be due TO the highly electrified condition
of the atmosphere. This theory has re-
Gently been substantiated by an interest

two Swedish astronomers Lemstrom
and Tromholt. BY means of network
OF electric currents between two noun

theory that these electrical disturbances
are connected With the appearance Of
spots on the sun, and the phenomenon
OF Saturday seems TO coufirm this view,
