The lightning-rod fulfills two essentially different offices_it acts both asa prophylactic and & remedy; itis intended to prevent, if possible, the lightning from striking, and, if not, to make its striking more harmless. The first object it attains, in most eases, by silently discharging the threatening cloud, gradually drawing off its electricity, and so disarming it; the other, by furnishing so free a passage to the earth that when a cloud, too heavily charged, and too swiftin its approach for coaxing, does pour out its wrath. the lightning will pass off harmlesely; for it does damage only when its course is of- stracted. For the purpose of preven'in: hing a small rod is just as efficacious as e one, if only it is well elevated above the highest ¢ building, and is provided with a gikied or tipped with platinam. tie point,” which is good one and well made, though tim” it - chery is sags whatever. If such a point, properly placed, is connected thoroughly to the ground ie. the con- ductor no than an ordinary telegraph wire, it will silently discharge nine out of ten of all the thunder-clouds that come withia its range; the tenth, Rowever, will very likely be too strongly charged and approach too rapidly, in which e& the rod will be struck and melted, and the building damaged or destroyed. Security against such a catastrophe requires that the red, if of iron, should be not less than three-quarters of am inch in diameter, (an inch is better.) or, if of copper, from tive-sixteenths to one-half an inch; the iron rod should weigh at least five pounds to the yard, and the copper, one. It makes very little difference what the form of the conductor may be, whether round or Square, or tm fiat sheets, though there is a slight vantage in causing tt to expose considerable Surface, since when powerfl currents are Passed through a wire its central filaments do hot perform yuite their due proportion of the rk. ning @ very itis not true, however, as many light- only the surface of cious. ‘The lightuing-rod ought muous throughout, or if jointed the tld be so carefully made as to re y perfect; otherw at amvunt and the b P may be fired are now much used as lightn’ admirably fultill this conditi tinuity, and w large enough are as good as anything ¢ several of small diame course, give th ion as large one, and in some respects are better. Where ‘houses are provided with metallic Water-spouts, these ought to be included in the conducting chain; if they are not, they are really dangerous, the danger being that a por- tion of the «lischarge will leap from the rod t the gutter upon the roof, doing damage ther and then foliowing the spout, again produce dangerous discharge in the passing ground. ‘The rod. therefore, should be carefully cor- nected with the roof gutter, and the terminal of the water-spout with the ground. If the rod at any point of its course passes near (i. ¢. within three or four feet) of the gas or water pipes, it should be connected with them at the remotest point from the ground where the approach oc- curs; it must be connected to foth the gas and Water pipes, if it comes near them both. If this precaution is neglected the building will almost certainly be fired by the lightning striking trom the red ‘tothe pipe through the wall. More than a dozen accidents of this kind have h: pened during the year. But the most danger. ous, and at the same time most common, defect of a lighning-rod, lies in an insufficient connec- tion with the ground. Earth, even when moist, is so poor @ conductor of electricity that the conditong of security can be fulfilled only by wing @ vastly greater surface of contact be- ‘ween tne rod and the soil than is usual: indeed the proper arrangement of matters at the lower end of the red imvelves more trouble and ex- = than all the rest, and is very seldom uughly done. The rod should be carried hori- zontally a footer two under the surface toa distance of eight or ten feet from the foundation walls. Here a pit should be dug four or five feet square, penetrating to moist earth. Carry single the rod down the centre of this pit to the bot- tom, and throw in a cart-l of scraps of sheet-iron and tin, and you will accomplish the end as well and cheaply as im an know of. A cart-load of charcoal wil! answer same purpose. There is also a patent ground connection for aan. which very good, consisting of circular disks of tron, cast with numerous spikes and p: tions, so far as to expose a large surface. These disks, each & foot @ half im diameter, and derground portion of the rod attine sdittases of TgTOU i at a foot dt two from each other. Four or five of them are sufficient, if the soil is moist.

The Vermin Asphyxiator. ‘Those who have suffered from the ravages of the ground squirrels and gophers in California, and of equally annoying animals elsewhere, will welcome a satisfactory method of extermi- imting these depredators, devised by Mi son, the luventor of what he calls the Vermin Asphyxiator,” for destroying’ ani in burrows, and for ether p Ene Tatus consists of a vessel capable of being manner we yer fectly closed, in which sheets of paper saturat- ed with sulphur or other substances may be burned, and the frames foreed out through a fleatble tabe by means of a tan, which delivers the noxious gases, with pressure sufficient to rive them into the minutest crevices. In the course of publi exbibition of the apparatus, recently given im London, numerous experi- ments were tried, among them the destruction of aphides on plants, of wedvills in grain, of snakes in a hole, of rats in a drain-pipe, etc. For destroying rabbits, squirrels or other ani- mals in burrows, it is only to intro- duce the flexible tube or nose into ‘one of the apertures close up the rest, if this can be done conveniently and theuforee a continuous stream of through the burrowa A few minutes application is sufficient to destroy every living thing within the intiuence of the apparatus.

Are these artificial truitessences deleterious to health? A succinct answer to this cuestion can- not properly be given. If taken into the stom- ach in any considerable quantity, and in an an- diluted form, the effect would, without doubt, be not simply deleterious but highly dangerous. But, in the form in which they are nited in confectionery, etc., they are more or less diluted: the chance, therefore, of harm following their occasional use fs greatly lessened. But even | when diluted, habitual indulgence in them, ac- cording, to the opinion of scientific men, cannot | fail to injariour to health. And deleterious re- sults may follow their occasional use, even when in the diluted form; thismay happen in the ease of adults, on account of a peculiar idiosynerasy. And in all cases, probably, children are more susceptible to their influence than adults. Chil- | dren are also more likely than adults te partake | largely of confectionery, and a free indulgence, | in articles of this kind,in a season of the year | when disorders. of the intestinal canal are ‘pre- valent, has been known to bring on such disor- | ders, or to aggravate them when existing. | itis, however, sometimes the case that suf- | ficient dilution of the flavoring ether has not | ‘been made, and alarming consequences have attended such carelessness. The writer was in- formed by a distinguished chemist and poysician that, within his personal knowledge, two chil- dren—one of them, mdeed, his own child—were seized, after drinking the liquid contained in @ hollow toy, candy-anchor, with alarming seda- tive symptoms, requiring active medical treat- ment. Enough of this liquid was secured to prove that it was flavored with the artificial pine-apple essence. When these essences first came into use. con- fectionery flavored with them was exceedingly popular; but it was not long before it became 50 evudent that indulgence in such confectionery Was attended with evil results, that caution was given m the newspapers of the day, and the sale ofthe ‘fruit-drops,” ete., greatly diminished. Dr. Hassell, in his ‘‘Adulterations Detected,” says: ‘Many articles of sugar-confectionery are flavored with “essences” which are often of an injurious and even dangerous character, some of them containing prussic acid and fusil oil.” “J have heard,” says Prof. A. $8. Taylor, “that some of the jargonelle pear-drops and the rib- stone pippin-arops have prod drowsiness and stupor in children. Its an imposition on the public to sell in this way a chemically fa- | vored substance under another name.” As regards the use of these artificial sences, itis an undoubted fact that they are very extensively employed everywhere, for fla- voring jellies, confectioneryof varions ktudsand syrupstor soda-water. They are also used in | the manufacture of factitious wines and other | aicohohe liquors. They are found to be less | adapted to ices than to the other articles men- tioned, and are probably used in them to a very | limited extent, and not at all by confectioners | Of any repute. Although the use of the artificial essences in | soda-syrups is common enough, as a general | thing the druggists and apothecaries do not use | them toa greatextent. Those of the best re- | pute probably do not use them at all. They all agree in using citric or tartaric acid in place of | | lemon juice, on account of the difficulty im | keeping pure lemon syrup for any length of | time. oun citric and tartaric acids however, | | are true fruit acids, the former coming from the | juice of the lemon and the latter trom cream of | tartar, which is a deposit from wine. If used: | the proper amount, neither of these acids can | deleterious in an occasional summer beverage. | Fxcept in one or two instances, the lemon sy | was still further approximated to the. genui article by the addition of ofl of lemon. Withont exception the oilsof winter-green and sassafras were added to the sarsaparilla syrup to supple- ment the flavorless Preparation of that root. Oil of anise is said to be sometimes used in ad- dition to the two oils mentioned. stance, there was no sarsaparilia whatever in the syrup bearing that name, which was sim- ply molasses and water flavored as usual. Prob- ably the greater part of the so-called sarsapa- rilla syrup dispensed with soda-water in obscure parts of the city, and at the smaller apotheca- ries everywhere, is quite innocent of the famous root. It is the “fountains” in just these local- ities that are visited by the class of persons who eriodically think thai their blood is “out of ar- er,” and whoselect illa syrup with the object of purifying it drinking the beverage with the most undoubting faith in its virtues. It may be menti that, when the essences are used in the s; a small portion of either citric or tartaric acid is used to give a slightly tart .
