NO MORE LIGHTNING RODS.

Ont 81 Favor. Though Stiif Credited
with slight Value.
Lightning rods have fallen into deep
disfavor almost every where own
days, but they are valued least by the
hasty people who once valued them
most. and those who really know the
most about them still credit them with
n measurable. though small. amount OF
protective powcr-if properly ron.
structed and maintained, as they hard
ly ever are. For those who consider
wen n slight diminution OF the danger
or lighting worth securing at some ex-
pense In money and a good deal OF
care. the weather bureau offers iRfor-
nation and advice prepared for IL by
Professor w. s. Franklin. OF Lehigh
University.
The first dcsiderntum Is what the
electricians call n good ground -
that i, close and permanent conne
ton with n large mass OF high cleo.
trical c~onductivity, like damp soil or
an extensive system OF metallic pipes.
The lightning rod itself should be n
wide band. n thin-walled tube or a wire
cable. rather than a solid wire, for SO
is the ~conductivlty Of n given amount
OF metal largely increased. And OF
extreme importance Is IL that the
course OF the rod no the ground should
he as short and straight m possible.
II the pathway provided for the
bolt" be devious the impatient mes.
sengcr from-or to-the clouds will
not follow II. no matter how much IL
spent for glass or other in~sulators,
while II the path be straight the insu.
lators are needless for any charge the
rod can carry.
What happens when a good light.
ming rod Is put TO test Is thus described
by a mar who went through tss expo
rlcnce ut n mountain hotel In this
State; ~ was standing on the piazza
when the most tremendous shock or
conclusion conceivable took place. l
had n sudden sun dazzle In the eyes. n
bitter taste In the mouth. n violent
