What Prof Warder Talked About Before the

Prof. Robert Warder OF the Howard Univer-
sity faculty delivered the annual address be-
fore the Chemical Society last evening as
its retiring president, in accordance with an
established custom. The society met for that
purpose in the Assembly Hall CT the Casino
Club. Prof. Wardcr chose for his topic the
phrase "A lump of salt and a glass of water

and figures of the most intense interest to the
chemist. On the speakers desk were samples
substances Of which he treated and O. the

symbols and the sketches OF a couple OF expert

consideration OF the Osmotic pressure OF
liquids or the tendency to pass through porous
partitions and mix or become diffused with
each other, utilized n means of determin-
ing the molecular weights.
The speaker advanced the theory that on
this principle depends much of the health of
nature, both animal and vegetable, as there is a
certain limit to the osmotic force that can be
eXerted upon cells floating in liquids-such as
the glObuies or corpuscles in the blood-with.

must be maintained i'll some cases and a certain
exercise OF pressure in others or life fails The
action OF sap In tie tree and the coloring OF
leaves are due to the preservation Of steady,
normal pressure by osmotic force.
Salt and its compounds, when dissolved in
water. the speaker asserted, is in reality less OF
a solution than nigh. be supposed, for there
are chemical actions going on that make the
substances separate and maintain themselves
in a dual character.
The paper was received with evidences of
deep interest by all those present

FLAG ON THE NEW STATION.
Yesterday Lieut.. Hollenberger hoisted to the
top of the staff that surmouuts the new
station the stars and stripes. 1t was
not magnificent, new silk flag that was un-
furied to the breeze, as it has for many months
hoated over the canal. but it invoked as much
enthusiasm among those who watched the in
formal hosting as if it had been the finest ever
made. The officers think, though, that this
worn bunting should be replaced before they
enter the station by new and larger one. 1t
il now probable that the old building will be
occupied until the LIST Of March, us it will take
some time for the plastering in the new struc-
ture TO dry. The station, though, is quite COM
plete and no further work on it is necessary.
