The WeIght Of Drops.

Boymond has lately published an in.
teresting article on tho weight OF drops.
1t is well known that the weight de-
ponds upon the exterior diameter Of the
dropping tube, the interior diameter
having no influence except on the
velocity of the flow. The nature OF the
liquid determines the weight, whatever
may be the proportion Of the dissolved
material it may contain. Boymond used
dropper OF one-eighth OF an inch
diameter, and determined the weight by
very delicate balance The mean OF
his results gave: For Is grains OF
distilled water, 20 drops; alcohol OF 90
deg, 50 drops; alcoholic tinctures from!
60 to 90 deg, SO to 81 drops; ethereal
tincture, 81 drops; fatty oils, about 4S
drops: Violate oils, so drops; aqueous
solutions, whether diluted or saturated.
20 drops; wine, Ss to 95 drops, and
laudanum. about 80 to % drops. Science.

WASHINGTON, Sept l2.-The Raum in
vestigation committee met this morning
at the pension building for the purpose OF
taking the testimony Of l3s clerks who, il
was charged, received promotions by
reason of their purchasing stock in the

any clerks for examination for the fol-
lowing reason: General Raum requested
the committee to subpoena every cmploye
OF the pension department who had been
promoted under his administration Of Of
flee, to disprove the charge that any such
employees have purchased or held stock in
the Universal Refrigerator company, or
had been promoted by reason thereof.

their opinion, judging from the evidence
alreadytaken, be a useless consumption
of time and a needless expense.
The committee then adjourned.

minor bills were taken from the calendar
and passed.

land forfeiture bill was taken up, and
Morgan continued his argument in oppo-
sition.

was excused from the conference COM
mittee on the tariff bill and Voorhees, sub
stituted.
Morgan was followed by Sanders, in IA.
vor of the conference report, the main
point OF his contention being that lands
when patented TO railroad companies
could not be taken from them because
they turned out 10 be mineral lands.
Hearst took contrary view aud insisted
that mineral lands were specially re-
served by the original grants.
Sanders said in the courts of Washing

the United States the term mineral
lands" had been held 10 mean lands COM
mercially valued for mining purposes.
