WE have recently made a few experiments bearing on the phenomena exhibited by Mr. C. E. Benham's artificial spectrum top (see NATURE, November 29, 1894, p. 113), and the explanation of them suggested by Prof. Liveing (NATURE, December 13, 1894, p. 167), and have obtained results which we believe to be novel and of some scientific interest.
