Page 9 - When stored away it is best to cover the solution with a layer of oil about an eighth of an inch thick. This will prevent evaporation and the forming of a crust on the material. The material should not be stored where the temperature may go very low.
Page 16 - Beaume), to get a spray of 1-03 density we divide the -27 by -03 and obtain 9, which is the number of dilutions required, and which, of course is obtained by adding eight volumes of water. In this we are simply applying the general fact that the density of the solution heavier than water varies inversely with the number of dilutions.

Page 2 - ... are dealing with differences too large to be accidental and too important to be ignored in the practical computation of rations. Furthermore, these results show that the only safe basis for a comparison of the values of feeding stuffs is the actual experiment upon the animal, in which the real gain or loss of flesh and fat is accurately determined. In other words, the only way to ascertain the nutritive effect is to actually determine it. Finally, the table by its brevity shows the need of further...

Page 10 - Each pound of coal fed into the fire box is capable of evolving a certain amount of heat, representing its fuel value in the above sense, and that heat is capable of producing a certain quantity of steam. A definite fraction of the latter, however, is required to introduce the next pound of coal into the fire box and therefore is not available for driving the main engine. As already noted, the expenditure of energy in this way has been the subject of considerable investigation, notably by Zuntz and...
Page 9 - The amounts of water indicated above are ample for one hour's fairly vigorous boiling, with the finishing volumes as indicated. If it is not at the desired height at the close, it may be made so by more water or more boiling, ( and either the amount of water in the third addition or the vigor of boiling can be so modified in later trials as to enable the total to be brought to the desired height approximately at the end of the hour. The finished product may be immediately poured or strained into...
Page 15 - ... stone lime. If this slaking is properly done, the arsenic will be combined very effectively, and the arsenite of lime thus formed will retain its strength indefinitely. When ready for use, add water to the product to bring the total up to two gallons, and stir thoroughly. Two pints of the well-stirred, uniform mixture will then evidently contain one-eighth of the original materials or one-fourth pound of white arsenic, in the form of arsenite of lime, which is equal to one-half pound of paris...
