Abstract
IN NATURE, vol. xxv. p. 347, is a description of the spectrum of carbon as found by Professors Liveing and Dewar in a Swan lamp rendered incandescent in the ordinary way. Finding one of these lamps only feebly lighted by ten pint Grove cells, it occurred to me to test it by the secondary current. The coil was nominally a 6-inch spark one, but little battery power was used, and the spark considerably reduced. One wire was connected with the filament holders, the one made into a little coil and laid on the top of the lamp.
