They w^ere discovered by Gold-stein, long after the cathode rays were well called them canal rays, in allusion to the factthat they were obtained through a channel in thecathode. It has been found that the canal rays, like thecathode rays, are deflected by a magnet; this deflec-tion is in the opposite direction to that of the cathoderays, and is far smaller. A magnetic form sufficientto curl up the cathode rays into a very small circlewould scarcely deflect the canal rays to any measur-able extent. Canal rays, too, are deflected by anelectro-static field, in the opposi
