A Natural Gas srndicate.

The fact that Bradford, Wellsville,
Richburg. Bolivar, and all the towns and
hamlets on the northern and middle oil
fields are not only lighted, but heated by
gas, the machine shops, boilers and
hotels being supplied with the same fuel,
has attracted the attention of the capt.
talists, and syndicate is forming to
still further utilize the natural gas of the
snorthern belt which extends from Lake
Erie east POO miles, and from Bloomfield,
Ontario County, n. y, south to near
Pittsburgh; in other words. nearly 200
miles 7quare. As an evidence that Lhis
gas is practically inexhaustible the fact
is stated that one well at Sheffield, War
rem County, has been flowing steadily
for fifteen years, and another in West-
moreland County nearly as long, and
the Gas from either would light and heat
the city of Philadelphia Capitalists in
terested in the gas syndicate were IN
Bradford to-day, and, canvassing The
situation, came to the conclusion that
the scheme for furnishing natural gas
through immense pipes to Philadelphia-
New York, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, BATH
more. Washington, ST Louis and other
cities east of the Mississippi River was
entirely practicable. These wells are
only lSOlateu eNiue&ice u q iouu.o "
tain oil. As soon as gas well is struck
that section is abandoned There is no
doubt any number of wells OF similar
character could be struck in the sections
known as gas-streaks, which are spurned
hy the oil operators. The gentlemen
who are interested in the enterprise are
ali large capitalists, AMI are confident OF
ultimate success in supplying the great
cities of the Union with gas. for light
and fuel, at much less rates than even
electricity can be furnished. -Brdaforo

Lightning Rods.

OF late years so many buildings have
been injured by lightning that were sup
posed to be fully protected with light
ming rods that public opinionis becoming
somewhat changed in regard to the effi-
cacy of lightning rods. We apprehend
that in many, perhaps the most of, cases
where damage has been done, it has
been caused BIZ the rods being imper
fectly constructed, or put UP wrong, or
perhaps permitted to get out of order
after being put up.
Some men who put up rods do not
understand their BUSINESS; others, find
ing the owner of a building unwilling TO
pay the price that it will cost to fully
protect his building, viii put up half rods
enough to protect it and assure the
owner it is fully protected.
If an iron rod IS put on building
with points TO attract the electricity
from the passing clouds it is of the high
est importance that it should be so put
mp that it viii carry off all that it at
tracts, or it hal better not be on the
building III the end of the rod does
not reach the ground, the charge of
electricity will leave the rod and in all
probability enter the building and greatly
iniure it. This is a well understood
fact, yet many buildings have rods on
them that have been broken off, and so
do not reach the ground; in many cases
the owners know this but do not take the
trouble to repair the break. 1t is also
well known that to carry off the cleo
tricity safely, the end of the rod must
descend to moist earth; but notwith
ing this well-knOwn fact, many rods are
put up so that the rod descends into the
ground so little depth that the ground at
the end of the rod is dry most of the
summer.
1t is laid down as n rule that a point
OF rod VIII protect only circle twice
the diameter OF the height of the point
above the building, yet how many en-
deavor to protect a thirty feet bnilding
with one or two points only five feet
above the building, thus protecting less
than two-ninths of the building. Some
times we see rods running across the
roof In different directions, with little
points every foot or two in length but
with only one. or at most two rods de-
scending TO the earth, thus inviting a
large amount of electricity, without
making the proper provision to carry it
off.
Those who have rods on their houses
should carefully examine them every
year and see that they are in proper
condition; or if not, to remove them
altogether; for it is always dangerous to
have lightning rod on building that
is not properly put up, and always kept
in good Massachusetts, Plough
