after which he borrowed some more

DIVORCES IN AUSTRALIA.
Average Far Below That Reached in
Western Country-More Nu-
merous, However. {.

Divorces In the Australian
states, says United States Con-
sui Cooling, at New Castle, New
South Wales, are more numerous
than in most of the countries OF
the world, though the average. is
far below that reached in the
United States. The number is
particularly large in Victoria and
New South Wales, where the IA
cilities for procuring divorces are
greater than they are in the other
states. Since the passage. Of the
Shells act of 1890, which made de-
sertiOn for three years a ground
for divorce in Victoria, divorces :
have averaged over 100 per an
mum, the greatest number being
1S1 in 1902, and the lowest IS in
1895. The total for the period Of
1S91-19O3 was 1850, and the av.
erage per 10000 marriages for the
period 1S9619O2 was 1854.
In countries where divorce laws
are in force this record is Onlys sur.
passed by those of Germany, 1875;
France, $50; Roumania, 204;
Switzerland, 432; and the United
States, 612 divorces for every IL.
600 marriages.
In New South Wales the figures
are much higher than they are.in
Victoria. An act similar 10 the
Victorian measure came into
force in New South Wales in 1899,
and the number of divorce DEGREES
at once showed an increase-an
almost alarming increase. in the
quinquennial period 1S91-1s96 the
number of divorces granted in
New South Wales was no fewer
than 1,0S7, against 2l2 for the pc
Rod Immediately preceding it.
This total gives an average Of
1923 divorces per 10000 mar
riages, which is much more than
double the average in Victoria
during the same years, and rs ex.
ceeded only by those for Switzer-
land and the United States. In
the period of 1S96-19O2 the number
of divorces granted in New South
Wales was 1,675. an average Of
2GS.4 per 10000 marriages, and the.
third greatest among all countries
where divorces are in force.

NO MORE LIGHTNING RODS,

Ont of Favor, Though Still Credited
with Slight Value.
Lightning rods have fallen into deep
disfavor 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
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 diminution of the danger
Of lighting worth securing at some ex-
pense in money and a good deal of
care, the weather bureau offers infor-
nation and advice prepared for it by
Professor w. S. Franklin, of Lehigh
University.
The first desideratum is what the
electricians call a good ground" -
that is, close and permanent connec-
ton with large mass Of high cleo
trical conductivity, like damp soil or
an extensive system of metallic pipes.
The lightning rod itself should be
wide band, a thin-walled tube or wire
cable, rather than a solid wire, for so
is the conductivity Of given amount
of metal largely increased. And of
extreme importance is it that the
course of the rod to the ground should
be as short and straight as possible.
If the pathway provided for the
'EhnIt" he devious the imnatipDt mos.
senger from-or .to-the clouds will
not follow 1t, no matter how much is
spent for glass or other insulators,
while If the path be straight the insu-
lators are needless for any charge the
rod can carry.
What happens when BOD light
ming rod is put to test is thus described
by a man who went through the expe-
rience at a mountain hotel in this
State: II was standing on the piazza
when the most tremendous shock or
conclusion conceivable took place.

bitter taste in the mouth, a violent
