THE passage of sodium through glass under the influence of the electric discharge is well known (Burt, Phil. Mag., 49, 1168; 1925. Taylor, Jour. Scient. Instrs., 3, 12, 400; 1926). The present writer showed (loc. cit.) that with neon lamps or discharge tubes the action was reversible. If the molten sodium nitrate, which is used as electrolyte, was maintained at negative potential with respect to the internal electrodes (about 300 volts negative), then the inside glass wall became covered with negative glow. A current of many milliamperes flowed initially, but fell off with time in an almost exponential manner to a constant smaller value. Similar results were obtained with other electrolytes and with conductors such as mercury.
