Abstract
IN the setting up of two-solution cells for the measurement of electromotive force, it is not easy to establish a satisfactory junction between the two liquids, so tedious and cumbersome devices, such as the agar jelly bridge, are commonly in use. The difficulty may be overcome, and stable and correct junction potentials obtained within a few seconds, by the simple device of using for the bridge a strip of filter paper, the ends of which dip into the two solutions, which may conveniently be contained in two small beakers resting on a block of paraffin wax.
