Perform the same experiment when the ball C is taken off: the charge will pass quietly through the point, and both slips will remain in their place. Exp. 2. The electric bomb.--A cavity is made in a A D B block of wood C, and closed by a cork D; two wires A and B pass into this cavity, having their points about a quarter of an inch asunder. Now connect the knob B with the exterior coating of a jar or battery; and with the knob of the discharging rod in contact with the knob A, discharge the jar or battery, and the cork will be forcibly projected from the cavity. Fill up the cavity with sand; transmit a charge through it; and the passage of the spark will disperse the sand in all directions. Exp. 3.

Connect the extremity B with the outside coating of a charged jar; place the knob Fig, go. C of the jointed discharger opposite to the point, then discharge the jar, and the spark in its passage through the glass will make a hole.

To break wood and glass.--Transmit a strong charge through a stick of wood, in the direction of its fibres, about half an inch thick: the wood will be split.
