Having thus either clean bars of metal, or glass tubes containing bright metal and oil, the determination of the compressibility was a simple matter. The bars were immersed in oil and the tubes were immersed in mercury in the glass jacket; and each was compressed with weighed additions or removals of mercury as before. The results are given in the table. The pressure interval from 100 to 500 kg. per square centimeter was used throughout the calculation of the results. Later a table is given show- ing in some cases the values of the compressibilities for shorter intervals, but these can not claim great accuracy. The calculation may be performed with the help of the equation given in the previous paper; but it is more simply performed in this special case in the following manner: In the first place, the difference between the weight of mercury added for 400 kg. per square centimeter when the oil and alkali metal were in the.
