3904. Sketch of an apparatus for investigating the Influence

Dr. W. Velten, Physiologist, I. R. Station for Experiments 

 relating to Forests, Vienna. 



The apparatus consists of a box of zinc, with double partitions, the upper 

 and sides perpendicular thereto being replaced by parallel glass plates. The 

 space between the partitions must be filled with fluids, while that in the centre 

 is destined for the objects to be experimented on. The whole is surrounded 

 by a wooden cover suited to receive a refrigerator. The box is heated from 

 below, and the temperature retained constant by means of a thermo-regulator 

 brought into connexion with the apparatus. At the sides are openings into 

 which the hands should be placed, when encased in india-rubber gloves only, 

 in order to work without great change of temperature in the apparatus itself. 

 By means of the same apparatus the influence of various coloured light 

 can be determined as well as that of gas, &c. at different degrees of tem- 

 perature.
