We found that the gain of weight was about0*01 gramme per sq. centim. of exposed surface in twenty-four hours, so thatthe water absorbed in twelve hours would, if it remained on the surface, forma layer about -^^ of a millim. thick. Using a fall of 204 centimes., we found by nakedeye observation that the water absorbed in six hours did not su
