Analytical Chemistry.

Some ~ chemists were lately given
samples of an ore from New Jersey
to work upon. When their results were
compared it was found that some af-
flrmed the presence Of 50 per cent. OF
zinc, while others reported but - per
cent. Of iron some found 21.92 per
cent, others 1904 per cent. In another
ore some found 3s.s PEE cent. of zinc
and 10 per cent. Of iron. while others
found but 28.9 per cent. of zinc and 81
per cent Of iron. In vieg Of these an
alyses the committee of uniformity in
technical analysis in a recent report
holds that there is angle demonstra-
ton that analytical chemistry, as ordi-
narily practieed, is anything but an e1-
act branch of the chemical profession. .
