The report OF Prof. Mohn, OF Chris
tiania, Norway, who was employed to
make an investigation or the protection
afforded TO buildings by lightning rods,
shows that lighthouses, telegraph sta
tiOns and other exposed buildings,
which were provided with conductors,
did not by far suffer rs much as
churches, which, in most cases, were
unprotected. 1t appears, in tact, that
or about hundred churches reported
to have been struck by lightning. only
three were provided with conductors;
that of these three the first had a con-
ductOr in good order, and the building
was uninJured; the second had a con-
ductOr of zinc wire, which melted, and
Of course left the structure without
protection; the third had 8 wire which
was rusty where it joined the earth,
and the church was burned. More
than one-half the number of churches
struck were totally destroyed.

as the thickness is always some multiple
