MEETINGS OF THE SECTIONS.

CINCINNATI SECTION.

The January meeting took place on Tuesday, January 18th, in the Lloyd Library, sixteen members being present, Prof. O. W. Martin in the chair.

Dr. Everhard Weber, care of The Procter and Gamble Co., Ivorydale, O. and Mr. August J. Spieler, care of The Emery Candle Works, Ivorydale, O., were elected members of this section. Mr. Ernst Twitchell read a valuable paper on "Products of the Action of Sulphuric Acid on Oleic Acid." Mr. HayesCampbell then reported on the manufacture of sugar from sugarcane as practised in Louisiana.

After some discussion anent the defining of the territory of the section, as required by the amended constitution, the meeting, upon motion, adjourned.

The February meeting took place in the Lloyd Library, on Tuesday, February 18, ten members being present; Mr. Henry B. Foote was called to the chair.

Mr. George W. Fuller, chief chemist with the Cincinnati Water Works Commission, was elected a member of this section. Prof. T. H. Norton gave an interesting historical review of the progress of applied electrochemistry. In the discussion on this subject, Mr. Fuller spoke at some length on the purification of water by the electric current.

Incidentally, Mr. Hayes-Campbell called attention to the commercial superiority of copper wire made by electrodeposition, on account of its greater purity and consequently its greater conductivity, the product of an American firm, having recently been preferred by the British Navy.

Mr. Hayes-Campbell then communicated a recently recorded analysis of a mechanical mixture of cast iron and phosphorus, which operation had the effect of almost doubling the tensile strength of the former, while part of the uncombined carbon. was converted into combined carbon.

On motion, the meeting adjourned.

S. WALDBOTT, Secretary.

RHODE ISLAND SECTION.

The regular monthly meeting of the Rhode Island Section of the American Chemical Society was held at the Hope Club

House, Providence, January 27, 1898, with Mr. Edward D. Pearce as presiding officer.

After dinner, Dr. E. A. Fourneaux presented a paper on "Some Applications of Chemistry to the Printing of Fabrics." The reader described the different stages through which the calico printing industry has passed. Starting with a simple impression from an engraved object with a few coloring-matters, the business has gradually become complicated and difficult of operation. By means of certain chemicals printed on the cloth at first, it is possible to prevent the formation of color lakes and thus produce a white or to discharge the coloring-matter already placed on the fiber, and so produce a like effect.

WALTER E. SMITH, Secretary.
