Abstract
The experiments to be described fall into two classes; the first series relates to the distance through which electric sparks from an induction coil will strike through argon and through helium at atmospheric pressure contrasted with the length of the spark-gap in other gases; and also with the pressures at which the spark-discharge changes into a ribbon-like discharge in different gases.
