Page 186 - President, in the chair. The following were elected Fellows of the Society : — Mr.
Page 368 - The electric state of the gases was examined by leading them into an insulated inductor, connected to one pair of quadrants of an electrometer. The other pair of quadrants, the case of the electrometer, and the screen inside which the inductor was placed, were connected to earth.

Page 150 - The most peculiar effect was a complete loss of time-relation ; time seemed to have no existence. I was continually taking out my watch, thinking that hours must have passed, whereas only a few minutes had elapsed. This, I believe, was due to a complete loss of memory for recent events.
Page 183 - ... earth in all probability slightly exceeds that of steel. In a remarkable paper " On the Period of the Earth's Free Eulerian Precession," read to the Cambridge Philosophical Society, May 25, 1896, Professor Larmor showed how to estimate the effect of the elastic yielding of a rotating solid on the period and character of the free precession of its axis of rotation, and again confirmed the high effective rigidity of the earth from another point of view. The observed prolongation of the Eulerian...
Page 126 - ... determined if the capacity of the system is known. The effective capacity of the system consisting of the discharging vessel, the connecting wires, and the quadrants of the electrometer depends to a large extent on the charge in the electrometer, and increases so quickly with the charge that the rate of movement of the spot of light reflected from the mirror of the electrometer increases but slowly when the charge in the electrometer is increased beyond a certain value. The reason for this is...
Page 12 - B up to the narrowest part (diameter 0.80 in.), and then made conically divergent to the discharging end. The results of the experiments are given in the following table : The fact that B discharges more than A is very noticeable...
Page 187 - PRESIDENT, IN THE CHAIR. The following was elected a Fellow of the Society : AL Bennett, BA, Christ's College.
