To turn the rheostat off and then onagain rendered the experiment repeatable. The reading ofthe meter, best adapted to success, was about 5 milliamperesthough 20 to 50 yielded good results. Unable to furnish any reason why the electric radiation ofa distant spark should reduce the resistance of pulverisedcarbon I refrained from publishing the bare observation in thehopes of finding an explanation by further experimentation,merely noting to friends the delicacy of the pulverised carbonrheostat as a detector of Hertzian waves and making some DR. MORTONS EXPERIMENTS. 113 further experiments with it and a telephone receiver in circuitin this direction. The recent publication of the brilliant researches of J. Lodge now makes the entire matter clear. describes a new form of microphonic detector ofHertzian waves, consist
