LIGHTNING ROD INDICATED
Experiments Of Sir Oliver Lodgs Prove
= That Copper Conductors Attract
Z ~ the Destructive Bolts,

., Unless some inventive genius comes
forward with Z method by which a wet
string may be made to do service as
lightning rod the demonstrations recent
,ly given by Sir Oliver Lodge before the
London Institute Of Architects NAV
eventually lead to the restoration OF
the highly profitable times Of the lightn-
ing rod agent His demonstrations &c
to show that this gentleman of smooth
language was far from being mistaken
in his statements that his copper tipped
rods would draw the electric bolts from
their course Of destruction. The trou-
BILE was that they were too good. In his
experiments he used three different SUBJ
stances as conductors-copper, iron and
a wet string. While copper was the most
intense and rapid conductor, it produced
sharp crack at the flash and showed
by the intensity of it's action that it was
likely to set up a side flash, which in
protected buildings has been the origin
of most of the lightning accidents which
have resulted in the loss of faith on the
part of the people in the veracity of the
much maligned lightning rod man. Iron
took the bolt with less noise and the wet
string with hardly any, yet the latter was
efficient in protecting the two other con-
ductors. Wet string is, of course, impos-
s1ble in practice. but Sir Oliver main
tanned that iron was quite as efficient
conductor as copper and far more safe,
in so far as it did away with the side flash.
His conclusion was the trial showed that
copper as lightning conductor should
be dismissed with costs. Should it be
possible to convince the American house
holders Of the correctness Of his views.
the practical outcome of the demonstra-
tion may be the revival of the lightning
rod industry, with iron as a substitute
for copper.

NOT CAUSED. BY FISH: /; i!
OBSERVATION OF DR.. TURNER
REGARDING 1EPRosY. \: i:
Results Of His Investigations Among
Patients in South Africa-Be-
ueves Injection II Due
to Some Vermin.

Leprosy must now be added to the
other scourges which afflict South Az
RIGA. Until recently the extent to
which this disease was prevalent In
South Africa was little known The
fact that it existed in the Transvaal
was practically quite unknown, yet
DR.. Hurner, the health officer of the
Transvaal, reports that whereas there
were 100 cases in his charge in 1895
there are now over 200. Dr. Turner
adds the remarkable fact that no one
knows how many lepers there are in
the Transvaal. He says that medical
officer who had been in charge of the
the matter asserted that there were at
least 5000 in 1900.
The disease is defying the most
heroic efforts at its determination In
Cape Colony, while it is also spreading
in Basutoland and elsewhere. The
worst afflicted are the Hottentots; the
Kaftirs, with the exception of the Eu-
ropeans, being the least affected.
Prof. Jonathan Hutchinson's theory
that eating fish, especially cured, is
the chief cause of the disease has been
fully set forth. His arguments and
statistics are cogent, but hitherto have
found little support: Dr. Turner, as
the result Of most careful investiga-
ton, differs absolutely from DR..
Hutchinson.
Official returns show that 10 per
cent. of the total amount of fish en-
tering the Transvaal goes to Johannes
burg. Nearly all of this is eaten by
whites, but until December there was
not single European in the Johan-
nesburg leper hospital. Then a man
who was born in Europe was admitted.
He was member Of large family,
all OF whom are living in the Trans
vaal. None of the others is a leper
In DR.. Turner's opinion, his disease
was clearly the result of contagion, as
he habitually associated with a leper
OF DR.. Turner's 210 patients, "A per
cent. had eaten fish, only II per cent
of which was cured fish. Among the
white lepers 96 per cent. had eaten
fish, As per cent. of which was cured
fish. Among the colored patients, who
made up four-fifths of the total, only
~ per cent ever tasted fish, and only
ten had eaten cured fish.
DR.. Turner is convinced that conta-
gion is the most usual means. of the
spread of leprosy. He treated few
cases in which it was possible to asser.
that its origin was hereditary, but
practically none in which contegion
could be EXCLUDED ana SeVerdi wn1Cn
He believes 1t will eventually BE-
proved that some vermin Is the cause
OF the infection.

SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.
Mont Pelee Celebrates Anniversary of
Awful Catastrophe with An
other Eruption.

According to a letter written by a
young girl resident in Rosseau, Island Of
Dominica, to q friend at New Haven,
Conn.,, the volcano Mont Pelee, in Mar
Unique. on May 8 last, by a singular
coincidence, observed the anniversary
OF the catastrophe, May 8, 1902, when
10000 lives were lost and the city of
st. Pierre destroyed, by again bursting
into active eruption. No mention is
made Of any loss of life.
The letter states that there was a
very active eruption on Sunday, May 8.
There was an immense outburst of
smoke and cinders, and the central
cone within the crater appears to have
been entirely elected -.
Mont Pelee is visible from Domini-
ca; At the: same: time there was some
sngne ~vu1canU u1srurDauces at :Guada-
lope island, and the boiling lake in a
crater at Dominica was unusually aei-
tated."
1t awae recalled here that the disturb
ance o{ crater lakes and SLIGHT erup-
tions: for several days before the tre-
mendous outburst on May 8, 1902, were
premonitory of that disaster and led
Martinique scientist to investigate and
by cipher dispatch warn the govern
or of the island. The warning was
withheld from the public. Both scien-
tist and governor were among those
who lost their lives.
