A bolt jumps from a cloud to earth when the atmospheric electrical tension becomes stronger than the resistance of the air between. The air resistance depends upon its ionization, and the ionization-Professor L. N. Bogoiavlensky assumes-depends on buried radioactive rocks and the electro-conductivity of the earth above. Hence he and his assistants go about with meters to register such radio-activity and electro-conductivity...
