Abstract
MR. J. C. PORTER, in a letter in NATURE of June 18, describes a method of increasing the efficiency of a Crookes' tube. I have for some weeks used another very simple method to obtain the same result. This consists in placing the flame of a small glass spirit-lamp in the angle formed by the Crookes' tube and the wire passing to the kathode, and allowing a series of small sparks to pass to the flame from the wire.
