PRACTICAL DIRECTIONS FOR LIGHT
MING RODS.

ceieulluc AneflcAn-
AS the season OF thunder storms is
not far distant, few practical direc-
tiOns for lightning rods may be found
useful.
Quarter inch naked copper wire,
such as is used for street electric lights
will do for rods. Two Of such rods
are better than one, each rod to be
continuous, or If jOinted, the joints to
be sOldered.
Run the upper end Of the rod
around the edges Of the chimney, and
the peaks and edges Of the roofs; bend
so as to leave lOOped point at each
corner; points to be s inches high.
Fasten the rods directly to the exteri-
or Of building with staples, no insula-
tors. The bottom of each rod should
be wound around the metallic street
water pipe for gas pipe. II there Is DO
water pipel. Better solder the rod TO
the pipe.
By means of branch wires or rods
connect the lower ends OF the water
leaders, also one end Of each metallic
gutter, also metals and metallic
roofing, If any, with the rod; solder
the connections, and run rod TO
ground and around the water pipe, as
before stated. Several separate rods
may be used. The more the better II
properly grounded.
The essential rule OF safety is TO
have the rods well connected with the
earth. For this reason soldering TO
the underground water pipe is advis-
ed.
II no metallic water pipes or gas
pipes exist, then dig q very narrow
trench four feet deep, cone-shaped |
bottom, and fill into bottom q contin. |
uOus layer Of coal dust and lay the |
rod therein. Any kind Of coal dust.
charcoal, hard or soft coal will |
do. The trench with coal dust layer |
and rod therein should be saw 100 /
feet long. Coal is an electrical con-
ductOr. The object of placing the /
lower end Of the rod therein aud ex-
tending the rod 30 far is TO secure i
good ground connection and eOndue- i
tiOu for the rod.
The great majority Of rods now
erected are deficient la ground con-
nections, and consequently are practi-
eally useless. This is the reason we
hear Of so many instances OF damage
even when the buildings have rods.
In general the rod is simply stuck
down two or three feet deep into dry
earth, which is about the same as III
he lower end Of the rod were inelOs-
I'd in a bottle; such rods are fatally
defective. Now Is the time to look to
POUR rods. Correct the main defect,
BY making first rate ground con-
lectiOn, as above described, or take
iOwn your rod. The only chance for
iafety Is with good ground cOunec-
ion. The risk OF damage is less with
'ut rod than with one badly con-
leeted to the earth.

AS will be noticed in an article else
where the lOng-draWn out aud para
lying strike has been brought to q
close In a manner honorable 10 all
parties concerned. Grand Master
Workman Powderly has shown good,
solid sense from the commencement
Ofthe difficulties. He has counseled
moderation and patience from the
first. and his whole course has been
emphatically against ill-cOnsidered
action. He has told his fellow
Knights in vigorous Saxon that they
have oveFdone the matter In their
strikes and boycotting. He has
shown st one and the same time
that he is a law abiding citizen, a
lover Of good order-snd possessed Of
