The country roads are drvmg, aud the Iigbteuiiig-iod man will soon be along. We may as well uren ire as ourselves lor the discussion of his ouea lions. That the elrctric "fluid" can be carried laug a wire even a child iu these days knows, out however much n ore there may be in electr c science little has found its way to the ligbtcniug-rod man. Wheth er the rod attracts beyoud ten or twenty feet is still a question, and what the rod is lo do with it after it gets it is open to some uonbt. The writer of this had a r d put upou a dwelling many years ago, and with full faith in the protection, during a storm he had his floor ripped up and himselt mm' a It a ann trienus - I on- s and gentleman toss- d about iu the most inconsiderate manner by the electric visitor. It came down the rod to about six feet of tbe ground, when it concluded to lesve the rod, bore a hole through a twenty-inch stone wall, and pay its unwelcome respects to the party inside. The rod was not put up by a botch; the employer and the employed understood the business. Still we were tnld the defect must be in tbe rod or in the manner of its construction. This is a common way of accounting for things. Some years ago there was a discussion going on in the papers in which one side asserted that no member of a certain religious denomination had ever been con rieted of crime. Alas ! in the heights of the controversy one committed murder, but the side did not lose heart, but con tended that th- pet son had ceased to be a member of that body from the moment he had thoughts of committing the crime And it is just in this way the lightening- rod men defeat us. We must get reason ing of our own. One fact is, we think undoubted, tha as many buildings are injured hy lighten ing that have rods as have not. Certainly we have known barns with their valuable contents to be destroyed that were well protected by conductors. We are asked in these cases. "Did the conductors ter minate in a well or wet soil 7" It is hard to find any conductor in a "wet soil" in . 3 . 3 a . tne ory snmmer time, ana is only He m when lightning strikes and as for wells, there is not one building in a thousand that has one convenient to run a I ;r h t n i n - rod into. II the lightning rod is to be a sucess it mnst furnish us with some more available conditions than these. We are inclined to think that tbe best protection to buildidgs arc seme tall growing trees not too close at least twenty or thirty feet away. Every leaf aud the point of every twig ia a conductor, and the hundreds of little "platinum" points, conducting each its little quantity to tbe mam stem, make a total power equal o the rifring of a trunk of a hun dred years. There is no well of water under a tree's roots; indeed, the earth un der a large tree is extremely dry. Still the fluid passes from the trunk away in safety. Immediately under a tree charg ed with a "lightening stroke" is one of the most dangerous plaees, bat we doabt whether over twenty feet away from a trunk any one was injured.
