Lightning Risk of Mountain obssrva
 tories


 The protection from lightning of buildings on high mountains is a diff ficult problem and when the building Is on deep snow, no protective de- vice yet known can give security, for the reason that snow and frozen soil conduct electricity so poorly that they give no grounding for lightning con ductors.
 Recent instances of mountain obser- vatortes that have been struck sbv lightning with much damage to in struments and danger to occupants have been collected by J. Vallot, a. French physicist. In one case. there was no lightning conductors but the wooden building was sunk into the snow
 One observatory on snow was con nected to a bar rock -earthing 100 yards away by cables, which proved insufficient to carry away the large amount of electricity passing in the lightning
 An example of good protection is the Ooservatoire des Bosses, on Mont Blanc, which has existed thirteen years without suffering from lightning, This has on the roof four mutual yi-connected, multi pointed lightning conductors, each connected with the rock by a quarter-inch iron wire end ing in coil, and the whole building Is encased with thin copper plates. connected to the lightning conductors and to the stovepipe. The whole ar- rangement Is an effective lightnino- proof cage.

1t is suggested that during the ses- sions of these conventions, CT any others that may favor New London, that the merchants and the people generally make a generous display of flags and bunting in honor of their coming. It is essential to the good name of the city that some recognition be made of conventions of. lesser mag nitude than that of the Deeper Wa terways association, for many smaller conventions are sometimes as advan- tageous to the city as one big conven- ton.
 The Catholic Total Abstinence union of Connecticut, with membership in nearly every city and town in the state, and affiliated with national union, is to hold convention in New London, and so is the Connecticut Firemens association, both of which are of importance, and will bring many strangers to the city The dis play of bunting in honor of. these events would not require much effort on the part of the residents and be appreciated by the representatives of these large organizations.

The delegates do not ask and do not expect the city to go to any expense by reason of their pres ence, but the local committees do de- sire some slight token of appreciation that will make the delegates feel that they are welcome The delegates will pay their own bills and the local or ganizations will attend to the enter taining features.
