condenser, and in this way found that the discrepancies were due to 

 accidental differences in the time of charge. 



Fig. 5 shows curves drawn from carbon disulphide, the only 

 variable in the circumstances for the different curves being the time 

 of charge. It will be seen that the curve corresponding to a long 

 charge is much less steep than that corresponding to a short charge. 

 Tables VIII — XI give the readings and ratios for the carbon di- 

 sulphide experiments.
