极地地区的大气层比赤道地区的大气层重，那里的大气层会更低；以及由于这个原因，以及由于离心力的较小影响：因此，两极大气层上方的真空距离将比其他地方更短；……那么，云彩带入极地地区的大量电力在那里凝结，并落入雪中，这些电力将进入地球，但无法穿透冰；我想说的是，它不要突破低层大气层，在真空中飞越空中，飞向赤道吗？随着经度的增大而发散；在最密集的地方强烈可见，并且随着它的发散而变得不那么明显；直到它在气候更温和的地方找到通往地球的通道，或者与他们的高层空气混合。
The atmosphere being heavier in the polar regions, than in the equatorial, will there be lower; as well as from that cause, as from the smaller effect of the centrifugal force: consequently the distance of the vacuum above the atmosphere will be less at the poles, than elsewhere;… May not then the great quantity of electricity, brought into the polar regions by clouds, which are condensed there, and fall in snow, which electricity would enter the earth, but cannot penetrate the ice; may it not, I say, break through that low atmosphere, and run along in the vacuum over the air and towards the equator; diverging as the degrees of longitude enlarge; strongly visible where densest, and becoming less visible as it more diverges; till it finds a passage to the earth in more temperate climates, or is mingled with their upper air.
