V. Schaffers de nies the familiar notion that light ning seeks wet ground and that lightning rods should always have their ends earthed In moist soil, or better still, in the wet ground at the bottom of some near-by creek or pond. Using a generator of electric sparks long and powerful enough to be considered veritable artificial lightning, Schaffers found that the distance from which a spark would strike and the path which the spark took was affected but little by the wetness or dryness of the soil under neath an earthed lightning rod or similar conductor. Dr. E. E. Free, in reporting the In vestigator's finds, points out that It is well known that the paths and characters of natural lightning flashes frequently are erratic, seem ing to obey none of the established laws of electric conduction. The really effective matters In lightning danger, or protection, if Schaffers Is correct, are the presence of metal ob jects or other substances which might be highly conducting for the electricity and the numbers of the electrified gas atoms called Ions In the air.
