What produces the electricity in a
thunderstorm? This question, of peren-
NAL interest both to the scientific man
and the ordinary inquirer, can scarcely
be said 70 be completely and satisfacto-
rily solved. 1t has, however, generally
been supposed that the big drops in a
thunder shower were the result of cleo
IRRIGATION, for working an electrical
machine in fog causes the minute drops
to adhere together and form larger ones.
But now come developments that rem
der it probable that the big drops are
not results, but causes-at least Of part
of the electricity manifested When a
drop splashes on metal plate, the lat
ter becomes electrified, and it is now
believed that every such drop carries a
double layer of electricity, positive and
negative. On the drop these neutralize
each other, but the splash dissipates
one and SO renders the other evident.
Tho same thing would happen if two
drops splashed against each other in the
air, as must often be the case, and hence
perhaps by the aggregation of millions
of such splashes comes the lightning
bolt that rends the oak or skaters the
spire. New York Times
