Have Analyzed Gases.

By the use of a new German instrument, which takes the index of refraoJtion of mixed gases, Haber and Lowe are able to find the amount of carbon dioxide and methane contained in mine gases. The method is also useful in many other cases, such as for benzol vapors in the gas distilled by gas or coke plants, also sulphurous anhydride in tfie gases coming from pyrites roasting, as well as percentages of ozone In the air. They are also able to check the purity of hydrogen made by the electrolytic process, observe the gases in human breath and carry out other very ufteful tests. We desire to be classified according to our exceptional virtues; we are apt to classify our neighbor according to his exceptional faults.—Honry Bates Diamond.
