Calls Attention to
Value of Lightning
Rods as Protection

The attention of the State Insur-
.ance Department was recently
directed to an unsigned article pub
lished in a Maine newspaper entitled
Lightning Rod Has Gone the Way
of the One Horse Shay"
Insurance Commissioner Wilbur
d. Spencer said Tuesday that since
this article is not applicable to Maine
at all, but is misleading, it seems
pressions that may be derived from
it by answering the following ques-
tons:
severe enough to require any pro-
lection, and do metal conductors
provide it?
in the State of Iowa, which is a
particularly good representative area
of disturbing electrical phenomena,
the property losses from lightning
upon unrodded buildings have been
found to be $341,0 and like losses
from the same cause upon the same
number of rodded buildings during
the same period were only $4,464.
From estimates made by the
Maine Insurance Department during
the present year, it has been found
that about 20 per cent. of all farm
buildings in the State are protected
by conductors, some of which have
been in place over 60 years.
For 1922 the total number of
strokes was 239 and the amount of
losses in Maine from natural cleo
trical disturbances was $204,688.
Only five rodded buildings were eff
fected with combined property losses
of $4,000, of which $2,775 was caused
to Il building rodded a great many
years ago and $50 was due to shall
low grounding y-
one loss of SIS upon rodded build
ings, while the total damage done
by lightning for that year aggre-
gated $220.133.
THESE three examples. show that
in spite of the possibility of i'm
proper installation lightning rods
protected perfectly in the first in
stance to 100 per cent, in the second
instance to within four tenths of
100 per cent and in the last instance
to ten housandths of 100 per cent.
"a similar degree OF protection
was found by countrywide in
Commerce of the United States in a
special investigation in 1915 for the
purpose of encouraging people to use
lightning rods as protective de-
vice.
1.-THE number of lives lost from
lightning cannot be accurately de-
termined in Maine, but it must be
conceded that protection for the
buildings provides protection for the
inmates.
"Second-Has popular confidence
been so far destroyed in the eff
fectiveness of lightning conductors
as to diminish installation?
can examination of conditions
proves that such is not the case.

Two Folks Are Much Sur
priSed,

Some things prove not just as they looked,
And e'er you know il you hooked.
-spotty the Turtle.
Up, up, up Spotty the Turtle was
drawn toward the surface of the
Smiling Pool. By this time he was
so tired that he could hardly strug-
gle at all. And he blamed it all to
the worm he held in his mouth and
couldn't let 60 of. What would hap
pen when he reached the surface?
Where would'that worm drag him to?
How he did wish he knew!
Suddenly his head popped out of
water, and he was dragged along on
top, perfectly helpless. That worm
was dragging him straight toward
the bank of the Smiling Pool He
was half way there before he saw
standing on the bank Farmer Browns
Boy
IL spotty hadn't been SO frightened
and could have understood the ex-
preston on Farmer Browns Boys
face I'm sure he would have laughed.
We'll, what do you know about this"
exclaimed Farmer Browns Boy. i've
caught Spotty the Turtle and all the
time thought it was fish that was
on my hook.''
OF course, Spotty didn't understand
this. He didn't understand anything
that had happened. He knew nothing
about fish hooks. He still thought 1t
was the worm that kept such a tight
hold of him. instead of which, of
course, 1t was the hook on the end
OF the line with which Farmer
Browns Boy had been fishing.
Farmer Browns Boy drew Spotty
in to the bank and then stopped over
and picked him up. Then that dread
full pull on Spotty's mouth ceased,
That was a relief, a great relief. But
Spotty was no less frightened than
before. What was this great giant
going to do with him? He drew his
legs and his head into his she'll That
was the only way he had of protect
ing himself. Then he waited for what
would happen next
What did happen was that old pull
on his mouth again. In spite of all
he could do his head was pulled out
of his shell. You poor little chap!"
said Farmer Browns Boy softly. "Of
course you haven't the least idea
