That street cars would be in opera
ton on the new Mckinley avenue line
by the end Of two weeks was the
opinion Of Manager J. P. Ingle Of the
keokuk Electric company, this morn
ing. The work is being pushed as
rapidly - possible and much Of it
has been done
The car tracks have been laid to
within one block Of the end of the
line and part Of 1t already leveled
up with macadam screenings placed
between the ties. The rest OF the
work Of putting the track In shape Is
being done IS rapidly as possible.
All Of the poles for the wires already
have been set and the extension Of
the wires probably will be started by
Wednesday. Only few days will be
required to do this work. The exact
position Of the three arc lights to be
placed In this district has not yet
been determined. Commissioner Col
Inns has charge Of this matter and
stated today that there had been some
difference Of opinion among the resi-
dents Of the district as to where they
wished to have the lights placed. He
expected to talk the matter over with
them today and settle the location Of
the lights as soon as possible in order
that they might be placed at once.
Quite number Of new houses are
now In process of construction in
this district and many others have
already been completed. Work on
the seventh ward school building Is
being pushed and It is hoped it can
be completed before March. The
brick side walls have been erected
about as high as the center Of the
second story.

Progressive Plaquemines Parish.

The people Of Plaquemines Parish, always
very appreciative of good things, having awak-
ened to the extraordinary advantages brought
to the parish BY the fifty miles Of fine shell
road on the Eastern bank from New Orleans to
the parish court house. Of course part of this
road lies IN the parish Of St. Bernard, which
has long been a leader in the good roads move
ment, but 50 miles Of the road in Plaquemines
Parish completed so miles Of the best shell road
anywhere near New Orleans and making the
longest available automobile route. Various
other shell roads are now under consideration
in the parish and a recent trip down the East
bank from New Orleans to Pointe-a-la-Ha
and thence on the West bank to Buras renews
again the impressions made many years ago
that the Lower Coast, q narrow peninsular,
projecting down into the gulf, with the hissis-
sippi river running threadlike down throlgh its
center, created at the mouth Of the Mississippi
Valley a miniature Florida without the barren
sand reefs and hills Of Florida, but with the
wealth Of fertility brought down by the great
river from the vast valley above and spreading
its alluvial deposits out in the hundreds Of
thousands Of acres of land lying behind our
coast lines of levees of about 200 miles, or say
100 miles on each side Of the river from the
parish line to Port Eads.
On the East bank there are several very fine
looking cane crops and notably that Of Mr.. Og-
den Smith at Scarsdale and the fine cane crop
on W. T. Hardie's Stella plantation, which has
recently been sold to Mr.. Oliver Lvaudais ard
some Of his financial friends. A notable fea-
ture on the Stella plantation is the beautiful
orange orchard SO rapidly developing there. A
number Of fine orange. orchards are growing
higher up in the parish Of st. Bernard and all
the way down to Pointe q Ia Hache new, orch
ards are springing up, making. the Lower Coast
look as well, or even better than it did q half a
century ago; before many Of our planters were
led TO abandon orange culture through seeming
indifference.

west bank, it would seem that
these two ought to be supported
any way, but we have already
noted that many of our cane
growers who formerly made
sugar cane quite a feature Of
their business are manifesting
complete Indifference to that
crop, preferring rice culture and
truck gardening even, though
they also are hazardous and in
volve an immense amount of

pieces as far as possible. Solid round wires
one-quarter to one-half inch in diameter are
best for this purpose. Conductors Of a size
larger than one-fourth inch. however, present
difficulties in handling and installation II. the
rods are solid. 1t then becomes better to use
stranded cables and other similar forms. Long
continuous lengths, ample cross section CON-
bined with fexibility and the ease Of its in
s~tallation over crooked courses render stranded
cables, in general, better than any other form
of conductor available.
Substantial iron points in combination with
copper cables from fve-sixteenths inch in dia-
meter for large important structures form one
of the best possible systems of conductors for
lightning rod construction.
There is no good reason for purchasing other
fanciful forms of cable at materially greater
prices per pound than are asked for standard
makes of cable of approximately the same cross
section.
ca Must lightning rods be connected to
the earth? Answer: Yes; by all means, and
most effectively. Just a few operators in the
lightning rod profession have sought to impose
upon the uninformed a system of ungrounded
lightning rods. Such rods are a menace instead
of a protection. 1t is impracticable to fully
discuss here methods Of making connections to
earth. In general terms the conductor should
be carried down into the earth and away from
the building in a trench or other excavation, so
as to reach and imbed the conductor itself or
plates attached thereto into permanently moist
earth. Connections with water pipes or other
metal work itself connected to earth constitute
good grounds.
80 Are Government buildings provided with
lightning rods? Answer. Many of them, but
naturally not every one.
(9) Does the Government use the material
or the rods or the system Of any particular
agency? Answer: No; there is nothing mys-
ferrous or exceptional about lightning rods. the
material of which they are composed, or their
construction and installation. Suspicion may
well be aroused as to the reliability of those
making extravagant claims Of superiority for
their wares to the exclusion of others.
l0) What is the best arrangement of rods
on a building? Answer: A building complete
ly screened and surrounded BY and enclosed
beneath a cage or network of substantial metal
lie conductors, all properly inter connected and
joined to the earth. would he most effectively
protected from lightning discharges. For or
binary purposes q fat simpler system is ade-
quate. For example, good protection is afford
ed by a conductor running along the ridge of a
building and extending to the earth, either al
the middle of the sides or. preferably, at each
Of the four corners Points should rise above
any prominent features of the building, such as
chimneys or. in the absence of these features,
from the ridge of the roof at intervals, of Is
feet or Whereabouts. Fuller details Of lightning
rod installation are to be found in Farmers
