[Scientific Miscellany 4 One of the most remarkable of elec. | trical manifestations is that known as globular or ball lightning, which is so rare that physicists have had little op- portunity of studying it. A similar phenomenon, however, has been pro | duced in the laboratory on a small scale. It has been caused accidentally on vari- Ous occasions, and, on having a piece of apparatus destroyed by one of the dis sharges, Mons. Plante. the well-known French electrivian, has been led to experiences in which a sue cessful imitation of ball light. ning has evidently been obtained. With a powerful current from secondary batteries he has produced in an air con. denser, formed of two moistened pads of filter Daper placed near to- gether a small incandescent globule, lasting some minutes, and moving slowly in a curious and most erratic path.
