Regardless OF the advance in futures,

impression Is gaining ground that spots

Conservative and very successful trad

The anticipation of & quiet buliish

short interest and an increasing specula-
tive demand with the prospects of a

SEVEN FEET OF LIGHTNING


The Largest Electrical spark Ever
Produced In IA Laboratory.
The largest spark of lightning that
can be produced artifically is Il little
under seven feet long. Such spark.
which is of practical use in the study
OF the phenomena of lightning. may be
seen at the jefferson Physical labora-
tory at Harvard university. where il
ia produced by the tremendous power
of 3.0UJ.UU0 V Its of electricity. or sew
erai thousand times the power used in
elect. ocHting Il criminal. Ii has been
found also that Il higher voltage can
not produce a longer spark.
The battery used at the Cambridge
laboratory consists of 2o.OU0 cells and
has total electromotive force of about
100000 volts. greater power than
that of any other laboratory battery in
this country and probably in the
world. When the battery is operated
in a darkened room. the reason why
even the full current cannot produce q
spark longer than that made by only
half its total power becomes readily
apparent.
Not only does the current of electric
ity fash from one terminal sphere of
the transforming machine to the other,
making an exact reproduction of light
ming without the thunder, but from
both terminals and from the long row
of conducting plates there is simulta-
neous brush discharge, 50 called, close
ly resembling the effect of heat light
ming"
The high electromotive force of the
haftpry has anna ronf1v hroEan down
the resistance of the air, a result sim
liar to that of a diminished air pres
sure. The main discharge of electric
ity that would have otherwise passed
between the terminals passes through
the air to the floor and walls. AS the
electromotive force increases more and
more electricity is given off toward
floor and walls. and the length of the
spark between the terminals is there
fore permanently limited.
With this same apparatus. IL it could
be elevated into the rarefied atmos-
phere In which real lightning occurs
and where neither floors nor walls can
attract and dissipate the discharge. an
equal electromotive force would prob
ably produce very real and terribly
ing lightning fash. the length of which
would represent more accurately the
tremendous power that occa stoned ii.
The passage of this powerful spark
through various substances is natural
iy very much like the effect of a light
uing stroke. Ii has been shown by ex-
periments that the SCATTERING and dis
ruptive effects of lightning are very
probably due to the expansion of con
fined air. as. for example when the
bolt enters an old tree. or TO the sud
den formation OF steam-the high cleo
tromotive force. that is to say breaks
down the resistance of the air and at
the same time transforms the moisture
of the air into steam. thus producing
- -xplosion that rends any surround
