sustained by the limitless volume of

Again the flower shoot cleaves the clod;
Again the grass-spear green's the sod;
Again buds dot the willow rod
The sap released within the tree
Is like prsoned bird set free,
And mounteth upward buoyantly.
Once more at purple evening dream
The tender-voiced, enamored stream
Unto the rush renews its theme.

OF all the growing things on earth
Life springing after death and dirthl

NO MORE LIGHTNING RODS,

Ont of Favor, Though Still Credited
with Slight Value.
Lightning rods have fallen into deep
disfnvor almost every where nova
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
a measurable. though small. amount of
protective power-if properly con-
structed and maintained, as they hard
ly ever are. For those who consider
even a slight dimlnution of the danger
of lighting worth securing at some ex-
pense in money and good deal OF
care. the weather bureau offers infor-
nation and advice prepared for 1t by
Professor W. S. Franklin. Of Lehigh
University.
The first desideratum ia what the
electricians call good ground -
that Is close and permanent cOnnec-
ton with n large mass of high cleo
trical conductivity, like damp soil or
an extensive system of metallic pipes.
The lightning rod itself should be a

cable, rather than solid wire, for 80

OF metal largely Increased. And Of
extreme Importance is 1t that the
course of the rod to the ground should

senger from-or tO-the clouds will
not follow 1t. no matter how much is
spent for glass or other insulators.
while II the path be straight the insu-
lators are needless for any charge the
rod can carry.

1t was at this time that President
Buchanan appointed John Adams Dix

A sentiment 40 loyal and so fear

vacillating government a man and a
patriot had been found. The order Of
Dix became the watchword and the
battle cry Of the Union.
