But great as this multiplicity is, the common features of the figures also are easily discernible. "All forms of Nature are allied, though none is the same as the other; Thus, their common chorus points to a hidden law." This hidden law Plateau discovered. It may be expressed, somewhat prosily, as follows: 1) If several plane liquid films meet in a figure they are always three in number, and, taken in pairs, form, each with another, nearly equal angles. 2) If several liquid edges meet in a figure they are always four in number, and, taken in pairs, form, each with another, nearly equal angles.

It is not always that the motives of a law-maker are discernible in the form of the law he constructs. But our law admits of analysis into very simple elements or reasons.
