Humboldt. at that time filling the
important post of Minister of the
Interior, demanded a new con-

place Of the charged conductor
is taken by an electrified cloud,
and the earth beneath serves as
the object which draws its fire"
But the strength of the dis
charge depends upon the density
of the charge on the conductor.
The charge resides upon the sur
face, and if more and more cleo
tritication is given to the same
conductor the density increases
until the strain upon the sur
rounding air becomes so great
that IT can no longer be borne,
and then a discharge takes place
through the air, which instantly
relieves the strain by lowering
the pressure.
Now, on a thunder cloud. which
