 A. Atomic weight is the number depressing the relative weight of one atom of an element compared with the weight of some unit, usually that of the hydrogen atom, which Is the ,lightest at present known. Specific gravity is the ratio of the weight of given bulk of any substance to that of standard substance. The substance taken as the standard is water for solids and liquids, air or hydrogen for gases. CD One may obtain apparatus to separate watel into its component parts, but moi vice versa. A chemical friend says the result might be accomplished however, by means of electricity and certain apparatus. (3) Chlorid o lime is obtained by exposing slacket lime to the action of chlorine gas un til absorption ceases. Your symbols are correct, but cannot be reproduced here.

 MT. Jerome had before this announc- ed that he would not press further his objections to one of the men already chosen. For two days he had urged that this man be released.
 The defense objected. MT. Hartridge declared: ''This busting of sworn ju- TOTS is making farce of the trial. We will not consent to this mans removal, and if he is busted summarily 1t will give us grounds on which to demand a new trial in case our client is convict ed.".

 Assistant District Attorney Garvan will make the opening address for the prosecution. His remarks will be very brief, occupying perhaps not more than twenty minutes. The state will then introduce only such witnesses as are necessary to prove that Stanford White was shot and killed by Harry K. Thaw on the Madison Square Rooi garden the night of June 9 last.
