✦ Synopsis
tablishment of a wireless-telegraphy research laboratory in connection with the Bureau of Standards at Washington. It is planned to locate the laboratory in the recently completed electrical building of the Bureau of Standards, and the tower for the antennae will be erected on the east side of the structure.

Artificial Silk Manufacturing Results. ANON. (Chem. Trade
]., April 14, I914.)--The viscose process for the manufacture of artificial silk is making rapid progress among Continental manufacturers, and the financial results of two important concerns that have discarded other processes in favor of the viscose process are sufficient to show that the change has not been made at the expense of the profits. The Fabrique de Sole Artificielle de Tubize, which has hitherto manufactured by the gun-cotton process, is increasing its capital by two million francs to acquire a controlling interest in a new company which will work the viscose system in Belgium. The last report shows a net profit of 1088,9o2 francs, and dividends of 25 per cent. on the preference shares and 2o per cent. on the ordinary shares are being paid. The report issued by the Vereinigte Glanzstoff-Fabriken, Elberfeld, probably the largest producers of artificial silk in the world, shows a net profit of 5,743,598 marks, against 3,726,825 marks in the previous year, and a dividend of 34 per cent. is proposed. Up to about two years ago this company worked only the cupro-ammonium process, but it has since adopted the viscose process with good results.
