PROTECT BUILDINGS FROM LIGHTNING
By Prof,
' Protection from lightning la a sub
ject that recurs with the coming of
each, lummer. In the violence of an
atmospheric electric disturbance, ac-
" eompanled by awe-lnsplrlng flashes of
lightning there are few who hare not
desired the protection of a lightning
proof shelter.
: The probability of an Individual
building being; struck by lightning Is
really Tery slight but there Is always
a possibility of such an occurrence
and also that the stroke might be at
tended with considerable Tiolence;
more than that the building might
take fire.
That lightning rods are a real pro
tection to buldings from lightning has
been proven so many times that their
Talue Is no longer questioned, but the
possibility of obtaining experimental
data Is so limited that definite rules
for the establishment of the rods and
, conductors have never been formu
lated. For many years, lightning rods
were looked upon with suspicion In
the country, because their sale for a
considerable period was used as a
means to defraud the unwary.
The formation of lightning Is very
Imperfectly understood but experience
with Its vagaries and a knowledge of
the laws of high-tension electrlo cur
rents has established a fairly good
understanding of the methods of con
structing lightning conductors for all
ordinary discharges. It Is very weU
known that lightning Is the discharge
or a large amount of electricity in a
very short space of time and that
Whatever affords It a passage to the
earth Is apt to be badly damaged, un
less the vehicle happens to be a good
conductor of electricity and of suf
ficient slse to transmit the amount of
eleotrlc energy the flash contains; In
which case it passes away doing no
damage at all.
As a storm develops the electrically
charged clouds pass over the earth
and when the electrical Intensity be
comes great enough to break down
the resistance of the Intervening air,
the resulting discharge will pass into
the earth by the most convenient path.
This Is commonly some high object of
the landscape, a building, a pole, a
tree or any other object that extends
np from the earth. If the object Is a
conductor of electricity and connected
with the earth, the lightning will pass
Into the ground without the least
damage being done but If It Is not a
good conductor, the havoc that Is
wrought In an Instant Is sometimes
appalling.
Buildings with metallic) roofs that
are property connected with the earth
are far better protectors from light
ning than could be given by rods.
Buildings that are completely covered

den and truck farm. In some sections
of the United States cabbage Is exten
sively grown as a farm crop.
According to the last census New
Tork State grew more than 11,000
acres of cabbage; Pennsylvania, nearly
11.000; while Virginia grew about
10,000 acres. The three States men
tioned outrank all others by at least
1.000 acres, Mo adequate estimate
can be placed on the value of this
crop, as It fluctuates very decidedly,
'both In acreage and In price, from

maaes an excellent protector when

It must be remembered that the
ground connection Is a positive neces
sity and too much care cannot be
exercised In Its construction. The
earth is the great reservoir of elec
trical energy and it la always at aero
potential. If a discharge of lightning
can be directed into the moist earth
by a conductor. Its energy is soon
dissipated but the ground connection
must be of considerable area and ex
tend well Into the moist earth. A
piece of galvanised Iron pipe driven
into the ground seven or aiaht rat
makes a good "ground." Large build
ings must have two or more such
"ground." The connecting wires must
be securely fastened to the ground
connections.
In the matter of conducting wires,
the V. 8. Weather Bureau recommends
a number three, galvanised Iron wire
ss amply sufficient In slse for ordinary
lightning protection. If metalllo
downspouts are used as conductors
the connections should be made, with
the "grounds," with rtvlted Joints,
Copper conductors give no better pro
tection than iron If the Iron Is kept
covered to prevent It from rusting.
Wire fences are often the Mnu n
damage by lightning because of the
meinoa or construction. If the fence
wires are grounded the danger from
this cause will disappear. Ground
wires may be made of ordinary fence
wire and should be connected with

The principal points to be observed
In successful potato growing are:
Select a well drained, loamy : son.
Give this the most thorough prepare
tion possible. - Do not expect a soil
that la badly run out to give you good
returns. It takes yean to get a soil
ready for potato growing;
Practice a rotation of crops which
will Inolud clover to torn under.
Keep plenty of humus la the soil to
hold moisture.
Select mature seed of a tested var
iety, free from disease, and from a
field free from blight. , .

Be careful In the use of fresh stable

Do, not attempt to grow potatoes
without spraying. Use Bordeaux mix
ture for blights and -combine with it
some arsenical material to kill "bugs.
Spraying gives an Increased value of
about $S0.00 to the acre.
The spraying of potatoes la often
spoken of as "potato insurance," So
aon t forget to have your potatoes in
sured, in order for spraying to be
effective and successful three things
are fundamental.
1. Spraying at the right time.
1. The use of a mixture of the
proper kind and properly prepared.
I. Thoroughness of the work.
It will be observed too that we
have two classes of enemlea to deal
with, namely: Insects and fungus dla-

plants well covered with materials

the insect or the spore of the fllnmrjo

Stnoe die discovery that mosquitoes
are not only natsancea, but are also
conveyers of malaria, yellow fever and
other diseases, a great deal of remed
ial work has been done by Individuals
and communities, many remedies and
plans of action having been tested on
a large scale. s
. Mosquitoes breed to all . aorta of
places where is to be found the least
standing . watery In pools, springs,
marshy land, . rain barrels, water
tanks, old wells, fountains and orna
mental ponds and every conceivable
place. The writer knows of one In
stanoe where a veritable plague of
moaqnltoee was traced, to a case) of
empty beer bottles allowed to remain
la a, back yard for. soma weeks In
midsummer. . -.
. Search, carefully for all such places
and either abolish the standing water
by carting away chance receptacles, by
turning over vessels, by filling In exca

acles with a film of ' kerosene, sr

Drainage of all swampy ' or low
areas needa no argument This Is a
very Important onslderati on In' the
treatment of breeding places at mos
quitoes. : :-.'tr-r
.While It h obviously beat to abolish
breeding places la the ways . men
tioned, it often happens that it Is not
possible to drain, and at least ss a
temporary expedient It becomes de
sirable to treat the water so as to kill
the mosquito larvae. Many substances
have been tried, and, aside from cer
tain proprietary mixtures, nothing has
given such good results as the use of
oils. Efforts to. find oils that can be
used to better advantage- than petro
leum have failed. Common kerosene

aa fuel oil, la the most satisfactory as
regards efficiency and price. I
In choosing the ' grade of oil two
factors are to be considered: First,
It should spread rapidly: second, ; it
should not evaporate too quickly.
The heavier grades of oil will not
spread readily over the surface of the

and the coating will be unnecessarily
