Similar experiments have been made by various philosophers, by substituting decomposable liquids for mercury ; but then the luminous and calorific effects are complicated by electro- chemical phenomena ; but we postpone the study of these to the following Chapter. u 3 294 TKANSMISSION OF ELECTEICITY. PART iv. It is also to the difference of temperature of the two elec- trodes, that Mr. Gassiot's curious experiment must be at- tributed, in which, when placing two wires across, for instance coppe...r wires, that are in communication with the poles of a powerful pile, the positive wire is perceived to become red for a distance of a couple of inches beyond the crossing point, even till fusion occurs ; whilst the negative is incandescent only in the portion traversed by the current. It is evident that in this instance, there is at the point of con- tact, a commencement of the formation of the voltaic arc, the more so as, on separating the wires a little from each other, the arc appeared between them.
