Electricity From the Air.

A well-known inventor, Julian Ygleßlaa Blanco of Madrid, has succeeded in extracting electricity from the atmosphere by means of antennae and other apparatus. The antennae'were mounted in pairs upon a wooden tower 33 feet high, erected upon a high hill. Senor Yglesiaa’ apparatus received electricity at a pressure of 6,000 volts, which was transformed down to 160 volts. Fifteen lamps in r a house were easily lighted and maintained at full pressure during the prolonged test* The experiments will be continued, with the object of ascertaining the full capacity of the installation. Senor Yglesias states that he can obtain direot frogi the atmosphere electricity in enormous quantities at will, according to the arrangement of the installation.
