Synopsis
Excerpt from Lightning Rods
Away back in 1901, when Prof. J. B. Reynolds was head of the Department of English and Physics, he began to investigate the efficiency of lightning rods. Five years later. When two departments were formed of one and he chose the Depart ment of English, leaving the writer the Department of Physics, the writer thought he could not do better than continue the work so ably begun. To-day after eight years' further study added to the five we have the problem solved.
