gers ofthese jars sparks, whose strength and size grow with thepower of the Euhmkorff apparatus. These sparks, how-ever, it has been proved, are not uniform streaks oflight, but rather consist of innumerable, very rapid, in-visible oscillations. Now, if the outer covering of theLeyden jars is connected with a solenoid (a short spiralof thick copper wire), there is produced in this latter acurrent with just as many interruptions as the leapingspark has oscillations; for every one of the hundredthousand oscillations per second which result means aninterruption of the current circulating in the solenoid.Consequently, the current tension in the solenoid risesto from 100,000 to 1,000,000 volts. This current may be conducted to the body from thesolenoid itself or from a secondary spiral connected withit. It is so strong that, by mere radiation through theatmosphere, it causes an unconnected incandescent lightto glow, tho held at a considerable distance (Teslalight). 246 ELEGTR0-THEEAFEUTIC8
