5. General conchiswn as to purity of Paris grrcn in market. — 

 Our results indicate a satisfactory condition as to the arsenic 

 content of Paris green found in the market during 1901, and 

 the same can be said as to the amount of water-soluble com- 

 pounds present in the samples examined. 



AMENDMENT TO PARIS GREEN LAW. 



In accordance with the suggestions made by us last year, that 

 portion of the Paris Green Law which related to the definition 

 of Paris green was changed. The essential portion of the 

 amended law embodying this change is as follows: 



" § 112. Composition of Paris green or analogous products. — 

 Paris green, or any product analogous to it, when sold, offered 

 or exposed for sale as such, in this state, shall comply with the 

 following requirements: 



" First. It shall contain arsenic, in combination with copper, 

 equivalent to not less than fifty percentum arsenious oxide. 



" Second. It shall not contain arsenic in water-soluble forms 

 equivalent to more than three and one-half per centum of arse- 

 nious oxide."
