TNa series of experiments carried on at Ryerson Physical Labora--^ tory, University of Chicago, during the winter of 1 899-1900, some interesting results were obtained regarding the effect of high temperatures on the change of resistance of bismuth wire in a magnetic field. The experiments were originally undertaken simply to determine the allowable temperature variations in the ordinary form of commercial spiral, as used in measuring field strengths. As the results soon showed, however, that at the higher temperatures the change of resistance curve varied greatly from its mean temperature form, the experiments were carried on much beyond the originally set limits. A few of the results, together with a short description of the method employed in forming the spirals, are appended in the following article.No. i.]
