A lightning rod looks like a good fit to me! Check around in the observatory again. 2. A red herring I'm afraid. 3. Even statues like to read in this game! 4. Red herring. 5. Red herring. 6. Assuming you've encountered the devilish hell hound that guards the platinum horn, there is a certain kind of *water* that can be used on him - if you know where to get it. Check around again in the laboratory. Is there something you didn't operate? 7. Another red herring. Happy hunting, Barry
