[lynde-dtjpréJ capillary LIFT OF SOILS 129 



(2) The observed capillary lifts of the soil constituents fall 

 between the calculated limits in every case except that of clay. 



Part III. 



(1) The capillary lift observed is limited by the pressure of 

 the atmosphere; 



(2) therefore the maximum lift observed by this method 

 under a pressure of one atmosphere cannot exceed 10 meters or 34 feet. 



Part IV. 



Can soils lift water to heights greater than 10 meters or 34 feet?
