Bayonne Scientist Demonstrates Telegraphic Use Of Atmospheric Electricity
William A. Eddy reports in the New York Herald a Bayonne experiment using atmospheric electricity to telegraph without batteries or magnetism. A three-wire, ladderlike setup with kites reached 1,000 feet and transmitted signals instantaneously between ground stations and an elevated ring device, with grounding to reset sparks. Eddy suggests the static force could be captured at mountaintop discs to electrify lines westward, using attraction and repulsion with delicate instruments.
