TABLE 103. 121 



CORRECTION OF THE BAROMETER FOR CAPILLARITY.* 



* The first table is from Kohlrausch (Experimental Physics), and is based on the experiments of Mendelejeff and 

 Gutkowski (Jour, de Phys. Chem. Geo. Petersburg, 1877, or Wied. Beib. 1867). The second table has been calcu- 

 lated from the same data by conversion into inches and graphic interpolation. 



A number of tables, mostly based on theoretical formulae and the capillary constants of mercury in glass tubes in 

 air and vacuum, were given in the fourth edition of Guyot's Tables, and may be there referred to. They are not 

 repeated here, as the above is probably more accurate, and historical matter is excluded for convenience in the use 

 of the book.
