Electricity from the Sen.

At first glance there seems to be no
connection between the breaking of
sea waves and the electrical condition
of the air. Recent Investigations, how
ever. show that the shattering of the
waves and the scattering of the sp,ay
have the effect of imparting electricity
to the atmosphere. Visitors to the sea
shore experience a stimulation from
the ozone contained in the air, and the
presence of this is ascribed to the cleo.
trifying action of the spray from the
breaking waves.
