The experiment furnishes conclusive evidence of the existence of the interfacial tension.

In our experiment it is the interfacial tension, C, which has been diminished in strength, as we may now prove by a second experiment.

Merely touching the upper surface of the oil with a rod moistened with quinoline has no effect, and hence the result is due to the weakening of the interfacial tension.
