TO GET PROTECTION
FROM LIGHTNING
PROF. e. s. kEENE or THE A. C.
DISCUSSES METHODS or PRO-
TEcTINo SHEET METAL ROOF,
WELL GROUNDED WITH WIRES
POSITIVELY LIGHTNING PROOF.

e. c. Keene, professor Of physics a.
the A. G. in a recent bulletin says:
Protection from lightning is a sub
| ject that recurs with the coming oi
/ each springtime. In the violence of ar
atmospheric electric disturbance, &C.
| companied by the we-inspirinr
flashes OF lightning so common with
the thunderstorms OF the northwest
there are few who have not desired
the protection of a lightning proof
shelter.
The probability of an Individual
building being struck by lightning Il
really very slight but there Is always
a possibility OF such an occurrence
and also that the stroke might be at
tended by considerable violence: more
than that the building might take
| fire.
That lightning rods are real pro-
lection 10 buildings from lightning has
been proven so many times that their
value is no longer questioned, but the
possibility az obtaining experimental
data is so limited that definite rules
for the establishment Of the rods and
conductors have never been formulate
ed. For many years lightning rods
were looked upon with suspicion in
this country because their sale for a
| considerable period was used as a
means to defraud the unwary.
The formation OF lightning is very
imperfectly understood but experience
with its vagaries and a knowledge of
the laws of high-tension electric cur
rents has established a fairly good un-
Outstanding Of the methods Of con-
structing lightning conductors for all
ordinary discharges. 1t is very well
known that lightning is the discharge
of large amount Of electricity in a
very short space OF time and that
whatever affords 1t a passage to the
earth is apt to be badly damaged, un-
less the vehicle happens to be good
conductor Of electricity and Of SUM-
cient size to transmit the amount of
electric energy the dash contains; I'm
which case 1t passes away, doing no
damage at all.
AS a storm develops, the electrically
charged clouds pass over the earth
and when the electrical intensity be-
comes great enough to break down the
resistance Of the intervening air, the
resulting discharge will pass into the
earth by the most convenient path.
This is commonly some high object OF
the landscape, building, pole,
tree or any other object that extends
UP from the earth. If the object is a
conductor of electricity and connected
with the earth, the lightning will pass
into the ground without the least
damage being done, but If 1t Is not a
good conductor, the havoc that is
wrought in an insant is something APP
palling.
Buildings with metallic roofs that are
properly connected with the earth are
far better protectors from lightning
than could be given from rods. Build
ings that are completely covered with
sheet metal and well connected with

Victims Promised 100 Per Cent
Profit on Secret Banknote Issue.

Washington, June IA new get-rich-
quick scheme which rivals some of the
classic swindles of recent years for its
ingenuity is being successfully operated
in some of the Pacific Coast states. Its
trail is said to reach as far East as New
York.
Prospective victims are told that the
United States government is short of
money. and that to avert financial
panic the Treasury is quietly floating an
immense issue Of national bank notes
II is represented that a coterie Of New
York fnanciers have undertaken to
underwrite the issue. which is offered TO
victims on the basis Of 80 per cent
Secret Service men say the swindlers
usually exhibit genuine 81 national

Several citizens of Seattle, Wash, are
reported to have paid in sums ranging
from $500 10 81 900 with the expectation
Of receiving double that sum in genuine
national bank notes before next winter.
Secret Service men have found gath
