This screen wasaced 20 cm. from the eye. Between this screen and theUS L. was inserted a small strip of metal, D, the inner edgewhich was carefully beveled. When adjusted to the posV)n used in making the photometric observation, this bisected the photometric field. The surface of this strip^is kept freshly coated with magnesium oxide deposited fromU burning metal. This surface received the light from the^mdard lamp; the other half of the field was filled with lightl)m the spectroscope. The spectroscope and lens systemvre shielded from the standard lamp by suitable screensJ e photometric balance was obtained as follows. The stand-^1 lamp, a seasoned 32 cp. carbon lamp giving the color valuenhe carbon standard of watts per spherical candle, was^ at the position on the bar required to give the desiredi-nsity of light in the photometric field, and the intensity ofcolored light fill
