GLOBES OF LIGHT IN SKY.
Rare "Ball Lightning" Recently
Seen by People Of France.

. PARIS. Oct /: singular instance OF
what seems to have been glohular or bail
lightning was recently reported IN III"
French scientific papers The lightning
was seen in place wher. ,har. was no
storm NJ the time. although storm clouds
we're visible in the ncighborhood
The appearance was that of two lumi-
nous. orange colorcd globes. one above
the other. and connected by slender cord
or chain. which emitted feebler light and
seemed granular in constitution. The two
globes moved together horizontally toward
the northeast, although at the place where
the observers were the wind was from the
north.
The upper globe. which was the larger.
kept ON its way steadily. while the other
dropped slowly toward the ground. The
connecting cord then disappeared and the
globes moved on slowly. remaining visible
for two minutes and finally disappea ring
silently. This phenomenon differs sensibly
from the typical forms of globuar lightning
described recently by Prof W. VI. Thornton
OF Armstrong College
According to this author globular light
ming descends slowly from a cloud. gener
ally after violent clap Of thunder. in the
form OF "A brilliant blush ball. II boupd-
from the earth when il touches and then
moves of few yards horizontally. These
balls readily follow an electric conductor
a gas pipe. for instance. and burst when
they touch water. or sometimes in the open
air The ball then disappears insta ntane-
ously with a violent explosion which may
do damage and which produces strong
smell of ozone.
Thornton believes with reason that glob-
ular lightning is made mp principally OF a
mass of ozone this hypothesis explains
why the color of the bah is usually bluish,
why the luminous mass descends slowly
through the air ozone being of u density y
about - times that of air. and finally why
the instantaneous disappearance of the
ball is accompanied ny an explosion, for
the transformation of ozone into oxygen
