This and similar materials have come
since into wide and rapidly expanding
use in refrig rations-for the drying of
air, especially the blast in the manu-
facture Of pig iron; in the refining of
petroleum products, such as gasoline
ana kerosene, and for the recovery of
many valuable chemicals out of hither-

The fields of usefulness which lie
ahead remain to be explored in the light
of the new knowledge of capillarity

only will many industries and processes
be revolutionized by the use of these
