Lightning ArreSfer For Radio Sets
BY WILLIAM G. II. FINCH

International News Service Radio Expert
(Copyright, 1929. Inter. News service)
NEW YORK--With the approach
of tho warm season the matter OF
protecting your radio instrument
against the danger Of being struck
by lightning becomes an important
problem.
1t is the common idea that an an
tenna. even IL used only for receiv-
ing purposes, should be connected
TO the ground at the approach OF n
thunder storm to provide q path for
the lightning should II strike the
antenna. Under tho new existing
rules OF the National Board OF Fire
underwriters IL Is permissible to use
"a lightning arrester to accomplish
this end.
This arrester consists OF n small
coil of bare copper wire. wound on
"a porceloin form. Adjacent to this
coil Is a metal plate which has vary
ing dimensions. There are two small
metal plates connected 20 the ends
Of the coil and uarallel to the plate.
The distance between these two
small plates and the ground plate Is
small and tapering,
Currents Interesting.
1t Is interesting 10 1OllOW inc re-
suit from heavy charge of cleo
tricity. az. for instance. lightning
striking nearby introduces n current
In the antenna and Immediately
creates spark between the two
plates If the charge is sufficiently
strong the spark may flare out at
the ends and jump between the cen-
ter convolutions OF the coil and the
common ground plate. A heavier
charge will take in more convolu-
tions Of the coil. Lightning striking
very close to the arrester will inetan-
taueously carry off 90 the ground
any induced current on the receiv-
ing antenna, thereby protecting life
and property from this hazard.
Tho method of connecting this
| lightning arrester is shown in the
accompanying diagram. II is so
simple that an explanation is need

This case results from a complaint

consisting in the confinement OF cat
tie awaiting slaughter In exposed
and muddy corrals, located adjacent
10 the slaughter house In what is
commonly called "Butchertown" in

with n view toward gaining more
complete information regarding the
conditions resulting in this arrest,
the Judge of this department, in
company with the learned Judge OF
Department No. and counsel for
the prosecution and defense, visited
the scene OF the alleged fnfraction OF
the law. The corrals were pointed
out. being on the side of the Ions
railway trestle which crosses the
lslais creek marsh.
There is no question that the
nature of the ground. its great de-
preston and the constant moiling OF
thousands of cattle on the route 10
slaughter. added to the recent rains
had produced very miry surface con-
ditions, somewhat alleviated in
places by the liberal application OF
rice husks. These husks, however
appear to have a tendency to quickly
assimilate and amalgamate them
selves in a conglomerate mass, SO
that their presence and usefulness
appear to be quickly lost.
