Abstract
M. GARBE has laid down the two following laws in connection with Lipmann's capillary electrometer:—(1) The capillarity constant of mercury is greatest when the electrical difference at the meniscus is nil, and, as a rule, its value is independent of the sign of this difference. (2) The electrical capacity at a con stant surface of an electrode plunged in a liquid is purely a function of the electrical difference, independent of the sign of that difference, and is least when that difference is nil.
