protsotior From lightning.

If the reader is contemplating the erec-
tion Of a lightning protector, these points
may Of service to him:
First--Get good iron or copper con-
ductor Of rod or tape form, preferably the
latter. If copper, have it weigh about six
ounces to the foot; if iron, about two
pounds to the foot.
Second--The nature OF the locality will
determine to great degree the need OF .
rod. In some localities rods are imperative,
in others needless.
Third-The very best ground you can
get is, after all, for some flashes none too
good. Therefore do not imagine that you
can overdo it in making good ground.
Fourth--"If the conductor at any part OF
its course goes near water or gas mains, it
is best to connect it to them. Wherever
one metal ramification approaches another
it is best to connect them metallically."
Fifth-The top of the rod should be
plated or in some way protected from cor
rosion and rust.
Sixth-1ndependent grounds are prefer
able to water and gas mains. t
Seventh-Clusters Of points or groups of
two or three along the ridge rod are recon-
mended.
Eighth--Chain or link conductors are of
little use.
Ninth-Very little faith is to be placed in
the SO called area of protection.
Observation-Disclosures of lightning to the
path of least resistance. Nearly every one
who has written in late years has taken it
for granted that lightning always follows
the path of least resistance. This is not
true.
Eleventh--Any part Of building, under
certain conditions, may be struck whether

preparation for the succeeding days. Ine

their goods as presenta BILE as possible. :
Shortly after one o'clock the, trotting
began. There were three classes on the
