LIGHTNING RODS
REAL PROTECTION

Lightning rods, with their accom-
panying air terminals and ground con-
nectiOns, when properly installed as
a system on a building or other struc-
ture, give nearly complete protection
from lightning.
Statistics from a state such as
Iowa, where thunderstorms are fire.
quent, show that more than 95 out
of each 100 buildings sustaining fire
losses from lightning were net rOdded.
1t is estimated that about so per cent
of the farm buildings in Iowa are
rodded.
Copper Is Best
Lightning rods, or more properly
lightning conductors, are nearly al
ways made Of copper or heavily gal
~vanized iron or steel, the former gen.
orally in the form Of a stranded cable,
the latter of star cross section twisted
into a long spiral. Copper is some
what the better in durability. Both
kinds Of conductor when correctly in
stalled give satisfactory protection.
Copper conductors should weigh
not less than 8 ounces per foot; iron
not less than 800 pounds per thou
sand feet, or a little over 5 ounces
per foot, says the weather bureau OF
the United States department of ag-
riculture.
Lightning conductors should be at
tached direct to the surface Of {
building without insulators. The all
terminals to protect upward-pointine
parts of the roof should be secured
against overturning by the wind, anC
