The equipment and operation of a modern factory for the production of 

 fruit juices, E. Walter {Pure Products, 6 (1910), Nos. 10, pp- 561-565; 11, 

 pp. 627-630, figs. 10). — ^A general discussion of the principles involved and 

 machinery required. 



Sugar, G. Maetineau {London and Neiv York, [1910], p-p. IX+lJi9, pJ. 1, 

 figs. IS, dgm. 1, 'map 1). — A popular discussion of the cane and beet sugar 

 industry of the world, considering cane and beet juices, clarification, crystalli- 

 s^ation, sugar refining, the cane and beet industries, competition, the sugar 

 market, consumption, production, imports, exports, and results in a German 

 sugar factory in the season of 190S-9. 



Sug'ar, cellulose, and alcohol manufacture from com stalks, G. Doby 

 {Chem. Ztg., 34 (1910), No. 1J,9, pp. 1330, 1331, figs. 2; abs. in Ztschr. Spirit- 

 usindus., 34 (1911), No. 1, p. 2). — This article deals with the results of tests 

 with corn stalks for tbe production of saccharose, cellulose, and alcohol. The 

 amount of saccharose from the fresh stalks in Hungary (9 to 12 per cent) was 

 found to be somewhat lower than in the United States (12 to 14 per cent). 



The storage of feed beets, diffusion cossettes, and beet foliage, A. Zait- 

 SCHEK (KisMct. Kozlem., 13 (1910), No. 6, pp. 7. ',9-76 1).— It was found 

 that in storing feed beets of the Magyar type, 14.6 per cent of the digestible 

 organic substance was lost of which more than half consisted of sugar. In 

 the case of the diffusion cossettes from 19 to 44 per cent of the digestible matter 

 disappeared, the amount lost being dependent upon the time of storage. This 

 loss could not be checked by the use of the lacto-pulp method. Beet foliage 

 suffered a loss of 37.4 per cent. 



Utilization of the by-products of the vine and wine manufacture, V. Ver- 

 MOREL and E. Dantony (JJUlisation des Sous-Produits de la Vigne et du Vin. 

 Paris, 1910, pp. VII+166, figs. 10). — This work deals with the extraction of 

 alcohol, tannin, and oil, the purification of the tartrates, the manufacture of 

 verdigris and fertilizers, the utilization of the stems and similar topics. 



Beport of the city chemist of Gottenborg for 1909, J. E. Axen (Arslier. 

 8tadskem. Lah. Gotehorg, 1909, pp. 15). — A summary of the results obtained 

 in the examination of foods, feeding stuffs, chemicals, and chemical-industrial 

 products (including arsenic and wood pulp) is given in this report. 



[Beport of Danish chemical laboratories] (Tidsskr. Landokonomi, 1910, 

 Nos. 7, pp. 434-458. 459-480; 8, pp. 538-549). — ^A summary and results of chem- 

 ical analyses of dairy products, feeding stuffs, fertilizers, and other agricultural 

 products at the Stein analytical laboratory in Copenhagen are given and dis- 

 cussed briefiy by F. Christensen, together with similar reports of the work of 

 other Danish agricultural chemical laboratories for 1909. 



General index to Biedermanns Zentralblatt fiir Agrikulturchemie, M. P. 

 Neumann (General-Register zu Biederiiuinns Zentralblatt fiir Agrikulturchemie, 

 Band XXVI Us XXXV. Leipsic, 1907, pp. 244).— This is the general index 

 from 1897-1906. 



General index to Jahresbericht fiir Chemie, 1897—1904, E. Feomm (Gen- 

 eral-Register zum Jahresbericht fiir Chemie, 1897-1904- I, Autoren-Register. 

 Brunsn-ick, 1910, pp. 847). This is the combined author and subject index 

 from 1897-1904-. 



METEOROLOGY— WATER. 



Connecticut weather review, W. M. Esten and C. J. Mason (Connecticut 

 8t07'rs Sta. Bui. 64, pp. 155-187, charts 7). — This bulletin summarizes observa- 

 tions on temperature at Storrs for 1909 and 21 preceding years, and on rain- 

 fall for a like period at Storrs and at 20 other places in the State. Five tem- 

 perature curves showing the mean and variations of temperature for 21 years
