** Electric Blue-Light Experiment [47]
[Illustration: Electric Blue-light]
Take a jump-spark coil and connect it up with a battery and start
the vibrator. Then take one outlet wire, R, and connect to one
side of a 2-cp. electric lamp, and the other outlet wire, B, hold
in one hand, and press all fingers of the other hand on globe at
point A. A bright, blue light will come from the wires in the lamp
to the surface of the globe where the fingers touch. No shock will
be perceptible.

** Interesting Electrical Experiment [47]
The materials necessary for performing this experiment are:
Telephone receiver, transmitter, some wire and some carbons,
either the pencils for arc lamps, or ones taken from old dry
batteries will do.
Run a line from the inside of the house to the inside of some
other building and fasten it to one terminal of the receiver.
