No jars are employed in this form of administrationof static electricity. The indirect spark is more commonly employed than the direct,one pole being attached, in this case, to the insulated platform, the other being grounded bya brass chain, and the electrode being grounded by a chain attached to a gas-pipe, a water-faucet, or the like. The term ?? priTnarij current is often used as sjmon^-mous with thegalvanic. It is incorrectly applied l)y some authors to that faradaiccurrent which is induced by the magnetizing and demagnetizing of thesoft-iron core of the helix. Static electricity is derived from friction, A revolving plate, orby preference several plates, of glass may be employed as a electricity is sometimes called frmiklinism. This form of curren
