1t is not agreeable to be struck by
lightning. Nor is it at all necessary.
There is n sure preventative sure
as it is simple, Inexpensive and always
accessible-a pair of rubbers. If a
woman will simply put on a pair of
rubbers when the lightning begins to
flash and the thunder to roar, and will
stand on the floor so that she touches
nothing else, she will be as safe us if
she were sealed in a glass cage.
Rubber is non-conductor of elec.
tricity, and if the lightning has to go
through sheet of rubber to get at
you, it will leave you alone, aud tabo
something else. In other words, when
you have ON a pair of rubbers, and
not in contact with anything, you are
perfectly insulated.e
This is not theory merely; it is n
fact proven by innumerable expert
ences. A pair of rubbers has saved
many a life in thunderstorm.
Only little while ago Horace W.
Folger, of Cambridgeport, Mass, was
on u pilot boat in Boston Harbor,
when a thunderstorm came up. He
was on deck wearing rubber boots,
but steadying himself with one hand
by wire cable from the main topmast.
lightning struck tho topmast,
shiyering it into splinters. Down the
cable went the current. Folger was
knocked unconscious. When he re-
covered he was full of aches and pains,
but he pulled through. If it had not
been for the rubber boots, the cur
rent would have passed entirely
through him. As it was the current
could not get through his boots, SO
it passed down the cable.
1t might be well to add that pair
of rubbers to be effective against
lightning must DO sound aud whole.
Do not put on an old pair with
crack in the toe, because electricity
will get out of very small hole when
it is eornered, aud pair of defective
rubbers will do you no good. New
