Abstract

1. A description of a simple method of demonstrating electric lines of force around a charged body is given.

2. The instability of liquid surfaces in an electric field is used to obtain an idea of the order of magnitude of the charge developed on tourmaline on cooling through about 140° C.

3. A new method of measuring the electric moment of tourmaline is described.
