Abstract
THE connection between the periodicity in the ionisation in closed vessels and the variation in the intensity of the electric field near the earth's surface suggested by Messrs. Campbell and Wood in NATURE of April 19 (p. 583) may readily be explained on the theory of conduction through gases if we assume that the ionisation is caused by radiation from extra-terrestrial sources.
