Here, then we see - that the greater the diffeienee between the conductingpower of the building and the tnaleri- al of the rod is composed, the greater will be the protection tux ured. ) . Iron 'and copper are the metals which ate fond to answer the purpo.-..! best ; and although copper is the most powerful conductot, )0 by reason of its high price, compared with iron, the letter is corn- wooly useti. the next thing to be considered is the dime sions of the rod. And first, rts to length or heiglt sifppose a rod twenty feet high, to the placed ex actly . perpendicular to the ground ; then with a raditra of forty feet,-describe a circle whose centre shall be the spdt penetrated by the rod. The diame ter of this circle will be eighty feet. Now eat* and every object within this circle, which does not project out of an imaginary line dmwnirOm the top of the rod to the circumference of the circle, will be found to be fully and amply protected. The laiv may be said to be, that a lightning rod chill protect everything placed with in the circumference of a circle describing it, with a radius twice the perpendicular height of the rod. Therefore, in putting up a lightning rod, the per pendicular height of the rod, froth the point where it ascends from the ridge, must be 1-4th the length of the ridge, that is, if it ascends from the ridge at the centre between the two end.. It the 'rod as cends from one end of the ridge, its height must be one-fief tite length of the ridge—unless another rqd is.provided for the other end, in which case each must project One-fourth the length of the ridge. From this it will be seen that the great point in (elation to the length of the rod, is not absolute length from one end to the other, but only the • length measured from the tip to where it leaves the . ridge of the building. The height 'of the building Wakes no difference—the extretne horizontal length df the ridge only, king taken into account. The diameter, or thickness of the rod should be • iron, three-fourths of an inch thick—if copper, half an inch. The reason slinl rods of this thickness are required, is,, that they may hot be melted by the : most powerful discharges that occur. The end of the rod that is project above the huddling., gener ally terminates its a fork of three prongs. Of this there is no necessity if one is well made. The only reason for having three points is, if one gets rusty there is still another rema fling bright. Now if one is constructed so thist it will not get rusty, it is all that is, required. The rod should be bratrAt to point and* perfectly capped with some metal not liable to o.xydation. Platina, gold, and silver, are rtsed—the two first are preferable to the last. The eap should btu frets an inch acids half to two niches in length and of thickness of a sixpence.. The mans of attaching the rod to the building are various. The most effective and at the same time the most simple is glass. The object is to permanently att:Etsh the rod to,the building with a ' non-conducting material. The mode of attachment is as follows : In all cities you may find what are lrkss spools ; Through the, bole in the centre the rod passes. On the groove, on the outside, (where in a spool the cotton is wound,) is to be fitted a bolt, which may be readily driven into the build ing. The different length of roil shoold be rivetted to gether—being first fitted by shoulders. The bottom of the rod should terminate in two or three branch es going off itt:a direction from the building four 4 ' or five feet under ground. The depth may vary according to the nature of the soil—wet soils re quiring less and dry ones st greater depth.
