The production of cloud BY the action

ut soiree at the Royal society BY q. T.
r. Wilson. The beam from an arc lamp
was focused by quartz lens in tube
containing moist air free from dust. In
. few minutes q blue fog was seen te
form in the illuminated cone. and this
fog could be made to move by applying
heat to the tube locally. When the nj
tra violet rays were cut of by a sheet oi
