One New Years Day went to visit my cousin

ON A SLIPPERY WALK.

The day before New Years about three years ago
not cold and in the evening seet had been falling
deal colder the seet had frozen making the side
walks very slippery Early in the morning went to the
postofice for the mail All went well the way up,
but not SO on the way back had just stepped the
sidewalk when kapump! down went. Several people
fall and all began to laugh but did not give
even the ghost Of smile. When my feet
again walked off if nothing had happened. I had
not gone far before the same thing happened again
do not think very many people fall this time but
hurt myself which thought than having people
laugh at The rest of the way home did not walk
the sidewalk but walked where there so the
accident should not befan again. The rest OF
the day my limbs very and could not go out
and could hardly walk around the Such thing
has happened since and all other New Years
have been enjoyable. Carl Ecklund,

CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM INVESTIGATION
Architecture and Electric
Engineering Blamed for an In
crease In Number of Fires
Caused by Lightning.

H. w. Spang Of New York city, an expert
on the subject OF lightning protection, be-
teves that the danger to buildings from
lightning is increasing. In an Interview in
the New York Sun he says
From investigations made by, me since
1858 Of the effects Of lightning discharge.
have found that the area OF the electrical
charge. intensely induced upon the earth.
and with which the atmospheric electricity
principally unites by the lightning dis
charge, varies from about a half mile to
two miles, according to the height and area
of thunder cloud conduCtivity of the sur
face earth, depth Of the underground
water bed and the presence OF underground
water, gas and other metal pipes, railway
tracks, wire fences and overhead and
underground electrical wires.
THE union OF the atmospheric electricity
with that OF the earth is effected by a
series of discharges In rapid succession.
giving rise to the vivid. quivering light,
commonly known as lightning, and also
causing certain phenomena which are err
roneously regarded as freaks. The union OF
the atmospheric electricity with that of the
earth by a lightning discharge can only be
effected within a great area and not at
a single point or within a small area OF
ments; and I will add that any lightning
theory based upon a laboratory experiment
is not worth the least consideration.
For ages nature has been clearly indi-
eating its electrical actions and wants.
and the unsatisfactory state Of the light
ming protection art is due TO the neglect or
inability OF scientists and electricians prop
erly to investigate and interpret natural
electrical phenomena.
Reference was made by Greek writer's
more than 1900 years ago to the attraction
of lightning discharges for great oak and
other trees with outstretching branches
and dense foliage. Similar phenomena
were observed by Faraday, Henry and
other eminent scientists OF the last CEN
tury, and these phenomena were not fully
understood by them.
