There has been very moderate weather 
these 12 days. The pith balls have 
been variable, between null, and one 
inch open. 
There has been a constant drizzling 
rain, with a strong gale of wind, from 
early in the morning to seven o’clock 
P.M.; the wind then became a storm 
The rod had been null to this time, but 
now gave signs of a negative charge, 
and continued increasing its charge un- 
til near nine o’clock ; at this time the 
storm seemed to be at its height. The 
wind now suddenly shifted from SW to 
N : every appearance is now awful ; the 
pith balls diverge to their utmost li- 
mits, and are very much agitated ; and 
the bell rang for half a minute. Half an 
hour after nine o’clock, the storm 
ceased ; and the charge in the rod be- 
came very weak. During the space of 
two hours the electricity changed six 
times. 
A.M. 
From five to eight o’clock A.M. there 
was a storm of wind and rain. The 
electricity changed once only. 
P.M. A showery day.
