## Abstract An account is given or a new laboratory method of determining the least proportion of incombustible dust which must be added to a combustible dust in order that the mixture, when dispersed in any volume of air will not propagate flame. In common with other smallβscale methods depending

traversed b rndiul lines. It wns onc of the most hniitiful sights in eicmistry t o scc ribbon after ribbon forniing in this wny-t.hc process clelmncling partly on diffusion, p r b l y on flow. The proccss could bo cnrried out on nlmost a n y scale, nnd showcd detnil b t t c r thnn when performed in rn t u b . Ho would venture to suggest trying tho ~1 exporimcrlts in this manner. But the platc~ must truly plane. Thc AUTIIOI~, in reply, mid it was interesting to know that Mr; Hntachck considercd thnt the rigid structure of gels might la tho cnum of tho formtion of true apherulitos, and that this niight nccolint for their nonformation in aqueous solutions. He quite a p e d wlth him that at a highcr nlag~ificotion the barium solphato might a p p r crystnlline. l'hat led t o tlie larger question whcther colloids wero not gcnernlly crystallinc in their ultimate structure. I n the cam of lead chlorido and in all other caws he had uscd distilled water. Without actually knowing anything of Dr. Mills' work he had prcviously worked hotwecn glass plates under a microscope, but had found it almost impossible t o obtain results of a definite order. When working with capillary t u h s , onc could tro certain of measurements, etc.
