THE ORIGIN OF ATMOSPHERIC ELEC-
TRICITY.

THE ORIGIN OF
TRIClTY.
Monthly Weather Review.
Almost every suggestion that has ever
occurred to any one as to the origin OF at
mospheric electricity and the part it plays
in meterorolgy, has been tested over and
over again during the past century with
only negative results. Some of these are
noted in the following paragraphs:
Volta and De Saussure suggested the
evaporation OF the natural waters OF the
globe, all OF which are more or less i'm
pure, but Pouillet showed that electricity
could not come from the evaporation OF
pure water, but might come from salt water
and also from the eyaporating surfaces and
chemical changes incident to vegetation.
De la Rive showed that vegetation was
entirely insufficient, and Reiss showed that
evaporation of salt water does not OF itself,
produce electricity; on the other nand he
showed that the friction of drops of water
against the sides of a platinum vessel
would produce small amount.
The hypothesis that cur electricity comes
from the action OF the sun in heating the
atmosphere as also that II is produced ny
the friction of warm air against cold air
have both been examined, bur experiment
has never been able to demonstrate the
slightest trace OF the thermo electricity in
gases and vapors
Schoenbein considered that the oxygen OF
the air might act electro chemically upon
the molecules OF water of which the clouds
are composed, but this again has received
no experimental confirmation and could
hardly account for the electricity that We
find in the clearest dry air. L. Becquerel
suggests the decomposition Of organic mat
ter, but this, also, is not considered sufh-
eient.
1t is recognized on all sides that the evap-
Grafton Of terrestrial waters may carry the
negative electricity at the surface OF the
ground upward into the atmosphere, but
this does not explain the origin of that cleo
trifed state at the surface nor the fact
that the atmosphere remains positive while
the earth remains negative
De la Rive considered that the continual
chemical action taking place in the interior
OF the globe explains the origin of terres-
trial electricity and that as beneath the
ocean this action Is due to infiltration at
sea water. therefore, the ocean is charged
with positive electricity, but the solid con-
tinents with negative.
Especially in the equatorial regions would
the atmosphere receive from the sea those
positively electrified yapors which, after
overlooking into the two hemlspheres,
would descend in the polar region and pro-
duce auroras, lightning, etc. But this fas-
cin@tlng and comprehensive theory seems to
be rot at all in harmony with the recent
careful observations as to the nature OF the
