Abstract
IN the number of the American Journal of Science for March 1881, there appeared an article descriptive of the actinic balance (since called the Bolometer), an instrument which has gained acceptance among physicists as a useful aid in the study of radiant heat. It was, it may be remembered, originally devised by the writer to discriminate the heat in any small portion of the grating spectrum, but it has since found wider applications.
