It is, moreover, not a question of equilibrium we have to examine here, but the continuous emission of electricity by the metal under the influence of the electrified ball.
Nous n'avons pas d'ailleurs à nous occuper ici de son équilibre, mais de l'émission continue d'électricité par le métal, sous l'influence de la boule électrisée.

At this instant a rifle was fired, and the ball pierced both sides of the canoe, within eighteen inches of the spot where his head lay.
En ce moment un coup de feu partit, et la balle perça les deux côtés de la pirogue, à moins de dix-huit pouces de l’endroit où était sa tête.

In reality she was tasting the most exquisite pleasure; she had got that sly-boots fast at last; she played with him like a cat playing with a ball of paper; and he virtually held out his hands to be manacled by her.
Au fond, elle goûtait des jouissances exquises; elle le tenait donc enfin, ce gros sournois; elle en jouait comme une chatte joue d’une boule de papier; et il tendait les mains pour qu’elle lui mît des menottes.

These molecules unceasingly hustling against each other with the velocity of a cannon ball, without becoming heated, thanks to an elasticity supposed to be infinite, have perhaps but a very remote resemblance to the reality.
Ces molécules se choquant sans cesse avec la vitesse d'un boulet de canon, sans s'échauffer, grâce à une élasticité qu'il faut supposer infinie, n'ont peut-être qu'une très lointaine parenté avec la réalité.

Electrification by influence, by virtue of which a stick of sealing-wax which has been rubbed attracts light bodies such as a suspended ball of pith, is the most simple of electrical phenomena, and the earliest observed.
L'électrisation par influence, en vertu de laquelle un bâton de cire frotté attire les corps légers tels qu'une balle de sureau suspendue, est le plus simple des phénomènes électriques et le plus anciennement observé.

George sprang backward, – Eliza uttered a shriek, – the ball had passed close to his hair, had nearly grazed the cheek of his wife, and struck in the tree above.
Georges fit un bond en arrière, – Éliza poussa un cri, – la balle, après avoir effleuré les cheveux de son mari, avait passé près de sa joue, et s’était logée dans l’arbre au-dessus.
