Abstract :
(1) Some of the simpler fundamental experiments on the electrical conductivity of the air are described. (2) The theory of ionization in gases is outlined in nontechnical language. (3) Townsend\´s proof that the law of corona forming intensity 
is in accord with the theory of ionization by collision, is explained.
