LIGHTNING RoDs. Professor Henry

LIGHTNING RoDs Professor Henry s
views in regard to the best method of
constructing and erecting lightning
rods appear to differ from those OF some
other scientific authorities. In pub
lished letter on the subject Professor
Henry says that the rod should consist
of round iron of about one inch diam
eter, and that its parts throughout the
whole length, should be in perfect
metallic continuity by being secured to-
gether by ccupling ferrul $. To secure
it from Iust the rod should be coated
with black paint, itself a good conduc-
tor it should terminate i'll single
platinum point. The shorter and more
direct the course of the root to the
earth the better. Bendings should be
rounded and not formed in acute angles.
1t should be fastened to the building
iy iron eyes, and may he insulated from
these by cylinders OF glass, the latter
point, however. not being of special i'm
portanco. The rod should be placed,
in preference, on the west side of the
building, and it should be connected
with the earth In the most perfect man
ner possible.

THE NEW JAIL.-The new County

truly formidable place of confine-

ly encasedwith iron ami proof against
all efforts to effect breach either
from outside or inside. Three
other cells are securely guarded on the
inside by iron and timbers so as to rem
der them secure for all ordinary pur-
poses. The building has an elegant
outside appearance, being two stories
high, with fat roof and neat cornice.
The outside windows are securely
grated.
