After the mica hadmoved in one, a small quantity of chloride of sodium wasdissolved in it. The current became stronger, but the electro-static field became weaker and the mica showed hardly anytrace of movement. Tinfoil floating in the water and replac-ing the mica behaved in the opposite way. The authorintends to make the third experiment in rarefied gases, whereby ionization the electrostatic tubes may also coincide withthe tubes of current, but where the influence of the staticallines upon the walls will also come into account. Fourth Experiment.—A mica pendulum (fig. 5) movableround a light axis of glass is placed between the termiuals of aHoltz machine with the axis parallel to the line joining the Fk\ 0*K
