Abstract
IN NATURE of May 16 (p. 55), Mr. Bowlker describes some “curious” and, as he believes, “rare electrical phenomena” which occurred to him and a friend on the Welsh mountains. Such phenomena are rare only because competent observers are so. The effects described are by no means uncommon, and they may be classed under the brush discharge and the glow, the one being an interrupted, and the other a continuous, discharge to the air.
