Protection Against Lightning.

= 2&FF y , Esss sNss-----g Sc --Ra SO -
MIR. Nahum Capen has contributed,to
the Boston Post a communication con-
corning lightning rods, received by hAn
several years ago from Prof. Henrys OF
the Smithsonian Institute, whom he be-
lieyes to be the highestauthority on this
subject. Prof Henry makes sugges-
.tions as follows: -g~a ''- -, ..'..
L. The rod should, consist of round
iron of about one inch in diameter;' its
parts, throughout the whole length
should be in perfect metallic continuity,
by being secured together by coupling
ferrules. ar ssesssz Vi ,s4.n-. trs7 ~.
2. To secure it from rust the rod
should be coated with black paint, itself
a good conductor. 80 as "a,
5. 1t should terminate in single pla-
tinum point. < tsr
tt'~~33.~sTile shorter more direct the
course OF the rod to hegearth the better;
bendings should be rounded and not
formed in acute angles.
5. 1t shoulaibe fastened to the build
ling by iron eyes, and may be insulated
from these by cylinders of glass, q don't,
however, consider the latter of much
I
! 6. The rod should be connected with
| the earth in the most perfect manner
possible, and nothing is better for this
purpose than to place it in metallic con-
tact with the gas pipes, of the city. This
connection may be made by a ribbon of
copper or4F iron = ssoldered to the
end of its extremities and
wrapped around the pipe. / at
the other If connection of this kind
is impracticable, the rod should be con-
tinued horizontally to the nearest well
and then turned vertically downward
until the end enters the water as deep as
its lowest level. The horizontal part of
the rod may be buried in a stratum OF
pounded charcoal and ashes. The rod
should be placed, in preference, on the
west side of the building. A rod of this
kind may be put up by an ordinary
blacksmith. The rod in question is in
according with our latest knowledge OF
all the facts of electricity. Attempted
improvements on it are worthless, and
as general thing, are proposed by those
who are but slightly acquainted with the
subject. = IS a7s.a-aqs
I MIR. Capen says: eza He speaks only
of iron rods, probably because least ex
pensive. Rods of one-third the size,
made of copper and put up in the same
way, would answer the same purpose. y
And he also, makes some suggestions as
follows: "When any building is struck
by lightning, let all the phenomena fol
lowing the event be particularly stated
The size and situation of the building
and how occupied and surrounded. 1
a house, what part. If a stable, how
occupied. If protected by rod, o
whose make, how large in diameter ane
of what metal, and how extended to thu
! parts of the building and how deeply Sc
4 in the ground. The phenomena o
electricity can not be too carefully de
scribed, and if such descriptions are gen
orally made to the press the public woult
soon acquire much practical information
that would not only be useful to all, bu
do much to remove a common scepticisn
q in respect to the importance of wei
adjusted lightning rods.A zzes =
