WHILE making experiments on the apparent production of neon and helium during electric discharges, I have noticed an effect which may be of interest to spectroscopists. A powerful oscillatory discharge is produced in eight or nine coils of wire from two Leyden jars, with a spark-gap of about 2 in. in parallel, connected to a large coil which is run from the main supply. Set in the coils of wire is a glass bulb of about 300 c.c. capacity provided below with a small bulb containing cocoanut charcoal, and connected by a side-tube and tap with a mercury pump. After evacuating, heating, and ``washing out,'' the bulb with hydrogen, when pure hydrogen is admitted at a fairly low pressure and the discharge is passed, the glow is bluish in colour, and shows both hydrogen and mercury spectra; but if the charcoal bulb be cooled in liquid air so that mercury vapour and any other impurities are completely removed, the glow is of a brilliant rose colour, and shows only hydrogen lines. If the pressure is reduced, however, to a value somewhere below 1 mm., there appears in the middle of the rose ring a fairly bright blue zone; and whereas the former shows both the simple and complex spectra of hydrogen, the blue zone shows nothing but the elementary line spectrum; and, moreover, the blue line λ4861 is more intense than the red line. Further reduction of pressure causes the obliteration of the blue zone by the spreading inwards of the rose ring.
