Everybody knows that an are light
Is formed hy causing an electric cur
rent to pass between the points of two
carbon rods. One of these Is called
the positive and the other the mega
tive elcctrode, and the current passes
from the former to the latter. parti-
cles of carbon are carried ON from the
positive electrode until its end be-
tones cup shaped
To the little cup thus formed the
name of crater Is applied, end from
this crater four-tifths of the light Is
emitted. The negative electrode does
not become SO hot as the other. Be-
tween the two little cloud of vapor-
lied carbon is formed, rising from the
crater. and this vapor gives forth
golden yellow light But 1t Is over
powered by the Hight OF the crater IT
self. which has Il violet tinge due to the
lneandescence of solid particles of car

one electrode 10 the other also has an
axis of violet color which Is its most

the luminosity comes from the crater
