ACTION OF ULTRA-VIOLET RAYS ON THE PASSAGE OF ELECTRICITY OF LOW TENSION THROUGH AIR. _Comptes Rendus._ CVI, pp. 1,349 to 51. ’88.—They employed arc lamps whose carbons had aluminum cores. 99_H_. NACARRI’S EXPERIMENT. THE DISSIPATION OF ELECTRICITY THROUGH THE ACTION OF PHOSPHOROUS AND THE ELECTRIC SPARK. _Atti di Torino._ XXV, pp. 252 to 257. ’90.—The loss of charge was eighteen times less rapid in the dark through the air in a bottle, than when a piece of luminous phosphorous was placed in the bottle. The introduction of turpentine, which checked the glowing of the phosphorous, retarded the loss of charge.

R._ CX, pp. 898 to 901. ’91.—A positive charge was dissipated, and by a peculiar arrangement of the plates, screens, etc., and with particular materials, he was able to show that the rates of loss of a positive and negative charge were about equal. Numerous tests were instituted. If he is not mistaken, how closely related are X-rays and light. § 90. Those who wish to more thoroughly investigate this matter and verify the same, should study these experiments more in detail in connection with Schuster’s and Anpenius’ experiments (§ 99_B_), whose arrangement of the plates was the same as those of Branly. 99_J_.

ACTINO-ELECTRIC INVESTIGATIONS. _Jour. d. Russ. Phys. Chan. Ges._ (7-8) XXI, pp. 159 to 207.—It is necessary that the rays of light should be absorbed by the charged surface before having the discharging influence. § 99_E_. All metals are subject to the action, and also the aniline dyes. Two plates between which there is a contact difference of potential generate a current so long as the negative plate is illuminated. The effect is increased with the increase of temperature and is only found in gases, and is therefore of the nature of convection. He determined these principles by continuous work for two years. It should be remembered that in all these researches, the arc light is preferable, because the ultra-violet spectrum is six times as long as that given by the sun. 99_N_. MEBIUS’ EXPERIMENT.
