<hw>E*lec`tro-ther"man*cy</hw> <tt>(?)</tt>, <tt>n.</tt> <def>That branch of electrical science which treats of the effect of an electric current upon the temperature of a conductor, or a part of a circuit composed of two different metals.</def>

<h1>Electro-tint</h1> <Xpage=478>

<hw>E*lec"tro-tint`</hw> <tt>(?)</tt>, <tt>n.</tt> <fld>(Fine Arts)</fld> <def>A style of engraving in relief by means of voltaic electricity. A picture is drawn on a metallic plate with some material which resists the fluids of a battery; so that, in electro-typing, the parts not covered by the varnish, etc., receive a deposition of metal, and produce the required copy in intaglio. A cast of this is then the plate for printing.</def>
