platinum plate be suspended in these vapors, it is positively 
electrized; when, however, later, ozone predominates, the plate 
becomes negative.”—pp. 266-7. 
We have not space to give, in full, Meissner’s interesting the- 
oretical discussion of this topic, which occupies a number of 
ages of his book, but must confine ourselves chiefly to recount- 
thus formed be briskly agitated after a little water has been in- 
troduced within it, the PO, is shortly absorbed; but the mist 
caused by antozone remains. When a current of air, charged 
with the products of the rapid combustion of phosphorus, is 
transmitted through stron se eile a and then through water, 
the phosphoric acid is mostly retained ; but the cloud is increased 
in quantity and density. Meissner detected no formation of 
HO, in this case. 
Since all the ozone produced when phosphorus burns rapidly
