LIGHTNING RODS.



Botr to ConatWKstOn* on Correct Solcntllto Principle*. An excellent lightning conductor can be erected as follows: ! Take a copper ro4 half an inch in di- ' ameter and three feet long, in one end make two saw cuts in the direction of its length six inches long and at right angles to each other. Bend out the four pieces thus formed about &0 degrees, file their ends to sharp points, and: plate them with nickel. Fasten this rod securely with copper staples to the highest part of the build ing, so that it will project abont two feet, to the lower end rivet and solder a copper ribbon one-eighth of an inch; thick and 1% inches wide. Lead this ribbon, in the most convenient way, on , the outside of the building, to the ground, fastening it to the building with copper nails. The ribbon will have to be made, of necessity, of a number of pieces, which should be securely riv eted and soldered together. Select some convenient spot near the build ing where the earth is always damp and if possible where the waste water, from the. roof or elsewhere would natu rally run. Here dig a pit about three feet square; and to moist earth, not leaf than three feet deep. Put in the bottom a well rammed layer, one foot thick, of gas coke. In one corner of the pit, rest ing on the coke and partially imbedded in it, set a piece of six inch gas pipe, long enough for the upper end to pro ject above the surf ace of the ground, fill it also with well rammed ooke to with in six inohes of the top. - Then wrap a piece of coke with a~ strip of oopper ribbon, dip the coke and ribbon in melted lead, so that there will be a good connection between them, and insert them into the gas pipe, leaving ' the end of the ribbon projecting, and fill up with coke. To this projecting end rivet and solder the ribbon leading from the building and fill up the pit with: earth. All the rivets must be of copper, and no insulators must be used. This lightning conductor will protect a conical space whose base is equal to the height of the upper point of the conductor from the ground.—Electrical Review. '' '■■ '' " ■■- - iftjM of Hot Water. A strip of flannel or a Boft napkin folded lengthwise and dipped in hot water and wrung out and then applied around the neck of a child that has the croup will usually bring relief in a few minutes. A proper towel folded several times and dipped in hot water, quickly, wrung and'applied over the site of toothache or neuralgia, wiil generally afford prompt relief. Nothing «o promptly cuts short a congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as hot water, when applied early in the case and thoroughly. Hot water taken freely Tialf an hour before bedtime is an excellent cathartic in the case of constipation, while it has a soothing effect upon the stomach and bowels. Ordinary headaches almost always yield to the simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and back of the neck.—Phrenological Journal. , Railroad Expenditure*. \ There is a general idea that very lit tle money has been spent during the last few "panic" years by the steam railroads, but if the example of the Bal timore and Ohio had been more gener ally followed there would certainly ; have been no good ground for such a ; supposition. Press Agent Maddy of the : Baltimore and Ohio has just issued a I very interesting statement of the. work ! done on the road since February, 1896. , The expenditure figures up $7,000,000, j and this amount does not include the outlay for 58,000 tons of 85 pound steel rail just ordered, costing about $3,000; ---000 more.—Electrical Engineer. i ———————. Largest Boiler Plate. The largest «team boiler plate in the world was recently turned out at the I Krupp works, in Essen, Germany. Its i dimensions are as follows: Length, 89 feet; width, 11 feet; thickness, IX inohes; surfaoe,. 4559 square feet, and weight, 87,600 pounds. Scrap* of Selene*. > Bed is the color that can be distin guished at the greatest distance. Vegetarians claim that hair grown less luxuriantly on the heads of meat eaters. There are 165 distinct colors in the spectrum, and 650 different shades have been detected. The bones of very aged persons have a greater proportion of lime than those of young people. Only 1 person in 15 has perfect eyes, the larger percentage of effectiveness prevailing among fair haired people. A Swiss scientist has been testing the presence of bacteria in the mountain air and finds that not a single microbe exists above an altitude of 2,000 feet Variations in the size of raindrops are attributed to atmospheric disturbances and to the height from which they fall, those from a high altitude being much the smaller, ' Size for size, a thread of spider's silk ia decidedly tougher than; one of steel. An ordinary thread will bear a weigh* of three grains. This is about 50 per cent stronger than a steel thread of the same thickness. Although the brain is perpetually active, yet the whole of it is never at work at one time. The two hemispheres or halves do not operate simultaneously, but alternate in action —now it is the one half, then the other. The records of Massachusetts are writ ten in an official ink. The ink is made of the best galls, sulphate of iron and gum, the sulphate of iron not to exceed one-third of the weight of the galls. The specific gravity of the matured ink must not exceed 1,045, distilled watos at 60 degrees being 1.

If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judg ment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamber laia'a Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take up with some fashionable novelty pub forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, Colds and croup there is nothing equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
