DANGER FROM LIGHTNING.
An Interesting Report Prepared for the
German Government.


German Government.
From recent report by Dr. He'll
man on statistics of lightning damage
in Schleswig-Holstein, Baden and
Hesse, it appears that the danger from
lightning in these parts (unlike the
case of other parts of Germany has
been decreasing of late years. Soft
rooted houses are fired about seven
times oftener than those with hard
roofs. Windmills are struck 50 times
and church and clock towers 80 times
oftener than ordinary houses with hard
roofs. The marshy regions in Schles-
wig-Holstein are the most dangerous;
and the land about inlets of the east
coast the safest. With like conditions,
the relative danger decreases the
more houses are grouped together.
In Baden the danger varies more
than in any part of Germany
(about Heidelberg it is "a and in
Waldshut 265 per million houses) In
Hesse, the low plain of the middle
Rhine is the most dangerous part In
the fifteen years 1865 SO, there were
killed by lightning for every million
men in Prussia A. 4. in Baden 3.S. in
France 81 and in Sweden 80. The
geological nature of the ground, and
espe cially its capacity for water. has
important influence. Thus, calling
the danger on lime l, that for sand is
8, while for loan it is %. This is
partly why most of South Germany
and Austria is less dangerous than
North Germany. There are four fac
tors affecting the lightning danger to
buildings; two physical-unequal fire.

HOW TO GRADE LOTS.
The Handsomest Surface Which a Resi-
dence Property Can Present.

| The Handsomest Surface Which Resi-
dence Property Can Present.
The advantage in appearance which
house has that stands up we'll above
the level of the street or roadway, is
now very generally understood, and
consequently we find the foundation
walls built higher than was customary
some years ago. In order TO increase
the effect still more, it is now very
common practice in ordinary suburban
lots to fill in soil sufficient to raise the
surface foot or two above the street,
thus forming terrace at the street
line. We do not advise this practice
for general adoption. but in some
cases the peculiar circumstances make
it desirable. Where the fall of the
drainage is very slight. it is even nee
essary; where the grade of a street is
lowered, and the grounds have al
ready been planted. there is usually
no other course but to terrace at the
time. Bat course that is
necessary under the conditions
named has been meaninglessly copied
in many instances where there was no
occasion for it, and we see the lots
along the whole lines of streets piled
up sometimes us much as three feet or
more above the general level, even
where it is necessary to build within a
few feet of the line, thus requiring the
entrance to the house to be by flight
OF eight or ten steps. On larger
grounds where are built villas or resi-
dences of much pretension in style
and finish, and which occupy suf1i-
ciently elevated site, and at consider
able distance from the street, this
method of grading up the front and
terracing at the line is sometimes
adopt ed, but the appearance is far less
pleasing than an even grade over the
whole surface; one effect is to shorten
apparently the line of distance from
the street to the house. and thus di-
minish the size of the grounds. A
gentle and gradual rise from the
street line to the front of the house is
the handsomest surface residence lot
can present. rs Magazine
