3. Deflagration of Metal Foil. 4. Ignition experiments. 5. Lighting Gas. 6. Exploding Fuses, and Firing Electric Pistols or Mortars. Besides these, the following experiments may also be performed. 1. Charging Leyden Jars. Leyden jars, as first seen by the amateur electrician, student of electricity, and experimenter in scientific subjects, appear to be an ingenious contrivance for bottling electricity under pressure. It would seem as if an electric fluid was injected in small quantities from an... electric machine into a jar, and held there under pressure, much the same as mineral waters, ginger beer, lemonade, etc., are held under pressure in glass bottles. Such, how- ever, is not the case. Whatever electricity may be, it is not a fluid in itself, nor can it be said to be held in a Leyden jar under pressure, since the tension or pressure is the same in jars of all sizes, and no method of pumping, or other method of compressing fluids, has yet been found to increase the tension of an electric charge.
