explode when under a pressure of Y0 mm or less. Dixon* found 

 that a mixture of cyanogen and oxygen exhibits a similar 

 deportment and that it is exploded by a strong but not by a 

 feeble spark. Hautefeuille and Chappiusf state that hydro- 

 gen is indifferent when oxygen is ozonized, and BerthellotJ 

 found that two volumes of hydrogen and one of oxygen 

 did not combine under the influence of the current (l'effleuve) 

 and that ozone was formed. These observations do not 



accord with mine and the different results may be due to 

 different conditions of experiment. The glow discharge in 

 the apparatus described later causes the slow combination of 

 hydrogen and oxygen, during which very little ozone is formed.
