USES OF CHEMISTRY.

An article in La Nature, Paris,
quoted in the Literary Digest, re
minds us that it is scarcely a century
since chemistry with it's useful and
orderly investigation and results sue
ceeded the older alchemy, hardly q
fertile art" Some of the latest meth
DDS of observation are discussed as
follows
When the chemist has substances
as pure as possible; when the man
ufacturer has succeeded in preparing
to good advantage the product that
he wishes to sell, they must possess
methods enabling the former to study
the properties and reactions of bodies
and the latter to control their fabri-
cation and to perfect it,
The first and most essentia. in an
alysis in the most general sense of the
word. Chemical analysis enables us
to affirm the presence or absence of
certain elements and to measure their
amount. Laboratory technic in this
regard is the same as in Lavoisier' s
time, but with improvements.
In the industries, where precision
is of secondary importance and rap
idity is most desirable, methods of
analysis by color and volume have
almost displayed those by weight.
/" But chemical analysis can give
information about the composition of
bodies and in many cases their 9TH
er properties are much more interest
ing. This is way, before putting
their products on the market, manu-
facturers subject them to tests sim
liar to those that they are compelled
to undergo in practice. Among
these, for instance, are breaking tests
by shock, compression and traction,
and tests for hardness.
AS physics has developed, and has
placed other tools than the balance
at the disposal of the investigator,
methods enabling us to examine the
nature of phenomena more minutely
have made great strides. Among all
these, the one most frequently used
nowadays is perhaps the microscope
Applied to transparent bodies cut into
thin slices, ii gives us exact informa-
ton of the constitution of the most
complex rocks and gives very minute
information where chemical analysis
would give only approximate compo-
sitions. If the subject to be exam
ined is Opaque, it may be polished
sufficiently TO reveal its structure
This branch of chemistry is metallog-
raphy, which in these later years has
been greatly extended and has not
only advanced the study of the con-
stitution of alloys but has rendered
still greater service to the metallur-
gical industries; it enables us to de-
termine, by simple examination, the
condition and previous thermic treat.

He did not mention that he was be-
