Extract

In the introduction a few remarks are made on the growing interest in everything connected with dust, whether it be the organic germs floating in the air, or the inorganic particles that pollute our atmosphere. Professor Tyndall's observations on the dark plane seen over a hot wire are referred to, Lord Rayleigh's recent discovery of the dark plane formed under a cold body is described, and attention called to Dr Lodge's experiments, detailed in a letter to Nature, vol. xxviii. p. 297.
