Abstract
WHILE a Crookes' tube discharges an electroscope charged with positive or negative electricity, when negative most rapidly, I have found with several of the ordinary spectrum tubes, particularly one containing oxygen, and another hydrogen, that these tubes produce the Röntgen rays, but act differently upon a charged electroscope. When the charge is positive, the leaves collapse immediately; when negative, they open out still further.
