โฆ Synopsis
Action of Light upon 0xygen.--J. Dessans has contrived a,~ apparatus for governing the admission of the radiations fl'om a Drumnlond light into a jar of oxygen, and he concludes, from experiments which he has frequently repeated, that light effects a direct transformation of oxygen into ozone. In the course of his experiments he sometimes used the oxygen as pure as possible, and in other cases lm introduced substances which are easily oxidizable, so that they might readily combine with the ozone. Both methods of experimenting led to the same result.---La Nature.
