IV. Experimental investigations on the stratified appearance in electrical discharges.—Effect obtained by varying the resistance

1. In the ‘Proceedings of the Royal Society,’ May 26, 1859, I have stated that, “on attaching the terminals of my water-battery (Phil. Trans. 1844, p. 39) to the wires of a carbonic acid vacuum-tube, inserted about 2 inches apart, I obtained a stratified discharge similar to that of an induction coi...

Summary:1. In the ‘Proceedings of the Royal Society,’ May 26, 1859, I have stated that, “on attaching the terminals of my water-battery (Phil. Trans. 1844, p. 39) to the wires of a carbonic acid vacuum-tube, inserted about 2 inches apart, I obtained a stratified discharge similar to that of an induction coil.”
