Protection From LIGHTNING.

Sir Oliver Lodge stated that the
problem Of securing protection from
lightning consisted in finding the best
method of dissipating the enormous
energy of the fash, but that it was not
wise to get rid of the energy too quick
ly. A thin iron wire is considered the
best lightning conductor from the cleo
trical point Of view. but it is almost
impossible to protect building from
lightning unless it is completely envel-
oped in metal cage. 1t is by no means
true that a building is safe when pro
vided With conductor reaching up to
the highest part Of the building.

take of mixing up the owning of prop

AS a result Of the adoption of this
attitude such mill corporations as
nave held annual meetings since the
Clayton law took effect have chosen
directors regardless Of the provision
against in%terlocking boards. The Clay

here. but specifies certain procedures
by which interlocking directors may

reinstated they then become liable to
punishment by the courts.
