DIMINISH DANGER.
Telephone Wires Lessen the Vio-
lence of Thunder storms.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Important evidence on the much-mooted
question of the influence of telephone
wires on lightning has been secured by
the German telegraph department. An
inquiry was set on foot with view to as
certaining whether the danger from
lightning was increased or diminished by
the presence of the miles of overhead
wires which make up the network of a
telephone system. The result of the in
qulry has been TO show that the telephone
wires sensibly diminish the violence of
thunder storms and lessen risk from
lightning. A comparison made between
80 towns having a telephone system and
OBJ not so provided showed that the ratio
OF the risk Of damage from lightning was
as to 4.6 in favor of the former, while
the frequency of flashes during thunder
storm was lowered in the proportion of 8
to g.

Question ms to the Duties and RespOn.
abilities to BE Decided.
Trouble has arisen at the New York navy
yard between Commander Srerry, ordnance
officer. and Naval Constructor Bowles, in
charge OF the construction work at the
yard, which has resulted, it is alleged. in
acts of insubordination on the part of Con-
structor Bcwles. That officer was recently
transferred from Norfolk to the New York
yard. The difference Of opinion between
the two officers arose in regard to the plac-
ing of ordnance on the new monitor Terror,
now nearing completion at the yard. Mr..
Bowles wantAd to install the guns and
mounts in one way and Commander Sperry
thought 1t ' ould be better to install them in
another wsy. The matter was laid before
Commodore Sicard. who is in command Of
the yard, and it is understood that he has
sustained the position taken by Commander
Sperry; that the ordnance officer was prop
erly in charge Of the work In question
rather than the naval constructor. AL
though the points involved in the dispute
are not of much consequence, their deter
mination is expected to settle the relative
duties and responsibilities of ordnance OFF,
GERS and naval constructors in ordnance
work at navy yards. Secretary Herbert
has the case before him. and will probably
make his decision in a few days.
