LIGHTNING PROTECTION
FOR FARM BUILDINGS
Cheap Durable Possible Farmer
Make Himself BY Prof l.. j Smith, Michigan.

The planning of protection for the
Michigan college barns was carried
on with special attention to the needs
of the average farmer along this line.
The aim was for n cheap yet durable
construction, simple enough for the
farmer to make II he has the use of a
forge, drill and set of dies and taps.
If these tools are not accessible that
part of the work in which they would
be used can be done by any black
smith
A half.inch seven strand double
galvanized iron cable was used as the
conductor. The only practical advan-
tage of copper over the iron cable is
in durability, the difference in con-
ductivity being immaterial in light.

will take more time TO put on the
building. The half-inch cable costs
about three cents foot, the three
eighths-inch two cents. However, the
essential thing is to have the cable
heavily galvanized Any hardware
firm can get double galvanized cable
sent them in a few days.
The cable was fastened to the build
ing without insulation by the means OF
three-inch staples placed from "a to 80
inches apart, Two and one-half-inch
staples will do very well If they can
be readily secured Holes were drilled
for the staples by the use of a gimlet
bit and brace, as the staples split the
shingles and ridge boards very easily.
The points, with the exception of
the ones used for chimney protection,
were made from half-inch round iron
rods. They were 36 inches long when
not on cupolas or extending along the
side of the vertical AKA post which
holds the rod supporting the end OF
the hay track. When attached to the
cupola or to the AKA post the points
extend 30 inches above the same. The
upper end is tapered about three
inches to a point, this being done at
the forge and finished with coarse
file, Threads We're cut at the lower
ends of the S6-inch points, the other
lengths being left unthreaded.

What Becomes Of the coke2

A teacher was explaining to her
class the various ways in which gas
is obtained.
Much of the gas we use is ex.
tracted from COAL" she said, "and
after the gas has been taken out, the
coal becomes coke. In some parts OF
this country gas is obtained by
boring deep holes in the ground and
such gas is called natural gas"
Does the natural gas come from
the fires down in the bad placer" in

he has left?"
