The trials wereburned to cone 12^2 ^^d punctured under transformer oil (Fig. 2),the voltage being increased gradually by a rheostat. As soonas the trial was punctured, the current was immediately broken. The thickness at the point of puncture was measured bya micrometer. Five to ten trials made of the same thicknesswere punctured in each case. Whenever puncture took place 1 An abstract of work done in 1909-10 in partial fulfilment of requirements for M. in Ceramics at the University of Illinois, under supervision of R. T.
