โฆ Synopsis
During investigation$ on the acidity of bog waters, it was observed that the pH of such waters ranged from 3.83 t o 4.95 and that the dominant cause of the acid condition of the water was not due t o carbonic acid but to the colloidal material in the water1). The experiments reported below show that the acidity of dilute salt solutions was increased by the addition of small portions of dead sphagnum.

An experimental study of the spreading and dissolving of thin liquid films under the action of surface forces is presented. The method consists of the continuous feeding of a liquid over the surface of another liquid into which it dissolves; the steady film thus obtained covers only a part of the su
