Remarks on Light nhig Rods. cj9 



Perhaps, in fome particular flates of the atmofpherc, fuch a 

 rod might afTifl in refloring the equilibrium of the fluid 

 among xhtjfrata differently affecled, by its entering at one 



place in the rod, and efcaping at another, while the earth re- 

 mained neutral. 



If you think, that any thing can be collected from thefe 



■ L 



hints to improve the ele(5lrical rod, I am willing they fliould 

 be communicated to the American Academy of Arts and Sci- 

 ences for their confideration.
