corning lightning-rods, received by him
several years ago from Prof. Henry, Of
the Smithsonian Institute, whom he be-
@licvcs % be the highest authority on this
subject. Prof Henry makes sugges-
tions as follows:
1. 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
fcrrules.
?. To secure il from rust the rod
should be coated with black paint, itself
a good conductor.
?. II should terminate in a single pla-
tinum point.
,. The shorter and more direct the
course Of the rod 10 the earth the better:
bendings should be rounded and not
formed IN acute angles.
3. II should be fastened 10 the build
ing by iron eyes, and may be insulated
from these by cylinders Of glass, (I don't,
however. consider the latter Of much
importance.)
y. The rod should be connected with
the earth IN the most perfect manner
possible. and nothing j. better for this
purpose than 70 place il in metallic con
tact with the gas pipes, Of the city. This
connection may be made by d ribbon 81
copper on iron soldered To the
end TT lis extrcmities and
wrapped around the pipe Al

tinued horizontally 70 the nearest well

the rod may be buried in 4 stratum of

Improvements on il are worthless, and,

subject.
Mr.. Capen says: .He speak only

And he also makes some suggestions rs
