This current may be conducted to the body from thesolenoid itself or from a secondary spiral connected withit. It is so strong that, by mere radiation through theatmosphere, it causes an unconnected incandescent lightto glow, tho held at a considerable distance (Teslalight). 246 ELEGTR0-THEEAFEUTIC8.
