Electricity from the Sea.

V At first glance there seems to be no connection liet ween the breaking of sea waves and the electrical condition of the air. Recent investigations, 'however, show that the shattering waves and the scattering of the have the effect of imparting positive electricity to the atmosphere.

This same effect, from the same cause, is noticed near waterfalls.
