Call it what you will, not one in
twenty understand the word used to de-
scribe it, but it is the practice of in
dulging feelings and actions, which
would make an animal blush to speak

be guilty. 1t is the result of lust, yet

mentary pleasure of this practice re-

Now that the holidays festivities are
over, when our thoughts were rightly
and appropriately turned to the season
and its lessons we will resum the topic
begun few week ago.
Continuing where | left off in my
last. let me say. From its effects you
are not free IN life, for the bitter reap
ing of the fruits of misery is sure to
follow such wretched sowing. 1t may
not, it does not produce a wreck at
once but its inroads are so invidious
that there is but one end for those ad-
dicted to the vice. Nor does it mitigate
the thing to know it is so common, it
only necessitates immediate warning
and earnest effort to correct the evil
and do what we can to rescue those al
ready caught in this snare of the devil.

There are a number of types Of light
ming, the most common forms being
the "forked stroke" band lightning,
heat lightning and sheet lightning.
The last two forms Of lightning are so
remote from the place where they are
observed that they are perfectly HARM
less. Both the forked and band light
ming are extremely dangerous forms.
The dangers from lightning may bs
classified as: % Dangers to person;
(2) Dangers to property In almost
every case the danger to person is lin
tied to shock which may result in in
jury or death. Danger to property in
cludes the injury or death to livestock
as a result of shock, or destruction Of
buildings, trees. etc, either shattered
or set on fire.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1917-01-11
Wise Precautions.

Statistics show that many persons
have been injured by lightning in open
fields, especially on hills towards
which the storm was approaching.
The only safe thing to do under such
conditions is to find a dry depression
in the ground and to lie down until
the storm has passed. 1t is dangerous
to take shelter in a thunderstorm I'M
der tree or small group of trees;
lightning striking the trees may be
diverted from the tree trunk through
the persons body to the ground or
falling limbs may injure him. If there
Is a tree or small group of trees in an
open field, it IS safer to take Up
position near the trees but not under
them, because lightning is more liable
to strike tall trees, which act like
lightning rods, than the person A
person should take refuge in a build
ing before the storm commences and
avoid crossing an open field while the
storm is passing
' 1t is very dangerous to take shelter,
during storm, under a metal roof
which is not thoroughly connected to
the ground by wires or pipes. Any
building, such as a dwelling house or
barn, is not entirely safe shelter I'M
less it contains some well grounded
metal extending above the roof. In
unprotected buildings the most dan
gerous places to occupy during
storm are near chimneys, fireplaces,
and the walls

Protection To Buildings.

'StNSN'Si' ~ 0ulQln9Ss
Protection from lightning does not
consist in preventing the building
from being struck, but in providing
an easy path for the discharge to the
ground. lightning rods may be made
of iron or copper; but, on account of
the rapid cOrrosion of iron exposed to
the weather, it is probably cheaper in
the end to use copper Rods should
be placed from to u feet apart
along the ridge of the roof and one rod
should be placed near each chimney.
Rods near chimneys should project
two or three feet above them and
other rods should project at least three
feet above the ridge All rods should
be fastened to the roof with short
heavy screws, or bolts. Probably the
best form of metallic connection be-
tween the rods and the ground is Z
loosely woven wire cable OF small cop
per wires. The cross-section of the
wires in the cable should be about
equal to that of a solid wire three
eighths of an inch In diameter. The
copper cable should be in one con-
tinuous piece, from one ground con-
nection near corner of the building
to the roof and down the diagonaly
opposite corner to another ground con-
nection. The cable should be carried
from the first ground up the side of
the building near a corner, along the
cornice to the ridge, along the ridge,
down the opposite cOTnice and down
the corner to the second ground The
cable should be fastened to the rods
on the roof with special metallic
clamps; and to the building with spe-
cial forms of clamping devices or
ordinary pipe straps, the clamps or
straps being secured with short, heavy
nails or screws. No sharp bends
should be made in the cable and it
should be protected from mechanical
injury by mailing strip of board or
molding over the cable from the
ground line to a height of about six
feet All spouting and any pipes, such
as ventilators, projecting above the
roof should be connected metallically
to the cable. Do not use insulators
anywhere in connection with lightning
rods. With an L-shaped building, it
is wise to connect a third ground to
the system at the angle of the L.
Proper Grounding.
By grounding is meant the best cleo
trically conducting ground connection
to be found near the building which is
to be protected. Probably the best
ground is a continuous extensive
metallic pipe system buried in the
earth, such as a water-pipe system.
The simple process of connecting the
cable to a pipe driven several feet into
the ground is not generally sufficient
grounding. If an extensive water-pipe
system is not available for grounding,
a pit two to three feet in diameter
should be dug down to permanent
moist earth. The ground cone or
plate, to which the cable is secured,
should be buried in the pit and sur
rounded with coke or charcoal to a
depth Of from one to two feet. The pit
should then be filled in with earth to
the ground level. Soil saturated with
stable drainage MAKES an excellent
ground, but possesses the disadvan-
tapa of pOrrOdiDo the orOund Dlata

houses and three garages. and has
over thirty branches in country towns,
with a membership of over four thou

many needs, however, which cannot
be met by the devoted souls who are
ministering to relieve what suffering
they can, and Mrs. Fedden, in Coop

Americans for more help. The COM

cases of rubber, hot water bottles,

Before Helen had taken Mrs. Trav-
ers into the guest room and had made
her feel at home she was sure that for
once Warren had proposed entertain
ing woman who was interesting. 1t
was not that Mrs. Travers possessed
any qualities that Helen's more intor-
esting friends possessed, but she was
sweet and retiring, and, most of all,
sympathetic.
Helen felt that unlike entertaining
Frances, this being pleasant to Mrs.
Travers was a pleasure. With Frances
Helen was compelled 10 stifie her de-
sire TO talk about ordinary domestic
occurrences. This she occasionally
liked TO do. but 1t became tiresone
30 talk indefinitely about the things
that Frances was interested in. Helen
knew that she could not hope to ever
rival Frances in her particular field,
not even In conversing about 1t, but
with Mrs. Travers 1t was different.
Mrs. Travers had two small chill
dren, ono little girl about Winifreds
age, and she was eager to know about
winifred's advancement, her studies,
her homo discipline and every thing
in short that Helen was eager to talk
about, BY the time that the two
women went out TO dinner, they had
already discovered a great many
points In common.
Helen was her own natural self
during the meal. She had never felt
SO completely surprised and pleased
az she was with Mrs. Travers. She
actually looked forward to pleasant
evening. but 1t wasn't until they were
all settled in the theater that Helen
thought OF telling Mrs. Travers about
the thing that so disturbed her.
Helen had almost forgotten that
Warren had almost refused to take
her to zee The Lamp" she had for
gotten everything unpleasant in the
genuine pleasure of the occasion.
