Fire believed to have received its origin from defective wiring, caused damage estimated between $80,000 and $100,000, to William Knechtel and Son's gristmill.

The loss is partly covered by insurance. At the time of the Are the building had some 20,- 000busliele of wheat in stere.' It is believed that little of this will be worth salvaging.

Then I would have no grevious task; on downy beds of ease I'd bask; and drink red lemonade; for me there'd be no beastly grind, I'd sleep all day if so inclined, and through cheap novels wade. At last the day I longed for came; bliss percolated through my frame; "At last," I said "I'm free"; this getting up at break of day to milk the cows and pitch the hay—no more of that for me." Then for three weeks or maybe five, exulting that I was alive I loafed around the grade; pitched horseshoes on the village green, and monkeyed with the slot machine, and fancied I was glad. But soon my life became a bore; I yearned to have a man-sized chore, to make me tired at night. I longed to plow the rows of corn, and hear the old tin dinner horn, and have an appetite. Another month of glided ease, and my old dome was full of fleas and bats and things like those; the loafing life had lost its charm, and I went whoop to the farm, where toil is all that goes. I pity all the slothful shirks; true bliss is for the man who works and sweats the lony day thru; who knows when comes the close of day, that he has grown a bale of hay or peradventure two.

JOSEPH SENIOR, Clerk of the Village of Exeter CASTOR For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Sigtnatute of LOSS FROM LIGHTNING Properly Rodded Buildings. Alone Are Safe. Rods May Be Installed 'by Farmer . Himself Efficiently and Cheaply Aluminum or Copper Material Should Be Used—lie Store Reds Are !Yell Grounded. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) CCOMPANYING the heated summer days are the num- erous thunderstorms which infest the temperate regions of oinr continent, and it is then vete need the proper answer to the euea- tion of practicability of lightning rods. Contemporaneous with thie. usually come the lightning rod agents and again a knowledge of the sub- ject is necessary, To answer the question we can do no better than rely on the statistics of insurance companies. Reports from these in 1913 show that 26 per cent. of their risks were on rodded buildings. The total number of claims paid were 193, which amounted to $40,904.53; of these eight were rodded and dam- age done only $57.64. If the rods were no good then 2v per cent. of strokes should have been on rodded buildings, or, roughly, 50 strokes. In that year the insurance com- panies figured an efficiency of 99.5 per cent. In Iowa the efficiency runs 98.7 per cent. and in Michigan, where the rodding is inspected the efficiency is 99.9 per cent. From these we are forced to agree that lightning rods are a protection, and we mutt now consider where and how to rod. During the year 1900 in U. S. A. the number of persons killed by lightning was 713, of which 291 were killed in the open, 158 in houses, 57 under trees, and 56 in barns, of the remainder the circumstances were unknown. From this it appe.:rs that it is more dangerous in the open than anywhere else, The reason of this probably is that the house, tree, etc., act as conductors 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 1883 summary reports show that yearly out of every million buildings, 549 ordinary buildings (houses, barns), 6,277 churches, 8,524 windmills, and 306 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 pre- vents a discharge. However, the die - 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 that improper 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 roof 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 high are sol- dered and braced firmly to the con- ducting rod running along the ridge and placed about 20 or 30 feet apart. In the case of a house, au 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, and even litter car- 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 .inilamable material, Good lightning rods bought front a reliable firm properly installed will not only decrease your insurance premiums, but insure you against an enormous danger and expense.F-+» .
