B. KUCERA (Drud. Ann. vol. xi. p. 529, 1903) showed that the change of surface-tension of polarized mercury, ie, the" Electrocapillary parabola," can be very exactly determined by drop-weight. In this method, mercury dropping slowly from a glass capillary in an aqueous solution is polarized, the other electrode being the layer o [mercury covering the bottom of the vessel.In using the dropping mercury as cathode, i~ has been observed that iu neutral or alkaline solutions hydrogen is not evolved even at high pol~/rizations. This arrangement seemed thus convenient to study the cathodic deposition of the most" positive" metals, which are o~ herwise att'tcked by water. Besides the high over-voltage the dropping mercury electrode possesses other advantages: it yields in* Communic.~ ted by Prof. WC McC. Lewis.
