LOSSES BY LIGHTNING
Life and Property Destroyed in This
Country Last Year.
Facts and Figure. Furnished by the
Chief of the Chicago Weather
bureau Valuable Point
crs for Farmers.

Few questions are of greater interest,
whether considered from practical or
theoretical standpoint, than the mani
fcstations of energy in lightning dis
charges. The practical side OF the prob
lem appeals directly 10 a great portion
Of the population, but more especially
to the people who live in the country
and the smaller towns aud villages.
by the practical side is meant a work
ing knowledge of the character of the
lightning flash, the kind Of object most
frequently struck, methods Of protec
ton and the distribution of destructive
flashes both in time and over space,
1t would be OF manifest advantage to
know the precise character OF the or
binary lightning E0sh--whether, for
example, it approNimates condition OF
steady flow or partakes of an oscil-
latory character, i. e., current which
rapidly rCverses its direction. A bet
ter knowledge than we now possess
of the kind OF object most frequently
struck, whether tree, dwelling house or
barn, might be the means of saving
human life. II, for example, certain
trees are more apt 20 be struck 10y light
ming than Others they should ht avoid

derstorm. There are other lines of in
quiry in which greater precision of
methods and devices would yield valu-
able returns.
a little over n year ago the depart
ment of agriculture, through its wealth
er bureau, undertook the collection of
statistics of loss of life and property,
especially in farming communities, by
| lightning. The results of the first
years work and considerable informa-
ton of Il general character are given
in bulletin No. PC of the weather bureau

two parts. The first is largely de
voted TO n discussion of the electriiica-
ton of the atmosphere and the meth
DDS of investigation that have been pur-
sued by different cNperimentCrs, The
! application of the knowledge thus
gained to the construction Of apparatus
for protection from lightning is re-
newod, and, finally, methods of protec-
| ton are discussed and rules for the
erection OF lightning rods are given.
The latter are intended not only for
the guidance Of persons desiring to
cree, rods themselves, but more par
ticularly for those who may contract
with others to DO the wo X for them.
1t is quite essential that every person
who feels the need of lightning rod

a summary OF loss of life and proper
ty in the United States by lightning
during 1895. and, so far as known. dur
ing previous years. The statistics are
not by any means complete. especially
rs regards the loss of live stock by
lightning. The fact of greatest i'm
pC-tance developed thus far in the
inquiry is that about one-third of all
the cases of fatal lightning stroke on
live stock in the fields occurred in the
immediate vicinity of wire fences; in
deed. there is evidence that in some
cases lightning struck the fence at
some distance from the place where
the stock was killed. The statistics. in
complete as they doubtless are. show
that the farmers of the country lost
by lightning alone during 1895 live
stock valued at about $4,000.
During the same time there were
over l.sOO cases of destructive light
ming strokes on buildings causing a
money loss of about one and half
million dollars. Three hurdred and
SiNtN-seven lives We're lost and 494 per.
