Abstract
SOME years ago I made frequent use of Mr. Liveing's very ingenious instrument, referred to in NATURE of October 30, p. 626, and I found its indications to be both accurate and excellent. The only drawback to its use in those days was the shaking which accompanied the turning of the handle to produce the glow, as this made accurate observation of the percentage of fire-damp somewhat difficult.
