lengths of the spectra produced by fluorescence ^^ and by thermo-lum- 

 inescence ^^ shows immediately that while the spectra are similar in 

 general appearance, and while the strong lines in the kathodo-spectra are 

 in about the same part of the spectrum as those in the fluorescence- 

 spectra, there are no coincidences of importance. The three lumines- 

 cences are totally diff"erent as far as the wave-lengths of the principal 

 lines are concerned. And a moment's consideration of the facts about
