Seite 61 - CaCO, per litre. Now the analyses of waters from Michigan show a content of calcium carbonate from .175 to .250 grams per litre With this in mind it can easily be seen that the carbonated waters of our springs and marl lakes are generally far below the point of precipitation.
Seite 22 - SEGER'S PYRAMIDS. These consist of different mixtures of kaolin and fluxes, which are compounded so that there shall be a constant difference between their fusing points. Seger's series were numbered from 1 to 20, and the difference between their fusing points is 36° F. A later series, introduced by Cramer, runs from .01 to .022 with a difference of 54° F. between their fusing points. The higher numbers of the cones have also been extended up to 36. These pyramids have been recently recalibrated,...
Seite 76 - The flame should be fully 20 cm. high when burning free, and the determination should be made in a place free from draughts.

Seite 24 - ... when this temperature has penetrated the cone. It is not advisable to use a cone a second time, in case it has not bent over in a previous burning. Such cones are apt to bend at a lower temperature. In porcelain manufacture, cones of the same composition as the glaze on the ware are sometimes used. These cones can be obtained for about one cent each from Prof. E. Orton, Jr., Ohio State University, Columbus, O. SLAKING OP CLAYS.
