INDUSTRIAL AND ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY

tilized from the cooling system, it is evident that the controlled tests have shown the fallacv of this conceDtion. The losses are general, and antifreeze and water disappear in approximately the same proportions. If such losses are replaced with water only, the antifreeze will be diluted, and freezing points will be raised. It may be that the popular misconception concerning methanol antifreeze arises from an improper appreciation of this fact. Again it is possible that by acting on that misconceDtion. redacenients have often been made with straight antiheezej Gith a resultant lowering of the boiling point and large losses* It is hoped that these data may correct this misconception and promote a more rational method of servicing by making replacements with

solution rather than with straight water or with straight antifreeze.

I n this painting, No. 86 in t h e Berolzheimer series of Alchemical and Historical Reproductions, this prominent Dutch artist has again turned t o the early apothecary’s “kitchen” for his inspiration. The original, painted in 1818, is in t h e Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. While some of t h e apparatus are clearly children of the alchemical age, others show a decided improvement over the latter--for example, the boxed condenser at the left. T h e enormous scale-beam, suspended from the ceiling, is also of interest. This is t h e second reproduction in the series by this artist; the first, No. 48, appeared in our issue of December, 1934, page 1279. D. D. Berolzheimer 50 E a s t 41st St., New York, N. Y.
