Capillarity.—Capillary attraction is projected by dip-ping small tubes of different bores, fixed in a slip of wood, as DEMONSTRATIONS IN PHYSICS 22* fig. 109, or two small glass plates inclined together and alsofitted at the top in a strip of wood (fig. 110), in a small tank ofwater placed on the lantern stage. The tank may be of any. Fig. 109 convenient shape, and the simple form shown in fig. Ill,where the glass plates are mounted in a wooden frame to fitthe usual slide-stage, will answer perfectly well.
