✦ Synopsis

Arse~dc in Wine.

469 inclined against it at their upper extremities. The current raises the chalk to a temperature similar to that of the arc itself, and increases the conductibility sufiqciently to maintain the arc and avoid sudden extinctions. The incandescence of the chalk cannot vary so rapidly as the current, so that the prism serves as a fly-wheel, absorbing the heat of' the are, transfi~rming it into light by its own incandescence, and distrilmting the light with great regularity.--Les Jfondes, September 8, 1883.
