✦ Synopsis

A different report came from Paris where the lowering of pressure resulted in a distinct lessening of consumption. Such experiments in economy indicate the straits to which the French are driven as the joint result of the destruction of their coal mines by the German invaders, and of the failure of Germany to deliver coal as she promised to do in the Treaty of Versailles.

G. F. S. Chemical Composition of Cottonseed Oil.--GEORGE S. JAMIEson and "~VALTER F. BAUGHMAN (Journal of the American Chemical Society, 192o, xlii, 1197-12o4) have analyzed cold-pressed, refined oil obtained from Sea Island cottonseed. The oil had the following composition: Glycerides of myristic acid, 0. 3 per cent.; palmitic acid, 2o.0 per cent. ; stearic acid, 2.0 per cent. ; arachidic acid, 0.6 per cent. ; oleic acid, 35.2 per cent. ; linolic acid, 41.7 per cent. ; total, 99.8 per cent. Linolenic acid was not present in the oil. J. S. H.
