phosphoresce

As waves phosphoresce, let joys flash from the swing of the sorrow of your souls.

But from numerous experiments I find that bodies will phosphoresce in actual contact with the negative pole.

I took a screen made of zincblende, which will phosphoresce when the emanations of radium fall upon it.

The question presents itself here, can a conductor phosphoresce?

Its dead color brightens considerably under the molecular impact, but I am now convinced it does not phosphoresce.
