IMPORTANT AND RELIABLE INFORMATION RELATING TO
Lightning Rods.
These Rods are made of the best materials and in the best manner. The Points are the well-known Platina points, combined with the one invented by Prof. Robert Hare, and which is approved by all Scientific Judges. They have been adopted, and placed upon the Girard College Buildings ; also by the U. S. Coast Survey for Light houses ; and for Steamships.
The Committee on Science and the Arts, of the FRANKLIN INSTITUTE, report as follows:
" The Committee, therefore, in conclusion express their opinion, that in the Lightning Rod submitted by Mr. A. C. Brown, proper attention has been paid to securing the best conditions which a lightning rod should possess ; and they believe that the rod, as proposed to be con- structed, may and ought to be recommended by the Franklin Institute, as being in a very high degree cheap, durable, and efficient.
