The London, Edinburgh and Dublin philosophical magazine and journal of science . In the experiments at the foot of the Falls, it was foundthat with these insulators a wire could be easily maintainedat a potential of 10,000 volts for hours even in a drenchingspray. The exposed wire was tested for induced radioactivity bymeans of the apparatus shown in fig. 2. A is a galvanized ironcylinder about 30 cms. high and 20 cms. in diameter, restingon an insulated platform and having a movable cover pro-vided with a flanged opening into which was fitted an eboniteplug about five centimetres in diameter.

A brass tube Cwas passed through this plug and into it a second ebonite plugwas tightly fitted. This second plug carried a brass rod Dfrom which B a brass reel was suspended, and on this reel Phil.

The brass tube C, whichwas earthed throughout the measurements, served as a guard-ring and prevented any leak from the vessel A to the rod Dacross the ebonite pl
