Abstract
MEASUREMENT OF PLANETARY RADIATION.—W. W. Coblentz and C. O. Lampland describe their researches in this field in Lowell Observatory Bulletin, No. 85., Various screens (fluorite, quartz, water, glass) were used to isolate different regions of the spectrum; bismuth and platinum-rhodium wires were chiefly used in the thermo-couples; tellurium wire is found to be still more sensitive, but its action is slower.
