The products Of combustion rising from

the lightning often prefers to the most
carefully prepared system of vertical con-
ductors. DIR. Hopkins plan Of metal

vents such an occurrence. v.@e.g.

Many valuable stack, supposed to
be protected from the electrical haz.
ard by a system of exterior rods, has
been badly damaged through the fail
ure of its builder to appreciate that
gaseous conductor reaches much
higher, and Is often a better conduct

serve as the chief channel along which
the opposing electricities OF sky and
earth rush to meet each other. On
the model In the George Washington

are firmly attached to the ends Of
the vertical conductors, the descend
