science approves lightning rods extravagant claims wore form y made- for lightningrods and scientific methods of installation have lessened their vogue yet their use rests oc sound principles in caldwell and curtisx introduc tion to science cinn and company boston the principle- of the lightning- rod is explained lightningrods are a valuable means of protection from lightning wo are assured especially iu the country in the city the soilpipes from the drains serve tho purpose of lightningrods wo read further to be effective a lightningrod must be buried deeply enough so that its end is always surrounded by moist earth because moist earth is a good conductor of electricity and dry earth is not this statement means that electrons pass easily through moist earth but have difficulty in passing through dry earth if lightning should striko a house or barn having lightningrods tho lightning would probably run off on tho rods without harming the building i lightningrods aro put on build ings chiefly to protect them by pre- tenting tho lightning from jumping and they serve to conduct tho light ning into tho ground it it should striko thus when a cloud charged with electricity approaches a building equipped with lightningrods the rods becomo charged with the opposite kind of electricity from that of the clouds the reason is that if tho cloud is positively charged it attracts extra electrous to tho top of the rod if it la negative it repels electrons from tho top of tho rod into tho ground tho molecules of air near the point of the lightningrod then take on ex- tra electrons from tho rod it the rod 13 negative or give up electrons to the rod it the rod is positive the molecules thus become charged these charged molecules are then attracted to the cloud which takes away from them tho extra electrons they re ceived from the lightningrod or gives them some of its extra electrons to replace those which they gavo to the i rod as the case may be the result is that tho cloud is quietly neutralized or made neutral so that tho lightning flashes from it are smaller or if t litre aro enough lightningrods in the neigh borhood and other objects to help in neutralizing the chrirge the lightning is prevented em irely although nice nplo fear the lightning there is really very little danger of being struck by it it has recently been estimated that tho chances that a person will be struck by lightning in his home are only one in many millions however i it is prudent during a thunderstorm to keep away from the walls through which radiator and heating

designed to cut down overhead expenses a perforated strip at one end gives details of the account this is torn off when the postcard is received and the cheque is then r csented at the bank in the

but the principal advantage claimed for tho system is that people who havo no account can yet make payments through the post office to any postal cheque account in any part of the country this is said

beds measures some 40 feet or more in width by about 75 feet in length these beds on the river side were frequently palisaded with stakes or saplings driven into the ground two or more feet apart and interwoven with willows thus forming a wicker- work and constituting a species of re taining wall the site shows plainly where numerous upright posts stood in a straight line different encampments mr

of the most important oligocene fossil deposits known to date in this country one believed to have been guarded by nai ture for millions of years was an nounced by harvard university here recently the deposit was discovered and de veloped by an expedition from the harvard museum of comparative zoology under the leadership of erich it schlaikjer the find lies four miles south and west of torrington and presents an outcrop of bones over a halfmile in length the layers of bones vary from ten inches to three feat in thickness the bones are mainly of the little threetoed horse mesohippus and the rhinoceros caenopus but almost every member of the oligocene fauna is represented it was said it was pointed out that one of the most important features of the de posit was in the fact that fossil bird material occurred in abundance the only other known deposit in the world where fossil bird bones occur in such abundance as those found in wyoming is in pleisocene oeds at itancho le brae in california schlaikjer in an account of the ex pedition said that nature had guard ed the thousands of mesohippus skele tons for millions of years the expedition leader also reported that a dinosaur
