Fifth experiment. — With a view of obtaining greater deflec- 

 tions, the current conducted through the sine-compass was caused 

 to branch from two points of the circuit more distant from each 

 other than the former ones. It was, however, found that the 

 distance between the points from which the branch current was 

 conducted was too great to permit of the stronger currents being 

 read off upon the sine-compass. In these experiments, also, I 

 have to acknowledge the assistance of M. Fritzsche. We ob- 

 tained, —
