The First Lightning Catcher.
n 1nso Dan,.lIfa

Everybody believes that Franklin was
the inventor and constructor of the first
lightning rod. In this one particular
everybody is mistaken. The first light
ming catcher was not invented by the
great philosopher, but by poor monk of
Seuttenberg, Bohemia, who put up the
first lightning rod on the palace Of the
curator of Preditz, Moravia, June Is,
l154. The name of the inventive monk
was Prohop Dilwiscb. The apparatus was
composed of a pole surmounted by an
iron rod, supporting twelve curved
branches and terminating in a5 many
metallic boxes filed with iron ore and
inclosed by wooden box-like cover,
traversed by twenty-seven iron pointed
rods, the bases of which found resting
place in the ore box. The entire system
of wires was united TO the earth by a
large chain. The enemies of Dilwisch,
Jealous of his success, excited peasants
Of the locality against him. and, under
the pretcxt that his lightning rod was
the cause of the excessive dry weather,
had the rod taken down and the inventor
imprisoned. Years afterwards NJ. Mel
sen used the multiple pointed rod as an
invention OF his own. IS
