AB - OS THE FORNATION OF IIERCURY FILMS. 119 XI. The .Fortnation of Mmury Film by an Electrical Process. By ROLLO APPLEYARD *, IF a sheet of‘ gelatine, damp leather, or similar permeable substance is used as a separating diaphragm between two Lodies of mercury, and a current is sent through it, a film of iiiercury is deposited upon the surface coimected to the positive pole of the battery. And the film remains on the diaphragm after rsnioval from the apparatus. If the diaphragm is replaced in the apparatus and subjected to a current in the reverse direction, the film vanishes froin tliat surface, and a second film appear3 on the other side. That is to say, the film is always on the side of the diaphragm connected to the positive pole of the battery, and there is no I film on the negative surface. In this way I have deposited mercury-films upon such different substances as filter-pnper, plaster-of-paris, Wood- bury-type-gelntine, porous earthenware, asbestos-paper, and sheep’s skin. As a rule, the only preparation of the sub- sttuxes is damping with distilled water. Asbestos mill-board is one of the best inaterials to opclrate upon.
