Abstract
THE fact that air is made conductive by flame, by ultraviolet light, by Röntgen rays, and by the presence of bodies at a white heat has been shown experimentally by many experiments. We propose in this communication to give some results bearing on this conductivity of air, based chiefly on experiments of our own.
