Abstract
THE Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt, which may be aptly termed the German “National Physical Laboratory,” plays such an important part in physical science that it may not be without interest to readers of NATURE to indicate briefly a few of the more prominent questions which have been dealt with at the institution since its foundation in 1885, which, by the way, was due in great measure to Werner von Siemens. Considerable information is afforded in two articles1 recently published by members of the staff, and these papers should make interesting reading to those desiring further particulars of the work.
