11-The steam-heated reflux condenser b y returning t h e heavier fractions t o t h e cracking zone, increased t h e yield of gasoline. 111-Condensation was best effected under pressure. IV-By proper regulation of t h e conditions, gasoline can be secured from a n y petroleum oil. V-It is considered more economical t o crack t h e oil with as little gas loss as possible, recover t h e gasoline, and work t h e tails over again. I n this way t h e final products are gas, gasoline, and carbon. VI-In this process excessive carbon deposition was not a factor. VII-The most satisfactory materials are heavy kerosene and fuel oil.

c 0 N c L u SI0 N T h e preparation of solvent gasoline is not difficult a n d is quite feasible when a supply of heavy kerosene o r fuel oil can be readily obtained a t normal price. A C K N 0 W L E D G 31E 1-T

T h e alkalinity of one gram of ash of I a n d I 1 was found t o be 1 2 . 7 0 and 12.71, respectively.

Sample I was raw unsweetened juice bottled b y t h e Pheasant Fruit Juice Company of Salem, Oregon, during t h e summer of 191j. Sample I 1 was collected from fresh berries b y subjecting t h e m t o pressure with a Yale press, July I O , 1916. Sample I11 was obtained in t h e same manner as I1 b u t later in t h e season, zliz., August 8, 1916. T h e higher moisture content1 a n d lower total solids of Sample I11 are due t o t h e fact t h a t t h e sample was dried in a steam oven whereas I a n d I1 were dried in v a c u o a t i o ” C.

T h e following table of analyses of the ash of certain household wastes is t h e result of work recently undertaken with t h e cooperation of John Phillips Street, of t h e Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, t o determine t h e possible fertilizing value of such material. T h e table is b y no means complete a n d we hope t o be able t o make a number of additions t o it in t h e near future. No a t t e m p t was made t o secure very carefully ashed products, b u t rather t o secure results which would be obtained b y burning in a n improvised incinerator under ordinary household conditions.
