Lightning Rods
Save Much Loss

In 1852 Benjamin Franklin, during q
thunderstorm, sent up his historic kite.
This kite was provided with a pointed
wire at the top and as soon as the kite
string became wet, he succeeded in
drawing ordinary electric sparks from
q key attached to the lower end. This
experiment demonstrated for the first
time, that thunder clouds carry ordina-
ry electrical charges, which may be
drawn from them by points. 1t show
ed also that lightning is nothing but a
huge electric spark.
The lightning flash is due to the dis
charge of cloud condenser; in this
case the potential of the cloud becomes
so enormous that the air can no longer
withstand the strain, and a charge
passes through it to the earth or to
another cloud producing a spark of
great length and power.
Franklin applied this discovery to
the invention of the lightning rod
Men OF science agree that absolute i'm
munity from lightning danger is un-
attainable. They also agree and ex-
perience has demonstrated, that good
lightning rod is a great protection
Experience also teaches, that owing to
the net work of electric wires, and
metal used in the construction of
buildings in cities, the chances of be-
ing struck by lightning are much great
er in the country than in the cities.
The way in which the rod discharges
the cloud and protects the building is
as follows: AS the charged cloud ap-
proaehes the building, it induces an
opposite charge in the rod. This in
duced charge escapes rapidly and
qnietly from the sharp point and thus
neutralizes- the charge of the cloud,
preventing the accumulation Of a
charge In the neighborhood of the
building.
The lower end Of the lightning rod
should be buried deep enough SO that
IL will always be surrounded by moist
earth, since dry earth Is a poor CON
ductor. III
It will be seen therefore, that light.
ming rods protect buildings, not be-
cause they conduct the lightning To
the building but because they prevent
the formation OF powerful charges N
the neighborhood Of the buildings on
which they are placed. rs

MORE VICTORIES
OVER THE TURKS
Continued Fighting Along Turk
ish Frontier.
IHE PRISONERS MASSACRED.
Montenegrins Capture Forts That
Give Them Control OF the Road
To soutari - skirmishes
On Frontier.

London.-With the fighting on the
Turkish frontiers steadily increasing
and Montenegro winning decisive vic
tories, which will have the effect of
greatly encouraging the other Balkan
States, the war situation is more seri-
GUS now than at any time since the
beginning of hostilities. The Monte
negrins have won more victories over
the Turks.
Unconirmed dispatches were re-
ceived here, saying that Servia and
Bulgaria had declared war. Why
these countries are withholding their
proclamations is a mystery in diplo-
matte circles, but this failure to act is
not construed as indicating any desire
for peace.
Official circles were stirred by the
|; direct prediction of European con-
f1ict made at st. Petersburg by the
Russian minister of war, NJ Sucholli-
noff, who said:
"The Balkan outbreak is the be-
ginning of a great European clash,
into which Russia inevitably will be
drawn
The Montenegrins added the cap
ture of Turkish forts at Tuki to their
victories at Podgoritza and Detchitch
Mountain. The capture of the forts
gives the Montenegrins control of the
road to the town of Scutari. 1t was
reported that the Montenegrins had
taken Scutari itself, but this was re-
garded as an error.
The fighting, according to dis
patches, has developed into the worst
kind of guerilla warfare. Prisoners
are being massacred by both sides and
non-combatants are being slain with
out discrimination
Several skirmishes are reported
from points along the Turko-Bul-
garian and Turko-Servian frontiers
lurking is bringing 100000 Asiatic
troops to Constantinople, which will
augment her European force to about
100000 men.
The Montenegro Consul General
here received the following official
message, from Cettinje:
Military operations continue sue
cessful Several important Turkish
positions taken already. Army adj
vancing."
Unless Turkish reinforcements have
reached Scutari it is considered prob
able that that city will soon fall into
the hands of the Montenegrins. While
the way there has been opened, how
ever, it is pointed out that it may not
be passed without serious fighting. as
the Albanian tribesmen in the
vicinity have been aroused by Turk
ish emissaries and are expected to
join the Ottoman troops. ,.

CROPS SUFFER IN
GREAT BRITAIN
Will Be Necessary to Import
From This Country.
STORMS CAUSED DAMAGE.
Storms Have Caused Great Damage
To Crops In Number Of
Foreign Countries, Ac-
cording To Reports.

Washington.-Sto Storms have caused
great damage to crops in a number Of
foreign countries, according to reports
to the Department of Agriculture, and
ip some instances material importa-
tions from this country will be neces-
sary to meet the deficiency Great
Britain particularly suffered and there
the harvest has been one of the most
unsatisfactory in many years in quail
ity, quantity, expense and difficulty of
reaping.
Spoiled hay lies upon thousands Of
acres of British saturated meadows,
vast expanses of standing grain have
been beaten down by gales, many
fields of shocked wheat are soaked
with rain and root crops are rank with
weeds. The barley crop has been
partly ruined; the oat crop has de-
Perforated more than any other cereal,
with below-average yield; potatoes
have been blighted and hops alone
seem to promise almost full average
yield. Hay suffered most.
In Canada a deficiency of oyer 81
100000 bushels of winter wheat is
ascribed almost entirely to the rigors
of winter and the quality Of large
proportion of the Ontario 1912 crop
has been materially impaired by wet
harvest weather Official indications
point to slight decrease in the Cana
dian winter wheat yield. Rye produc-
ton is estimated at 3,136,000 bushels,
against 2,694,000 bushels last year.
The oat production is estimated at al
most 29,00O,00O bushels greater than
last year Canadian hay and clover
yielded 100000 tons less in 1912 than
was figured in the preliminary esti-
mate for 1911 Canadian alfalfa total
estimated production attained 177,300
tons, compared with 227,900 pre-
liminary last year.
While the unusually inclement
weather in France may not have seri-
ously diminished the grain yield there
as whole, the quality has been adj
versely affected. AS the French con-
sumption requires over 100000
bushels of wheat, and the carry over
from last year is exceptionally small,
the official prediction is that cit would
seem that rather important imports
may again be necessary the coming
season
Barley is satisfactory In quantity in
France, but extensive discoloration
may make the supply Of good brewing
sorts scanty. Rye, with $4,000 acres
greater area in France, yields almost
51,000,000 bushels this year, compared
with almost 46,00O,00O bushels in 1911.
Oats suffered seriously there from rain
in September.

mine was connected by wire with an

SEEK SUNREN CITIES
English Expedition to Search fol
Lost Continent.
Coast of Yucatan the Scene Of the op-
erstions, and Result May BE the
Discovery Of the Much
Discussed Atlantis.

I-
London.- Yet another party of treas
| uFe hunters has sailed from England
This time the search is for no paltry
hoard hidden by an old time pirate,
nor for mere million or two of glden
doubloons sunk in some Spanish gal
leon. This latest expedition is to go
diving for a lost continent, Atlantis
/ perhaps, and salvage the countless
millions worth of gold and gems and
art treasures of the sunken cities of a
region as large as all Europe.
At the head of the expedition H is
Bernard Meekham, an English explor-
err. His plans include the employment
of a huge floating dry dock, at least
a dozen submarines for work on the
sea bottom and hundred or more ex-
pert divers.
For nearly hundred years, says
Meekham, Yucatan fishermen have
been bringing up from the waters
along the coast beautifully carved
stones, vases and small objects of
gold and silver These fishermen are
Maya Indians, who believes themselves
to be the descendants of once
mighty race They hold these treas
ures of the deep as sacred and when
asked where they get them reply that
they have been given them by their
forefathers.
The reports Of these finds led Meek
ham to explore the ruined cities OF

convinced of the existence of once
populous and rich country, swallowed

First of all, engineers and investi-
gators were sent to Yucatan. Their
reports showed that the country mark
ed for exploitation had apparently
sunk over an immense irregular land
surface stretching along the twentieth
parallel and breaking away from what
is now the northern coast of South
America and the eastern coast of Cen
trail America. Further observations
showed that the temples, palaces and
houseg which formed the cities of this
lost country were in far better condi-
Yucatan and Guatemala. Several
valuable objects of gold and silver ems
crusted with jewels and recovered by
the crude methods necessarily en-
ployed by the searchers made it prac-
ticaily certain that the inhabitants of
the doomed land had not had time to
escape with their wealth before the
final catastrope.
These discoveries, together with the
traces found in the buried cities of
Yucatan of a once powerful and en-,
lightened race, indicate wonderful
civilization that was iR existence long
before the days Of Egypt or Babylon.
Even when the Spanish conquista-
dores invaded Yucatan these mysteri.

cities. These submarines of the curl
