DR.. CANTER READS PAPER
ON OSMOTIC PRESSURE
Interesting Review of the Work Done This Property of sou
ton Made Before Chemists Clash

DIR. Hall Canter, of Randolph Macon
College read a paper before the Viz
ginia Chemists Club on Friday even
ting upon recent work on osmotic pres
sure, particularly describing the very
important work being done at the
Johns Hopkins University by Profess
scr Morse and his CO. workers. 1t may
be explained that IL a solution OF some
coiored substance like blue vitrioI be
poured Into deep dish. and then filed
with water, in the course OF time the
blue vitrioi will be seen TO difYuse up
into the water. and in spite Of the fact
that blue vitrici Is much heavier than
water This movement so apparently
contrary to the law of gravitation Is
due TO osmotic pressure. IL there were
q semi permeable membrane between
the vitrtoi and the water. the yttrtol
would be prevented from going through
into the water even though the water
could pass through the membrane free
ly, SO that a pressure would be exert
ed on the membrane which would be
a measure of the osmotic pressure.
DR.. Canter gave a brief historical re-
view OF the work done on this prop
erty of solutions, telling how the
Dutch botanist Pfeffer in 1877 while
studying the rise OF sap in trees. was
led TO make measurements of osmotic
pressure. Some idea of the experiment
tai difficulties he faced may be inferred
from the fact that the celebrated chem
lists. the world over have attempted to
measure this property with indifferent
success 's

Mayor and Five Alderman of New
Bern Facing
Trial.

Especial TO The Richmond virginian. }
RALEIGH. n. c.. March 22,-The
mayor of Newborn and five members
of the board of aldermen are being
tried this week, charged with selling
supplies and equipment to the city.
A special term of court was called
by Governor kitchin TO try the cases.
Strong legal counsel has been en-
ployed by the defendants. and the
cases will be hotly contested The
amounts of the sales vary from small
amounts to accounts that will run
into thousands of dollars. The cases
are similar TO one tried In Green's
horo a short time ago, where MEM
Der of the board of aldermen was
convicted of selling to the city and
fined after 1t was shown that he had
sold the goods much cheaper than
they could have been purchased else
where.
