Using the bromide at observed a distinct luminosity on a zinc sulphide screen aftel the rays had passed through ten post-cards and the card of the screen (in all five mil-n™'tres).A diamond was found to be superior to in detecting these rays; thus, on covering tm bromide with a florin, no effect on the zmc sulphide could be seen, whereas a diamond glowed percep- tibly when placed on a heap of five florins (8 5 mm.) over the radium salt. A barium pJatinocyanidl screen proved to afford » •light) y more delicate t•* Iban the dianoia. ,¡,
