CCO'4IPANYING the . heated summer days are the num- erous thunderstorms which infest the temperate regions of our continent, and it is then we need the proper answer to the ems - tion of practicability of li,itru:n,t rods.

During the year 1900 in 1', S. A. the number of persona killed by lightning was 713, of wh!slt '2 1 were killed in the open, 1,1e i11 houses, u7 under trees, and $6 in barns, of th.t remainder the circumstances ever-, unknown. Front this it appears thee it is more dangerous in the open than anywhere else. The reason of this probably is that the house, tree, etc., act as eonduetors and carry the charge directly to the ground with- out harming the occupants. Of those killed in the open the most were raised above their surroundings,, on horse -back, a load of hay or an agri- cultural implement. In Schleswig- Holstein, for the years 1874 to 1W: summary reports show that yearly out of every minion buildings, 549 ordinary buildings (houses, barns). 6,277 churches, 5,524 windmills, and 806 factories were struck. Naturally the total number of churches in that country are less than any other type of building and yet they were more often struck, which Is due to their height and especially of their spire. Thus all high or projecting objects are more liable to be struck and hence should be rodded, A lightning rod is merely a me- tallic rod sunk in damp earth and terminating in a point or points above a projecting structure. Now unlike charges of electricity attract, thus the charge of the cloud attracts the oppositely induced charge on the earth up through the rod to the point where it slowly leaks off into the air about it and thus ionizes it. This ionized or charged air now exists within a field of electrical force which causes a current of electricity to travel slowly through the atmo- sphere to the cloud which tends to neutralize the charge on the cloud above the building and hence Ifre- vents a discharge. however, the dis- charge .is not always prevented as lightning sometimes acts with a "freak nature" and a discharge oc- curs between the clouds and the lightning rod. This is due to a re- versed condition being very sudden- ly brought about by induction and the slow transfer of electricity through the air has not time to dis- charge the cloud before the flash takes place. It is now thar unproper installation proves disastrous. Hence careful inspection by the owner at the time of installation is most essential. Rods should preferably be alum- inum or copper, as these do not rust easily, and weight about three ounces per' running foot. There should be a continuous rod starting in moist earth about eight to ten feet below the surface and running up the corner of the building to the eave, hence along the slant edge of the roc! to the peak and along the ridge to the other end, and down the opposite slant side again to the eave, and thence to damp ground. This conductor should be fastened. firmly to the structure by metallic fasteners and not insulated from it. It should also be protected to a height of eight or ten feet above ground by nailing a board over it to prevent Cattle from disturbing it in any way. Metallic nickel pointed uprights about five feet hign are sol- dered and braced finely to the con- ducting rod running along the ridge and placed about 20 or 30 feet apart. In the case of a house, an upright should extend a short, way above each chimney and should be bent in, so that the point would project above the centre of the flue to prevent a discharge passing down the chimney, by the fairly good ,conductors, the heated air and soot. On a barn a :rod also should extend above each ventilator outlet. .All weather vanes, .finials, ridge ironwork, eavetroughs, metal hay -tracks, andeven litter cars. rier tracks, if close to the conductor, should be soldered to the conductor,, In fact, all masses of metal of any size should be connected to the rod or grounded well, as in these induced currents may be set up by a dis- charge, which in jumping from one piece to another may come in contact With some infamable material. Good lightning rods bought from a reliable firm properly installed pvill. not only decrease your insurance premiums, but insure you against an enormous danger and expense.— R. C. Moffat, B.S.A., O.

August Ploughing- Destroys a Co>x-. sideratble Proportion of White Grubs and Wire Worms infesting Old Sod I+ields—Flax Is a Splen- did Crop for a keret Crop on Sucit 1� fields. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) T0WD the end of the sum-, mer, the amateur flower grower often wonders how the sto1'k of geraniums in the slower border can be Increased and pre..erved by some other means than by taking up the old plants in the autumn; the last named method not having, perhaps, proved success- ful in past seasons. By starting fair- ly early, toward the end of August, before cold chilly nights appear, a nice supply of young plants, stere especially of all kinds of geraniums of the flowering kind, or those hav- ing fragrant leaves, or even the bronze or silver -leaved kinds, can be had by starting cuttings or slips of these plants. First of all obtain a shallow box about three inches deep, ten or twelve inches wide, and froth twelve to twenty -tour incites in length, an empty baddie (fish) box will do very well. It should have some small holes bored through the bottom for drainage. Pack this box orally with moist, clean, gritty sand; sand that will make good stone mor- tar will do. Then take the terminal or top part of the young growth of plants about four or five inches in length, each shoot or cutting having from tour to six joints where leaves are produced. Make the base of the cutting just below one at these nodes or leaf joints, making a, clean cut with a sharp knife flat across. Cut off some of the lower leaves, leaving two or three leaves at the top. Cut oft all bloom buds and blossoms where possible. Make a hole or drill. in the wet sand deep enough to set fully batt the length of stems of cut- tings in the sand. Water them well once and keep the sand moist until cuttings are rooted, which should be in five or six weeks' time. The box can be set out of doors in partial shade until the first week in Septem- ber, when they can be taken into the window. When cuttings have roots about an inch in length dig them carefully from the sand without injuring the roots and pot them singly into small 2 3,6 inch pots or set them about two inches apart in well -drained shallow boxes In a soil made up of one part sand, one part leaf mould, and about six parts of light loamy soil enriched with one part of dry pulverised cow manure from the pasture field. This last is one of the best possible fertilizers for soil for pot plants, Set the young plants in the window in a tempera- ture of 60 to 70 deg.
