Abstract
PROF. E. WIEDEMANN has undertaken an exact calorimetric investigation of the electric discharge through gases, and in spite of the serious difficulties which he had to encounter, he has already obtained valuable and important results. As a source of electricity, Töpler's machine was used; but we must refer to the original paper for all details of experimentation.
