demarcation can be drawn between the two ; such divisions are some- 

 what arbitrary. In the case of tin cell we have the two wires 

 originally alike. When one wire is vibrated a difference of potential 

 is observed between the strained and unstrained wires, the P.D. dis-

appearing when the acted wire recovers from the strain. We may 

 describe the same fact in chemical language by saying that owing to 

 strain there is a tendency of the strained wire to become chemically 

 more active (zinc-like), such tendency lasting only as long as it takes 

 the wire to recover from the strained condition. 



6. Increased Effect with Increasing Intensity of Vibration. 



In fig. 13 are given the curves of response for single vibration, 

 having amplitudes of 90°, 180°, and 360°, the period being "5 second. 

 It will be noticed that the intensity of response increases with the 

 energy of vibration.
