	All of us have seen the "Jacobs Ladder," that marvelous
toy that has the climbing arc.  I would like to build one, but
I have been unable to find cookbook instructions on its 
construction.  Obviously, I could start designing one, but
I'd rather read something about the device first.  Are there
any major constraints?  I think one is that the arc must be
fairly high current to heat the air (which causes the arc to
rise).
	I will appreciate any help in locating a reference.
Post to net.physics if you think it is of general interest,
otherwise respond to me via mail.
