sensitive plate contained in the camera
a light and fine powder had been sifted.
SO that when the electricity was dis
charged the dust upon the plate would
be driven about by electric streams, and
at the same time the light would affect
the plate But small fraction of Sec

give the luminosity necessary to enable
it to be caught in the act of settling the
dust in connection.
