There were eight pointed conductors of iron ; but the 

 communication with moisture in the earth was perhaps im- 

 pared, the conductors were rusty, and perhaps they were 

 too distant ; there was at the time a very heavy rain. A 

 woman said she saw three balls of fire strike the house. The 

 wall was injured, and a saddle hanging in a stable was da- 

 maged.

 when the cloud is negative.

A person struck by lightning in bed at Augusta, a Jan.

 water, which his wife threw on him. 



The point of a conductor ought to be of copper, not only 

 as being less liable to rusf, but as conducting equally well 

 with iron of twice the dimensions. 



Reimarus recommends, that all the highest parts of a 

 house should be protected by slips of lead communicating 

 with the ground. And this method is preferred by many to 

 a pointed conductor. 



Conductors have sometimes been fixed to sticks and um- 

 brellas, connected with a chain which is dragged along tht 

 ground, but they can afford little or no protection.
