He placed himself under a shade « to avoid the rain— his kite was raised — a thunder* cloud passed over it — no sign of electricity hf^ peared. He almost despaired of success, wheQi suddenly, he obser...ved the loose fibres of kb string to move towards an erect position* H# now presented his knuckle to the key, and re* ceived a strong spark.
