Extract

That theory of capillary action, which seems to have satisfied the greater number of physicists, is founded on the assumption that the particles of a fluid are separated by distances immensely great in comparison with their magnitudes, and that these particles attract each other,—the sphere, however, of their attraction extending to a distance infinitesimally small in comparison with the observed disturbances of the fluid-level.
