But before actually giving those lectures, on again making a few experiments, to his surprise, he found that, so far from being worse, it was often rather better--that iron, even a thin wire of iron, carried ott'tbe discharge better than a thick wire of copper. He did not press the point that iron is better than copper, and he had never said that copper has more self-induction than iron--that would be a mad thing to say. It might happen for some reason or other that the copper obstructed the current more than the iron, but he preferred to say that they are just equal. Now Mr. Preece said that the function of a lightning-conductor is to prevent a flash from striking the conductor; that is to say, that a lightning-conductor never ought to be struck or it fails. But they are struck because they get melted. Yet at the beginning sentence Mr. Preece said that they never failed. He did not know which of these statements was to be taken as correct. If a lightning-conductor can prevent a flash from occurring by its repellent action well and good, but he had shown in those lectures that there are cases where a point has no protective action whatever, when a point could be struck by a thick and heavy flash. There were other cases where the point acts with a brush or fizz and neutralises the electric charge without a flash. They could not always do it. And so the lightning-rod has two functions, one is to be repellent if it can and the other is to carry off a flash when it cannot help receiving it.
