Abstract
MESSRS. Cawood and Patterson conclude their extremely interesting account of the behaviour of electrified aerosols with the comment:1 “The existence of such a spherical highly charged assemblage of particles suggests that globular lightning may owe its origin to an analogous effect, in which particulate matter, either liquid or solid, is charged to a very much higher potential”.
