Abstract
Annalen der Physik und Chimie, xix., part 4.—Electrical experiments: electric pressure on solids, by G. Quincke. This paper forms a continuation to a series of experiments in electrostatics published by the author in previous numbers of the Annalen, under the title of “Electric Expansion.” It is illustrated with twenty-six cuts, and will be followed by a communication on the resistance of insulating fluids to electric force.— On electric disturbance at contact of gases with bodies in combustion, with four illustrations, by Julius Elste and Hans Geitel. The authors arrive at the general conclusion that all flames may be regarded as streams of hot gas, which generate negative electricity in burning electrodes introduced from without, as well as in small bodies in combustion suspended in them. —On electric vibration, and more especially on the phenomena of polarisation produced by vibratory movements, with four illustrations, by A. Overbeck.—On the dependence of gases as heat conductors on the state of the temperature, with three illustrations, by A. Winkelmann.—On the fundamental equations of E. Ketteler's theory of optics, by W. Voigt. The author shows that, so far from flowing from the principles of the doctrine of elasticity, Ketteler's fundamental equations are diametrically opposed to them.
