LIGHTNING PROTECTION.

In order to put the mark OF off,
cial and scientific sanction on lightning
protection methods. there was recent
~ appointed. through the collabcra-
ton Of the Bureau Of Standards. the
Weather Bureau and the American
Institute OF Electrical Engineers, a
committee 10 prepare a code and 10
institute foOl-proof methods and APP
planes for protection against
lightning. There are practical
methods, practices and appliances for
protecting buildings against lightning.
but because Of INSCRIPTIONS agents
who a score or mere years ago sue
ceeded in selling equipment that did
not protect. virtually all methods and
equipment came into disrepute among
farmers and others.
Progress has already been made BIZ
the committee in the solution Ct this

principles have been made knowS to
interested scientists and workers. IL
Is hoped that the work Of this COM
