The latter ranged, it may he observed, between 0015 and 0'2 jjer hour, being less marked when 70 per cent. alcohol was employed than when distilled water or a solution of glucose was used. In all cases the flow of liquid by electro-osmosis was from anode to kathode, that is to say, in the direction of the current. Table I.—Electro-osmosis tlirongh various dia])hragiiis. The aiiiounts of fluid given below correspond to a sectional area of one squan- centimetre and a potential fall in the ping of one volt per centimetre. The first three experiments were mmU' with the apparatus shown in Fig. I ; the remaining exiierinients were made wUh Perrin's api)aratus, Fig. 2.
