Lightning Rods.

During the summer, when thunder
storms are most common, special atten-
ton should be paid, particularly in eX-
posed situations in country places, to
the condition of the lightning rods. The
main stem of q copper Lightning con-
ductor should never be less than four
tenths of an inch in diameter; this d.
mension is not sufficient for building
more than eighty feet high. Galvanized
iron may be used instead of copper, but
then the diameter should be, at least,
double that of a copper rod. A galvan-
lied iron-rope conductor should never
be less than eight-tenths of an inch in
diameter, galvanized iron strip should
be four inches wide and One-eighth of
an inch thick. A lightning rod must
be continuous and unbroken from end
to end. A rod need not be attached to
a building by insulated fastenings; met
al clamps may be safely employed, pro-
vided the rod be of good conduct
ing capacity and otherwise efficient.
Above, the rod must terminate in met
al points, well projected into the air;
there should be several of these points
and all perfectly sharp. The bottom of
the conductor must be carried down in
to the moist earth and be connected
with it by a surface-contact of large ex-
tent. All large masses of metal in a
building should be metalically connected
with the lightning-rod, except when
they are liable to be occupied by people
during thunder-storm-an iron bal
cony, for instance. In such cases it is
better not to have the iron connected
with the conductor, for there is some
risk of persons standing on the balcony
furnishing path for the lightning to
the rod. The rods ought to be tested
every year to make sure that the con-
tinuity is perfect, and the ground con-
nectiOn satisfactory

Fall Flowing.

Most of what is called fall blowing
should be done in the summer So
soon as the small grain can be stacked
the stubble should be plowed under,
and with it all the incipient weeds.
Many farms are becoming infested
with the cookie burrs and other
noxious weeds. 1t is useless to be Wig
liant and watchful of these weeds in a
plowed crop if they are allowed to go
to seed in the stubble. The cookie burr,
rag-weed, fox tail, etc., though cut off
in reaping, sprout again and ripen seed
the last of August, if not buried be-
yond resurrection by pillow turning
SIX or eight inches deep. The stubble
and weeds, if turned under early, will
thoroughly decompose, ready to aid the
next years crop. But if late, the pro-
cess is only planting 4 foul crop of
weed seed, to start out next spring be-
fore the crop which is sown or planted.
There is no time to lose. In large
fields the distant parts will make rapid
strides to ripen weed seed before the
pillow reaches it. Owing to copious
rains in most of the States blowing can
proceed now satisfactorily.
Besides the destruction of the weeds
and decomposition of stubble, the plow-
ing aids the fertility of the soil. Our
ground is not plowed enough. When
thrown up loose it absOrbs more of the
fertilizing gases of the atmosphere.

| The reckless competition among both
small and great adds to the solemnity
and gloom of tropical forest" In
these untrodden bowers the humming-
! bird makes its home. 1t is peculiar to
America and the adjacent islands, and
although bearing some relation to the
sun-bird of Asia and Africa, it is never
found across the water in all its tiny
beauty A few varieties live in the
Northern United States, and are often
seen sporting over beds of flowers in
the summer sunshine. Their motion is
rapid and graceful. Now close at hand,

Never appearing to alight, they hover

bright humming-bird of gem-like plsmelet-

named"
creature, which is found in the greatest
abundance in the West Indies and all
through South America. Its coloring
is marvel of beauty. Now like a
ruby, now a topaz, or emerald, or
shimmering gold, it seems tluttering
rainbow, the most lovely and dainty of
all the great bird family. Like the bird
of paradise, the humming- is never
seen on the ground. Its tiny nest,
often no larger than a walnut shell, is
fastened in the fork of a branch, or sus-
pended by fine SPIDERS webs to leaf
or the stalk of creeper. Some varie-
ties weave a nest as firm and durable
as leather; others-those that build on
branch-cover it with dainty lichens,
so that it appears as portion of the
original twig, being completely con-
cealed. There are nests hard on the in
side, others soft and downy as the finest
silk lining, the fiber of certain plants,
can make them. The female, which,
like all other bird species, is dull and
plain when compared to her gorgeous
consort, deposits one or, at the most,
two tiny white eggs. In ten days they
are Matched, and in a week after birth
the young are able to leave the nest,
although some months must elapse be-
fore the male acquires the full beauty of
his plumage. Much has been written
about the food of these tiny creatures,
the early naturalists believing that they
subsisted solely upon nectar Of flowers.
But it has now been proved that they
cannot long endure diet of sweets
alone. Minute flies, spiders, and al
most invisible bugs are eagerly sought
for by the humming- bird, and it has
been seen to make fine breakfast on
the gossamer spider, which it neatly
abstracts from the center of its silvery
web.-Helen S, Copaat, IN Harper'S
