(b) On a further elevation of the plate causing its upperedge to enter the free surface, a characteristic difference be-tween the various liquids becomes manifest, and we find, exactlyas Plateau states, I. Liquids which exhibit a considerable augmentation ofthe resistance—water and aqueous salt-solutions; II. Liquids in which a diminution of the resistance occurs—alcohol, alcoholic solutions, sulphide of carbon, oil of tur-pentine; III. Mixtures of water and alcohol, which join the oneor the other group according to the proportion of the con-stituents. (c) When the resistances of the liquids at greater depthsare compared, that of sulphide of carbon is
