On comparing the numbers of column IV with one an- 
other we cau trace the following effects, bearing in mind 
that the chief factors are ( 1 ) the cohesion of the water 
to itself. (2) the cohesion of the nitrate of potash to itself. 
On the addition of the first, parts of nitre { " ““ - 4 r ) 
the cohesion of the water is successively diminished. Af- 
oo oo 
tenvards ,?) 
tlie cohesion of the nitre begins to as- 
sert itself whereby the size of the drop is partly recovered. 
There is a stage of dilution in the case of nitre when the 
Sp. Gv. is 1, 1(380 where the drop size is a minimum. Further 
if is seen from column Y that the quantify of nitre in a drop
