β¦ Synopsis
has experimented in a shaft with a depth of 380 metres [415"57 yds.] upon the conlpression of gases by a mercurial column. He reports three sets of experiments upon nitrogen : the first was extended to 208, the second to 330 and the third to 430 atmospheres. The results ot these three series are remarkably uniform and the curve which represents them is perfectly regular. Under the pressure of 430 atmospheres the volume of the gas is nearly a quarter greater than is indicated by Marriotte's law, which corresponds to a difference of nearly a hundred atn,ospheres.--Compt~ Rendus.
