Abstract
LOOKING to the south and south-east from the Bel Alp, the play of silent lightning among the clouds and mountains is sometimes very wonderful. It may be seen palpitating for hours, with a barely appreciable interval between the thrills. Most of those who see it regard it as lightning without thunder—Blitz ohne Donner, Wetterleuchten, I have heard it named by German visitors.
