Abstract
A RESULT published by Dr. Aschkinass, to the effect that the electrical resistance of thin metallic sheets like tinfoil is affected by the impact of radiation (electric waves), is often quoted; but, so far as I know, it has not been confirmed. My own experience tends to disprove it; but if any one has succeeded in confirming it, perhaps they would give us the benefit of the information. It is easy, of course, to get spurious effects with bad joints, in accordance with the discovery of Branly; and I see in your “Notes” (p. 60) to-day, that a Japanese experimenter, Mr. Mizuno, is of the same opinion.
