THE LIoHrNING.Rop MYTH.
Electricians Now Declare That More
Harm Than Good Comes From Them

Electricians Now Declare That More
Harm Than Good Comes From Them.
Says the Philadelphia Record,
"Lightningrods are going out of use.
Why2 Because they are not believed to
be the protection it was once thought
they were"
This was what an electrician told
reporter.
Fifteen years ago the lightning.rod
agent was everywhere in the land, and
more especially at every farmers door.
To day, IL is claimed, their number has
materially decreased, and farmers are
disseminating the use of the rods.
What is your opinion upon the subject
of lightning-rodsP' was asked of Chief
Walker of the City Electrical Department.
"Candidly, in nine cases out OF ten" he
replied II think they are humbugs. !
believe it is fact that more barns are
struck and burned that have lightning
rods on than with them off In the first
place, It is best TO keep electricity as far
away from building as possible. The
object of the lightning rod Is TO attract il.
The rod is supposed to act as q conductor
OF the electrical current to the earth, but
instead of being carried off, the current,
in consequence of faulty construction of
the rod or attachments, is frequently
switched into the building. The end
of the. wire is supposed to be buried
in moist earth the moisture acting
as q good conductor. Without strict
attention the iron becomes oxidized
and rusts off, and then the rod is
worse than nothing. II is a positive
danger under such circumstances, at
tracing the electricity of the atmos-
phere and having no adequate outlet for
1t. Then, again, the same danger arises
when the insulators upon the side of tho
building become defective. The lightning
is attracted from the atmosphere, where
II might have remained but for the rod,
and II is turned loose against the build.
ing on its way TO the earth. If, for in
stance, the attachments on q barn are
poor or worn out the current may be de.
Elected and set fire to the building.
This is no uncommon occurrence In
this city some years ago the rod on
the Belmont Water Works was struck
and it fused. The current flowed on
down and played about the ma
chinery in the liveliest kind of way
A big stone was knocked off the Wash
lngton Monument by lightning. When
the ground contact is good and the light
ming is about to strike building a rod
may be of use, but ! think the rods do
more harm than good. There was q time
when farmers were scared into rodding
their barns and houses, but think they
are getting over that"

THE HIGHEST ON EARTH.
The TIL ousand-Fo Tower to be Built
in Paris.

The HI ouHhnd-Foot Tower to he Built
in Paris.
A recent letter from Paris regarding the
construction of the 1,O0O.foot Eiflel tower
at the Exposition of 1885, says: 1t has
now reached nearly 400 feet and is going
up at the rate of more than six feet day.
Therefore its completion may be looked
for within the next 100 days. II may be
that NJ. Eiffel will slacken work, how
ever, and not finish it so soon. Indeed,
he is apparently dong so even now, for
he is discharging workmen by the hun
dred, until now scarcely more than 200 re-
main. The first story" as it is called,
is something more than 200 feet high, and
will be used for concert halls, bathrooms,
cafes and, perhaps, theatre.
There is n stairway of $40 steps run
ming up through it to the second story.
But there the stairs stop, and those who
wish to go further up must patronize the
lift, or elevator, | suppose it should be
called, since it is to be made and put in
by an American firm. The second story
or section of the tower is some 17j feet
high, and, from the top of 1t, one may
overlook everything in Paris, far above
the Pantheon, the Invalides and Notre
Dame. The view from the summit OF
the completed structure will be simply
bewildering. All the great buildings and
monuments of the city will appear
dwarfed. Even the big exposition build.
ings at the foot of the tower will seem
petty.

A Queer Case.

Clifford Phinney, aged 20 years,
brakeman on the Brooklyn "L' Railroad,
boards with Dewitt O. Carpenter, at No.1l
Rodde Place, Brooklyn. Early yesterday
morning two pistol shots in his room and
cries for help aroused the family Phln-
ney was seated on the side of his bed
with revolver ON one side of him. Two
chambers were discharged The room
was in disorder and the contents of a
trunk strewn about the floor Phinney
said he had been awakened by two men,
one of whom flashed dark lantern in
his face and demanded his money He
grappled with the man, who fired two
shots, one striking Phinney in the left
breast. The men then ran away Much
of Phinney's property, mostly iewelry, is
missing. The police are inclined to doubt
Phinney's statement and think he fired
the shots himself He was removed to the
hospital and physicians say he will die.
The affair occurred in the same neignbor-
hood as the Lyman Weeks tragedy,

"Moustaohe and Imperial" ;"

Although the Chicago Convention is
over at last, the following from the Bos-
ton Globes correspondence of the Goth
may not be without interest:
Walter Z. Phillips and Peter V. Degraw
are the managers of the United Press
fine work in the convention. Both asso.
Citations have reduced convention work to
an exact and mighty rapid science. When
the proceedings begin q man Is told to
follow them for three minutes. When
this period ends another man is given the
task for three more minutes. Mean
while No. is getting hls three minutes
work in shape and delivering il to the
telegraph operator. Under this rule il Is
found, when adjournment comes, that
the report is never more than three min
utes behind. Mr., Phillips and Mr. Degraw
are equally fine looking, and both
are graduates of the telegraph key.
Mr.. Phillips has Professor Morse's
medal for the most rapid work rs n re-
ceiying operator. lie is the founder, the
life and head ofthe United Press Associa-
ton, and in the enjoyment of u generous
prosperity. Mr., Degraw is the Washing
ton manager of the association, and the
man who perfected the service at the
Capital. The United Press headquarters
at the RiChelieu Hotel are palace in
themselves, and would have ruilled the
equammity ofSolomon in the days OF his
greatest glory.
Congressman Amos J. Cummings is
the only statesman now i'm his Country's
service among the 800 newspaper men in
the hall. Mr. Cummings Is arrayed for
business and for comfort, rather than for
posing. lie generally saves his posing
for the readers of the New York Sun, and
daily he daz2les and waters their eyes
with the brilliant and sweeping strokes
of his experienced pen, He wears long
snoreman's flannel shirt and is not on
good terms with ms barber.

A Glass OF Men who Can Pursue Lit
erature for Love OF It.
There is actually, however, class Of
literary men who can and do live in New
York, says Eugene Bassett in the Writer.
The class, l mean, of rich men, who
write for amusement or mere love of the
craft, or who have "hobbes' or special
ties, the very handling of which takes
money out of, instead of putting money
into their pockets. | mean such men, for
instance, as Albert Matthews, James
Grant Wilson, Appleton Morgan, r.
Watts De Puyster, Theodore Roosevelt,
Brander Matthews, @. Hilton Scribner,
Bayard Tuckerman and the like, men,
who all do good work, and who are not,
as Q rule, adverse to pay, but who would
still produce whether the pay came or
not.
OF those who have been named, Mr..
De Puyster confines himself to military
history; Mr.. Morgan, to Shakespeare Mr..
Wilson, to biography-subjects that call
for constant disbursement such as would
more than equal the profits which the
professional writer must have or starve.
suppose for instance, Mr.. De Puyster
spends, when composing, at least $4,000
year on gathering material, and some
$1,000 or $4,000 on his secretaries; and
Mr.. Morgan is printing an edition of
Shakespeare at a cost of $3.50 or $4,000.
Brander Matthews gets 800 from "Scrib-
ner's" or the "Century," and on the
strength of it gives little dinner to his
chums that costs him $500. But while
this work of the unprofessional profes-
sional may serve to keep up New York's
reputation, it unhappily reduces, Just as
unpaid competition must always reduce
the wages of the real workman and bread
winner
