I 4 i Kridenees That It Is In the Atmosphere, Its Efl'ect Upon Individual*���The Benefits Which It Will Iu the Near Future Bestow Upon Mankind. It is a scientific fuctthat the atmosphcro oontains moi-o or less electricity at all times. Over a century ago Benjamin Franklin gave a practical demonstration of this truth by drawing a, current of electricity from thc upper atmosphere through a kite. Other-experiments of a similar nature resulted in tho death of several ex- pcr! mentors, they having unwisely lost -light ot the fact that it was necessary to Dure some protection in the shape of,insulation in case of an overcharge. These- experiments have proved beyond iloubt that electricity may bo drawn from the atmosphere by simple means, all of which have been long understood and are quite natural; moreover, we know that it U easier to obtain this current; under some atmospheric conditions Chan others Dry sir ia a nonconductor nnd moist air <i gotid jundnclorol this valuable invisible power u:d tlie greatest amount of electricity is iunnd when the atmosphere is charged to ilf-'fuJI capacity with moisture Hh-rli-ieily is shown iu tile phcnoineni; Jl* Ihuiiilei-h'.orms, in the slight, electi-dlr-a Hon in the air during clear weather and in the'aurora , During tho auroral display it has been possible, owing 10 the abundance ot electricity in the air. to uoi-k telegraph lines mil tiaiismit messages lor long distanees without the alii oi a battery The-must plausible theory 01' the aurora is th;;t of Franklin, thai it is caused Jjy eleclrie clis- "harges in the upper nil', resulting Irom UiCfci-i-bg electrical conditions of thecold air of .'tin; polar 1 em,ins and tho warmer streams of air and vapor raised from Lhe icean 'by ova] oration m tropical regions It is ge'-.ciaily understood that the clear ur above tlie earth i.-> positively eleotn!!ci! ���md' that the air at the oni-l h's surface if uogatlvul.*, electrified and its volume meas ���n-eil by Its puteiiLlal lioiu u point above' .liu.i'.'11'tb to that at. the surtaee. while llu tip between the uppei and lower layer.* -orves to keep t heoppuMtcchdi-gcsseparate It is .usually I'ntind that in-'cloudy' 01 .-ainy went net lhe eharge is ol 11 negatiu ���hanictci and witli clearing weather li jhanges to pn-iiivu. any detinue change lithe cleel Heal conditions iudicaLing tr .-liange ol weather conditions Atmosphei ie conditions must necessa ��� rily play a very essential (jart 111 the elcr rncal potential This being so uiuvrtaii. .md weather condit.iuns so changeable. 11 may never lie possible to obtain a constant lor any given elevation, but it is pos��if>h to so govern the current drawn from tin jlouds or a clear sky by passing it to c.-ii-tl. through lightning arresters or possibly re ���iistance coils that by the lime it reaches the desired point its potential would be so i-edtved as to allow its charge to be utiii/.eil in charging'storage batteries Now, it may bo said that under the most adverse conditions tho current would be found too weak to bo of value, but 1 ��� believe that even under such condition* there would bo suflicient electricity gath ered to continue- in force that previously stored without failure or loss of power provided the capacity of storing is sufficient to meet thc wants of an emorgencv ot this character This'would provide against the unstable atmospheric element, and, the periods and conditions under which its greatest vol uiiwj exists being known, extra precaution and provision niust bo made for storing for f 11 turd use. It is contended by some that the ocean affords the best facilities for gathering and 'storing this valnablo power. -I contend that, although tho ocean may be the better x-iinductor, it would bo more difficult w/ o ���.�����_�� * %s is always an easy matter, to 'carry a current to moist toil and there do the storing Besides, there ureiii addition to be gathered the cai-tli current-sand that artificially gen- crated by the tl-ousinds of dynamos, etc., which is ol itself today a vast power and is hardly utilized btiore the power is lost.

Have you ever thought of tho great volume of electricity which our atmos phero contains? We inhale with overy breath u sullicient quantity to strengthen and invigoi-ate us lt is one of tbe mest, important elements. There is an ebb .. ind. flood w-avo to our atmosphere which is similar in its action to the tides of the; ocean. Its maximum pressure oe curs at certain hours of the day and night and its minimum at opposite hours When the pressure U at its minimum the electrical force of our bodies is least, anal at such times we are greatly enervated | and weakened, and at periods of excessive luinn.lity similar effects in our physical condition 'may. bo observed.. .'When..the ut- mosphero is, thoroughly saturated,1 it is a more, perfect conductor, and tho current readily leaves us for that offering the least resistance. All these forces tend to show .ind prove that, there is an electrical dis charge from i��io substance to another, and fully demonstrates that it needs but the oest conductor to gather aiul 11 proper ra cept.-.cle to store the electric fluid whicij constantly surrounds us Several experimenters, are already em ployed in devising a plan for gathering and storing atmospheric electricity, and I am, confident from tho progress already attained in this lino that it will not bo many years before atmospheric electricity can be properly stored and utilized, taking the place of nil lighting, heating and motor power employed at the present day The possibilities mill uses to which thii power may bo applied are innumerable I ox pec t to seo it used in every house in as ,'mpio n manner as gas or water, so that ,t shall be within the reach of the pour as well as the wealthy The earth and atmosphere were given to men. mice and bugs for useful purposes; the earth has responded to many of their w.in ts. and now, as scionc:1 progresses and we are becoming more enlightened, the possibilities of atmospheric t|tialities and iiuuntities are open for experiment.���R ii Dunn in North American Review ' Jtseii slept in one1 berth.
