PROTECTION FROM LIGHTNING.

A friend whose house hns been hit
by lightning three times In the pus,
five years asked the writer the other
day about the value of lightning rods

matter can be put In nutshell A
lightning rod poorly insulated and i'm.
properly grounded IL worse than no rod
Ut all, for while II attracts IL bolt Of
lightning II In no way protects the
structure on which II Is erected. On
the other hand, n rod properly put up
comes as nenr being complete insur
ance against lightning damage NJ II Is
possible to have. Such an equipment
should be secured from reliable firm
that has Il permanent postofiice address
and put up by one Of their represents
tvcs who understands his business
thoroughly and not from some tramp
who IS chiefly concerned In making n
wnd Of easy money by questionable
