81 have just come from Cincinnati, and
that reminds me of story that they
tell in Japan" said in soft lingual accents
Tuesneo Takahashi, of Toxic, who was
seen at the Fifth Avenue.
Cincinnati is in Ohio, and Ohio is also
a Japanese word, meaning Good morn
ing When you go out on a street in
a Japanese village the people you meet
will all say to you Ohio They do not
wait for an introduction. 1t Is considered
courteous to greet strangers thus.
IAN American, whose home was in
Kentucky, but who did business in Gin
cinnati, was travelling in Japan, and was
considerably perpleXed that every one who
met him on the street should accost him
with the word Ohio He was of an old
Kentucky family, and, like, most Ken
tucxians, was proud of the state of his
nativity. The second day in Japan, when
he was met with the same greeting, ne
turned to the interpreter and said:
" What in the name of all that Is mys-
terious makes these Japanese think that
1 came from Ohio? Even If ] did come
from that state would not want to have
1t thrown up to me continually
Before the guide had chance 10 re-
ply a young man passed and again saluted
the American with an Ohio
1.-THE Kentuckian turned on the Jap
anese young man and said:
" See here, sir, you have made slight
mistake 1 am not from Ohio. live
across the river. am a KentuclSian, and
my home is in Covington.' "-LLouisvile

Lightning Rod Conductors.

The subject of conductors for protect
ing buildings from lightning is one up
on which there is much transformation,
and it appears exceedingly difficult to
discover just what position the lightning
conductor occupies as a protector of prop
erty. Lightning rod agents have played
upon the credulity of the public to such
an extent that many scientific men have
declared that lightning rods are of little
or no use whatever. On the other hand
il is conceded by others equally well-in-
formed that when properly put up, the
lightning rod is a valuable protector of
buildings and tall structures especially
brick chimneys. According to Sir Oliver
Lodge, who recently delivered an inter-
esting lecture on the subject in Birming
ham, an error that is frequently made in
the installation of lightning rods is
in using rods of two large cross sec
ton and of two high conductivity He
says that a copper rod is not as
good as an iron rod, for the reason
that a heavy copper rod let's down the
current too quickly and produces shock
or collision because of the electric inertia
or inductive effect; where a copper rod
say a foot thick, would be highly danger
Gus as a lightning conductor, an iron wire
one-tenth inch diameter might be quite
safe and effective. A heavy copper con-
ductor is liable to side flashes, but a light
iron wire allows the flash to leak down
as 1t were. and perhaps fuse 1t with little
perceptible disturbance. A number OF
conductors are better than one, and are
better when made of light iron wire thar
of heavy copper rod. Small iron wire may
be fused and destroyed. it is true, but
this contingency must be met by renewal
In fact the practice advocated would be
very similar to the renewal of electric
fuses and the iron conductor and the
fuse might be said to occupy analogous
positions. When the fuse blows we ex-
pect to renew it, and the same holds true
with the small iron lightning conductor

flee, position she had held several years
Mrs. Louisa Armstrong, so. died Tues
day morning at the home of her daughter
Mrs. Nora Harvey, at North Hinsdale.
The cause of her death was the lnfirmities
incident to old age. Much of the time in
recent years Mrs. Armstrong had passed
in Hinsdale village. where she was well
known. She was constant attendant
of the Calvary Methodist church, Of
which she had been a member many
years. and even wnen the weight of years
might well have kept her at home moth
ing but severe indspostion prevented her
being present at the church services.
Every one will remember her as familiar
figure, bent with age lantern in one hand
and cane in the other as she answered
the call of the bell to attend the evening
meetings. Mrs Armstrong is survived by
two daughters. Mrs. Nora Harvey. at
whose home she died, and Mrs. Albert
Perham of this village. The funeral was
Thursday afternoon at North Hinsdale.
