Using a Hilger quartz spectrograph, size C, spectrograms were made from electrodeless tubes containing helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, neon, xenon, krypton, mercury and chlorine. High frequency peak voltages were computed from the equation E=KIdλC, where K is a constant depending upon the velocity of light and the cycles per second of the generator. An electroscope was constructed and calibrated for measuring the potential over the secondary of a 25000 volt transformer. Increasing the potential over the tube for either the 60 cycle or high frequency currents seemed merely to intensify the lines. Changes in frequency from 0.58×106 to 1.91×106 produced no changes in spectra. When the potential was kept approximately constant, marked differences were obtained, however, between the 60 cycle spectra and the high frequency spectra (1) of a chlorine tube containing nitrogen as an impurity, (2) of a helium tube containing nitrogen as an impurity and (3) of a helium tube containing mercury as an impurity.
