The pressure by standing during a night fell to 0'017 m.m., some of the air had 
evidently become partly absorbed by the terminals, and 5840 cells would no longer 
pass. In some of the following experiments the inside of a Leyden-jar of the capacity 
of 0 - 0049 microfarad was sometimes made to communicate with the ring (negative), 
the exterior of the jar being connected to earth.

The signs -f- and — denote the name of the electrical charge at the idle wires, and 
it is seen that in many cases the charge is again negative, notwithstanding that the 
negative ring gives no deflection.
