current. Substances like glass, however, be-
come soft and plastic when heated sufficiently
to make them conducting, and so could not be
suitably used in place of the Nernst glover for
shape even under the intense heat and con-
veniently serves for the study of many high
temperature effects on a small scale. Thus,
small particles of gold, palladium. and even
platinum, easily melted into little globules
on their surface, and by increasing the current,
and hence the temperature, sufficiently, it
IS possible not only to melt but actually to
volatlize or evaporate such extremely re-
fractory metals as rhodium and iridium in
this way.
When the vision is aided by hand magni-
her or other low power microscope such melted
globules on the Nernst glover show extreme
ly interesting and curious actions. When
heated considerably above its melting point of
nineteen hundred and forty eight degrees Fab
renheit the gold globule for instance, shows
signs of violent agitation Curious whrls de-
velop on its surface, and sometimes the whole
drop seems to be spinning. 1t is fascinating to
watch the ever changing effects, and no one
with imagination can escape the feeling that
here on a microscopic scale is a world in its
molten condition, turning on its axis. The very
curious motions that are to be observed with
particles of cobalt (solid rather than molten)
and some other metals, have already been de-
scrlbed IN these pages.
Moreover, these molten globules exhibit in
Deautl1ul way what is known as the phenom-
enon of undercooling." 1t is a matter of COM
mon observation that water in small vessels,
when not disturbed, will still keep fluid at tenn
peratures considerably below the freezing point
If it is stirred or if small piece of ice is dropped
in, qualification starts at once and the whole
rises rapidly to the freezing point. The amount
of UNDERGOING possible varies greatly with the
circumstances, being limited usually to few
degrees; but in of these globules it has
been observed that they may remain molten
even if cooled several hundred degrees below
their normal melting points. When this is car
ried too far, however. qualification suddenly
occurs, accompanied by a little flash of light
probably due to the sudden rise of tempera-
ture, and roughening corrugation Of the
surface. L. r. IngersoH

MOST substances have the common prop
AvA erty of being better conductors of cleo
tric1ty when cold than when hot. Thus, while
copper is ordinarily much better conductor
than iron, copper wire at bright red heat
would not be much better in this respect than
iron wire at ordinary temperatures. Con-
versely, iron by cooling to liquid air tempera-
ture, may become almost efficient carrier
of current as copper under usual conditions
and if it was feasible to cool transmission wires
cables, etc, with liquid air the cheaper metal
might even be used in place of copper.
certain class of substances however, of
which glass is an example are insulators under
ordinary conditions, but lose this property and
become conducting when heated to redness
The Nernst glover IS the most interesting ex-
ample of this. 1t is little tube or rod COM
posed of ox1ds of certain of the rare chemical
elements such as chromium, and, when heated
by the electric current to its normal tempera-
ture OF some four thousand degrees Fahrenheit
or over, gives out the intense white light that is
characteristic of the Nernst lamp.
While at this high temperature the glover is
fair conductor of electricity; but it has this
curious property of being insulating under
ordinary conditions and of requiring heating to
make 1t conducting. In the commercial type
OF this lamp the preliminary heating, which
may be observed whenever such lamp is
turned on, is done by the aid of little special
electrical heating devices placed very near the
glowers; but for many scientific purposes
1t is convenient to have single glover mounted
IN as simple form as possible, and in such cases
it is easy to start it with an ordinary match
This suffices to bring it to low red heat, where
it begins to become conducting and quickly
comes up to its normal dazzling brilance.
Conversely, since it loses its conducting prop
erty on cooling, if it be vigorously blown at it
may be cooled to such an extent as to become
practically nonconducting. and so go out
Hence. we have the curious spectacle of an
