If they are to be grounded on a gas -or water* pipe, wrap a»)out two feet of bare w:ire tightly around the entrance pipe, and solder it well to ensure a good connection. If this is not practicable, solder the ends of terminal wires to copper plates, each haying a surface of three square feet, and place them three or four feet in damp earth.
