comes upon the conducting wire of the telegraph, is transmitted to the ground through the points with which the ring is armed. Such an apparatus is to be erected at each station ; experiment has proved to the author, that when the discharge of a battery of eight jars is passed into a telegraphic conductor provided with this apparatus, the dynamic current is not affected, and all the statical electricity passes into the earth, under the influence of the points. M. Becquerel in presenting the apparatus, expressed the desire that it should be immediately experimented on, on a large scale, on our tele~ graphic lines.--Comptes Rendus de l'2]cademie des Sciences, (Paris,) 15th May, 1854. p. 877.
