Abstract
§ 1. IN § 10 of our paper “On Electrical Properties of Fumes proceeding from Flames and Burning Charcoal,” communicated to this Society on April 5, results of observations on the leakage between two parallel metal plates with an initial difference of electric potential of 6˙2 volts between them, when the fumes from flames and burnings were allowed to pass between them and round them, were given. The first part (§§1–4) of the present short paper gives results of observations on the leakage between two copper plates I centimetre apart, when one of them is kept at a constant high positive or negative potential; and the other, after being metallically connected with the electrometer-sheath, is disconnected, and left to receive electricity through fumes between the two.
