§ 1. The experiment described in § 14 of our paper on the “Electrification of Air and other Gases by bubbling through Water and other Liquids” (‘Roy. Soc. Proc.,’ February 21, 1895), proves that air, electrified negatively by bubbling through water and caused to pass through a metallic wire gauze strainer, gives up some, but not a large proportion, of its electricity to the-metal. We have now made a fresh experimental arrangement for the purpose of investigating diselectrification of air which has been electrified, whether positively or negatively, by other means than bubbling through water: with apparatus represented in figs. 1 and 2, which is simplified from that of our former paper by the omission of the apparatus for electrification by bubbling, and for collecting large quantities of electrified air.

These observations have been made by instruments purchased from the Government Grant Fund administered by the Royal Society. The Observatory having been comparatively recently established, the Vertical Force self-recording instrument is not yet in thorough working order. It is hoped in future to publish complete records of all three elements.

At Professor Ramsay’s suggestion, experiments were undertaken to see whether argon could be obtained from nitrogenous vegetables or from animal tissues. Method :—A few grams of the substance, after drying if necessary, were ground to a fine powder, desiccated at 110° C., until the weight was constant, and a nitrogen estimation performed by Dumas’ method. It was supposed that any argon compound would be decomposed, when the argon would come off along with the nitrogen.

Although the enquiry described in the paper, of which this communication is an abstract, has engaged my attention for the last two years, the actual experiments on which the conclusions are based were not performed until the months of September and October, 1894. Many difficulties in the construction of the apparatus had to be overcome, also the necessary standardisation of the instruments occupied my leisure time for some months. The apparatus was designed so as to enable me to perform experiments at temperatures from 10° to 60° C., and I hoped to carry out my investigations over that range.

In a paper communicated to this Society in the spring of 1894, I showed that ethylene, when subjected to heat, was converted into acetylene and methane, according to the equation 3C2H4 = 2C2H2+2CH4, and that the acetylene so formed either at once polymerised, forming a large number of secondary products, or else decomposed to carbon and hydrogen, according to the temperature at which the action was being carried on.

Having been furnished, by Professor Ramsay’s kindness, with a sample of the new gas, argon, I have carried out experiments on its behaviour at low temperatures and at high pressures, in order to contribute, at least in part, to the knowledge of the properties of this interesting body. The argon with which I was supplied had been dried with phosphoric anhydride; its density was 19⋅9 (H = 1); and Professor Ramsay thought that at the outside it might contain 1 to 2 per cent. of nitrogen, although it showed no nitrogen spectrum when examined in a Pflücker’s tube.

In the 14th of the 'Lecons sur la Physiologie et la Pathologie du Système Nerveux,’ Claude Bernard draws attention by experiments on the frog and on puppies to the degree of impairment in movement undergone by a limb that has been rendered insensitive by section of the sensory roots of its spinal nerves. In a series of experiments carried out during the last eighteen months, we have examined the same thing in the monkey, using chiefly Macacus rhesus, and observing the animals for periods up to four months from the time of operation. We propose to give here a brief account of the results obtained.

The spark spectrum of air as photographed, mapped, and described by Hartley and Adeney contains various lines which they have not been able to attribute to oxygen or to nitrogen, having no grounds for assigning them to one element or the other. The lines belonging to oxygen and nitrogen, when produced by uncondensed sparks, are comparatively well known; so also are the lines of oxygen when a condensed spark is used, but it is otherwise with the lines of nitrogen when the spark is condensed.
