Atmospheric Electricitx.

The belief that the formation of
clouds is often accompanied by cleo
trical effects is confirmed by Prof.
Schuster, who describes an experience
in Switzerland. AS he was descend
ing from Dent Blanche after sunset he.
found himself in a wide valley at
height Of about IL 900 feet A current
Of air was apparently blowing up the
valley, and below him he observed the.
formation of cloud at a height lit
tie below the snow line. AS night
came on, and the descent over the,
glacier and down the valley was con-
tinued, series of electric discharges
were seen between the cloud, which
was lying in deep-cut valley, the
sides Of the mountain, and the blue
sky overhead. The moist air was evil
IDENTIFY flowing through the cloud, de-
posting its moisture in the form of
drops, and leaving the cloud in an cleo
tritied state. Wherever water rubs:
against air positive electricity is gen.
Grated. Every wave that breaks into
spray under the action Of a strong
wind leaves the water negatively cleo
trified. the air carrying away the posi-
tive charge. Prof. Schuster suggests
that it would be of great interest to
possess observations on atmospheric
electricity on board ship while waves
are breaking in the neighborhood. So
far we have to guide us only the OBJ
servations of Exner, who found, on
the Ceylon coast, that the spray from
breaking waves, showed by the cleo
trOmcter, that it was nOSitiyely elecfri-
fed.

The horrors of the war in Cuba are
only half realized by people in the
United States. They overtake the
Spaniards chiefly. Hundreds die of
fever and hunger; soldiers curse their
country for throwing them naked and
starving into a strange and hostile
land; men commit suicide rather than
endure the terrible suffering and the
hopeless failure; others, sent to crush
the insurrectionists, desert to Join
them, and cavalry colonel, suspected
of disloyalty, blows out his brains.

1t is proposed to carry into effect
project which aims at bringing from
far below the lowest depths of Sydney
harbor, New South Wales, the coal
which biologists had predicted would
be found there, and which has actual
ly been tested by diamond-drjll bor-
ings. Transport" in a recent issue,
contains a very fattering account of
the scheme now being floated on the
London market, from which the fol-
lowing particulars are obtained. I'm
portant coal fields had been developed
both north and south of Sydney-at
Newcastle and Bulli-but up to the
present the intervening area has been
left practically untouched, although
plainly shown on the government
geological maps Of forty years ago.
The unquestionable advantages which
would follow the opening of coal
mines in the very heart of the capital
of the colony have led to the forma-
ton of company, and induce our
contemporary to take NEST sanguine
view Of the outlook. Sydney is an i'm
portant shipping port, where the lines
Of many steamship companies con-
verge, and the coal of the bed in ques-
ton is in demand for bunker use and
export. The behring's were made un-
ded the superintendent of the Miners
Department Of New South Wales, part
~ on account of geological interest
and partly with the very practical ul-
terror view of raising revenue. The
seam was found within thirty feet OF
the depth predicted by the biologists,
in u bore hole 2,7OO feet deep. For
1900 feet the borings passed through
a compact sandstone, claimed to be
impermeable to water. The seam it.
self is ten feet three inches thick, of
which six feet is clean coal free from
band. The shafts to be sunk will be
within 200 feet of deep water, so that
the situation will be unique, the saw
ing on cost of transportation from the
nearest mines now working being
about 75c to 81 a ton. The parent
company has secured surface site of
small extent, but has concessions
over 1,4OO acres below ground land
water) and it is expected that several
other colleries will be started, for
which there is said to be room.
| There is nothing extraordinary in
mining under water as implied in the
statements.
This has been done on the Cornish
Coast, and in the copper and iron
mines of Michigan at Silver Islit, Lake
Superior, but the opening of great col
lieries In large shipping port, with a
delivery from the shaft mouth direct
~ into vessels alongside, is something
which only the mines of Washington
and British Columbia can rival. It
is also proposed to utilize the smaller
coal, screened from the bunker coal,
for large electric installation ana
also to make coke and establish local
smelling Philadelphia Record.
