Deoadence of Lightning Rod

The manufacture OF lightning rods
seems to be a decaying American in
dustry. One looks in vain for such pro-
tective contrivances on most Of the big
fiuildingf nowadays though, by reason
Of their very size and height, one might
imagine they had special need Tor
some means OF defense against the artil-
lery of the skies. Private dwellings like
wise are nearly always without them.
1t was not thus few years ago.
Wherefore the changer Is it that the
lightning rod has become discreditedF
Well, partly so, perhaps. 1t is doubt
less a good thing in its way, but not so
good as was formerly imagined.
The chief trouble with it seems to be
that, while it will seize moderate-sized
thunderbolt and conduct il safely into
the ground, it is not able to handle a
very big one.
A lightning rod, of course, is nothing
more than an iron rod. Like any other
wire it is able to carry certain amount
Of electricity and no more. II thun-
derbot is above a certain size, so to
speak, the rod cannot hold it, and it
will jump off and do lot of damage,
maybe. 1t is not true, however, as has
often been alleged, that lightning rods
attract the lightning to buildings on
which they are placed, and thus are a
source of danger.
But the important point is that light
ming rods have gone out of use to a
great extent. One seldom sees them
except in rural districts, which still
afford a profitable field to enterprising
agents.
One reason for the change is that tin
roofs take the place of lightning rods,
and are much more serviceable. Con-
nected with the ground as they are by
metal drain pipes they will carry off any
amount of electricity, and are more eff
cient in this way when wet.
The most remarkable lightning rod
in the world protects the great monu-
ment to the Father of his Country at
Washington. More properly speaking,
there are several rods, which pass from
the cap-600 feet downward into well
below water level.
This defensive continuance has often
been severely tested, the monument
having been struck many times. In
the month Of April, 1885, five immense
bolts were seen to flash between pass
ing cloud and the obelisk within 20
minutes, yet no damage was done
though two months later tremendous
stroke slightly cracked one of the stones
near the apex.

ONE MEXICAN REBEL
WHO IS UNRECONS1RUCTED
Zapata Source of Annoyance to the
Government

Mexico City, June l7.-Through a
relay of conferences with President
de Ia Barra. General Reyes and a host
Of commissions from various parts OF
the republic who are seeking political
regeneration for their envirOnS, Fran
cisco |. MaderO has met but one spec
tire of the revolution which worried
him. That was Emilana Zapaat. chief
of the insurrectos in the state of
MoreloS. Tomorrow a mass meeting
of the residents of the state who hap
pen to be in the national capital will
be held to formulate a protest TO Ma
dero against Zapata.
Zapata, erStwhile bandit and com
mander of about LOCO troops in the
vicinity Of Cuernavaca, incurred the
wrath of the people both before the
peace agreement was signed ana
afterward. When the revolution was
in progress his men are alleged to
have held up trains and TO have shot
and robbed innocent passengers.
Since the revolution has ended. atroci-
ties in the vicinity of Cuernavaca are
said 10 have been perpetrated.
The American colony deserted the
place and residents of all classes fear
Zapata's men. When Madero COM
ferred with Zapata at Cuernavaca "A
few days ago he was given to under
stand that some OF Zpata's men were
uncomfortable. Accordingly plan
for mastering them out was intro
duced
Madero tonight refused to discuss
the fact that Zapata is in command
OF rebel forces. though il is believed
his plan in appointing Zapata to the
position was to keep him in an APP
parently responsible post while his
troops are being mustered out.

RULE ON P0W\R &A 
 OF COMMISSION
Important Principle Is Laid Down by
 Interstate Commerce Body.

Washington, Dec. 23.-"Power has not been lodged with the interstate commerce commission to equalfzc economic advantages, to place one market in competition with another or to treat all railroads as a part of the one great whole, to apportion to each certain territory or to requi 'e all to meet upon common basis at all points"
 This important, principle Was said down by the commission today in de- ciding the case of the Ashland (Ohio) Fire Brick company vs. the Southern railway, and other railroads.
 The manufacturers of fire brick along the Ohio river alleged that their freight rates to, cities in the South were unreasonable compared with the rates to the same destinations from St. Louis and other points Of mann- facture. They were not sustained
 From certain Kentucky points the commission found the rates to be un- reasonable and a reduction of oae cent a hundred pounds was ordered.

ARE MEN lNINTERESTED
 IN THEIR WIVES2

In the January Woman's Home Companion, Mary Heaton Worse writes an article entitled "Is the American Man a Failure?' Following is an eX- tract:
 There are thousands of American men who are merely indifferent to
 their women. They are proud of the.,i but supremely uninterested, and ask
 of their wives only to be let alone. Their business is their life; it is thei:
 life after they are married just as tremendous game, and in this country a man has got 10 win or go to the
 wall. It makes no difference whether
 d man is married or bachelor, it is not the women of the country who
 determine if a man must woi~ at the
 great rate of speea al which they , labor is the pace of the country itself which demands it. Our men give generously and indulgently to tiCIl WOHlCIl-IOlhS, tIGy Iiht lO SSC that they have everything in the
 world as the saying is. It pleases their vanity to see their houses we'll appointed and their women we'll dressed; they like the luxury of t for themselves. What is to be expect ed of young girls whose fathers have had no influence in their bringing-up, but have merely paid the bills, - young girls, who have never been taught the uses of money nor any de. tails of any business whatsoever, and whose whole duty in life is to dress with the extreme perfection of which our women are past masters, and to keep in good physical condition and talk amusingly? These are the. pric s of success, success being measured in this country, as elsewhere, i'll terms of marriage and attention
