just in proportion as
copper is a better conductor than iron, and al
it offers.
Taking into account the greater surface and
the superior conducting power Of copper, One
of Halls Rods is equal in conducting power to |
about StUteeR of the iron rods commonly used
in this country. The Point in this rod is per-
feet, and the manner of putting up the rod is
the one approved by Science and proven BY ex-
perienee to be the safest. L would also value
this rod greatly above the iron by reason of its
ightReSS-being therefor so much less Liable to
get loose from its fastenings than the heavy
iron rods in common use. c. ID. ELLIOTT,
